Past Makers & Exhibits
Kris Sturgess

The Science of Art Glass. Get a glimpse of the make-up, property and science behind the art of glass blowing. Learn history and facts behind how this material is made. Glass tumblers will be available for purchase.
Diorama Landscapes
The Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery invites you to create your own art to take home. We will assist you, but you get to decide what sort of 3D landscape to build in your diorama box. Realistic or fantasy, imagine, create and build your own world.
Robots Are Fun-Touch pool
Robots Are Fun focuses on creating projects to inspire young makers or projects that anyone can make. This year there will be a collection of projects from the previous 5 years of Robots Are Fun Maker Projects.
RDC Continuing Education
Virtual Reality welders were utilized as part of the Virtual Reality and Co-operative Trades - The Next Generation program at RDC. By training virtually students were able to gain experience and instructors noticed a marked improvement in skills.
The Growroom - an urban farm pavilion
Standing tall as a spherical garden, the Growroom empowers people to grow their own food much more locally in a beautiful and sustainable way.
Cigar Box Guitars
I make "Cigar Box" guitars, but I don't always use cigar boxes, just scraps of wood and whatever else is around when I need it. The builds require only a few basic tools, the players don't need much skill either.
Eclectic Eccentric
I have a collection of machines and objects made in my home metal working shop. I have a 7 hp dozer from a kit, a 20 hp articulating loader, a rope maker, knock down gantry, and who knows what else by the show date.
What is Maker Faire?
Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these "makers" to show hobbies, experiments, projects.
We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth - a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness.
Glimpse the future and get inspired!
