Maker Faire Austin 2008
The DIY Factory
The DIY Factory is an annual celebration of creativity that brings together a diverse group of cutting edge independent craftsters, artisans, designers, and musicians to showcase their talents to the general public in a market type setting. It gives many people their first opportunity at being a vendors and allows those that are "old hands" at selling their goods a fresh and new type of market to connect to the community. The 2nd annual DIY Factory will showcase 50+ alternative arts and crafts vendors epitomizing the Do-It-Yourself ethic. You won't see your grandma's country crafts, painted bluebonnets or jams and jellies at our fair. You will, however, see unique fashions and accessories, art dolls, handmade house wares, jewelry, found object art, paintings, silk screened tees and totes, knitted goods, and many other one-of-a-kind hand crafted oddities. The fashion show will feature a range of emerging to established local designers from practical to fantastical. Established local musicians from an assortment of genres will provide the musical entertainment, as well. This year we have added a community information area to our set up. There, you will be able obtain information from local organizations that reflect the DIY ethics, promote the arts, fashion and music scene, as well as non-profits. We will even provide materials and direction at a Make-n-Take area for guests of all ages to get their craft on! The first 100 guests will receive a free handmade goody bag stuffed with some great loot from our vendors and sponsors! Food and Drinks will be available. The DIY Factory is a family friendly event.
