Past Makers & Exhibits
Art By Day One
I am an artist from maskwacis based out of red deer. I have art in 4 galleries across alberta and I travel to different events to do live painting and display my work. I've done mural work in edmonton at Victoria school for the arts.
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.
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.
Kris Sturgess
Back again with my fan built 1:1 Aluminum R2-D2. Also bringing some wifi controlled retro robots such as Omnibots, Robosapien, and Wall-E.
MAKErunway
Make Runway is a creative challenge for those passionate about Fashion and its art. Over the course of a day, makers of all ages raced against the clock to create a runway fashion outfit using the unconventional materials.
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.
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.
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.
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!
