Paper Craft Helmets
Steam Punk Weapons
It is Science, It is Art, It is Fun, It is done by people like us! April 13 and 14, 2013, TC Makers are conducting a Minne-Faire. The TC Makers are a collection of DIY artists that explore their world using any combination of electronics, 3-D printing, metelworking, woodworking, textiles and other mediums. They have shared workspace and awesome manufacturing equipment. Classes and instructions are available and the atmosphere is of sharing and learning. Check out TCMaker.org for more information. If you read this in time for the Sunday events you might discover a world of delightful innovation.

The food for sale held a lot of interest for some young ones. Some hand-crafted material was offered for sale in some booths. Art projects were everywhere and filled booths. This art was grounded in metal fabrications, or serious woodworking, maybe controlled with micro-switches and electronic circuitry. Artistic sensibilities, with grease under the fingernails. Enthusiasm was spread around lavishly by youth and the aged over many projects.
