we love our come together events!
this one was super fun, as we teamed up with our friends from athica at the lyndon house for the athens maker fest!
the event hosted makers of all types...lace makers and spinners on up to people working with 3-d printers and robotics...a little something for everyone!
inspired by some of rinne's photography projects, all 3 of our activites had to do with light and optics, but in a very fundamental way. we made sun prints with found objects outside on the sidewalk. we also created a walk-in camera obscura room where the walls were filled with images projected from the outside. and, last but not least, there were 10 portable camera obscura that folks could put on their head to learn how a camera works (thanks to our friends janelle & ryan who fabricated them for us!).
it was great to see so many people out enjoying all types of making, and we thank the lyndon house for hosting such a great event, and thanks to hatch athens for putting it all together!
