Ask a Maker! Experienced makers answer your questions
Come ask a panel of makers including Jimmy DiResta, Sophy Wong and Matt Stultz questions about processes, tools, inspiration, sourcing, design, technique, electronics, woodworking, sewing, digital fabrication, cooking and more. Moderated by Lenore Edman of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories.
What inspired you to begin investigating your topic or inspired you to make your project?:
Matt Stultz had an "Ask A Maker" booth at MFNY two years ago. I thought it would be awesome to put that idea into a panel, to gather folks to hear the answers all at once, with a few awesome makers on stage from different areas of expertise.
