Maker Faire Bay Area 2024

Lara Grant

Home: Oregon, United States

Lara Grant designs clothing and accessories that blend history, education, and fun. Pulling from her background in fashion, physical computing, and education, colorful designs are made into pins, patches, and one-of-a-kind textile designs. Garments and bags highlight sustainable practices while engaging the wearer by communicating history or teaching hands-on skills. Waste materials are minimized by using low-waste cut patterns during garment and bag construction. Natural and organic fibers are used and each item is packaged in recyclable or biodegradable material. Lara first demoed at Bay Area Maker Faire in 2008 and has been a long-time member of the e-textiles community. She is excited to be back this year!
