Maker Faire Austin 2007
The Maker As Revolutionary
Maker Stage , Sunday 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM
In 2005, Wendy launched Swap-O-Rama-Rama, an "alternative to consumerism" in the form of a clothing swap and DIY workshop. The aim is to inspire creative reuse through the recycling of used clothing by cutting, sewing, and transforming the garments into something new, original, and decidedly your own. Since its introduction, Swap-O-Rama-Rama has grown to more than 40 cities around the world, including a very special swap at Maker Faire.
