This past May, a jaw-dropping 45,000 people gathered at the San Mateo Fairgrounds in California for an event some called, “The Woodstock for inventors.” — A one-of-a-kind event for tech geeks, crafty hipsters, DIY lovers, and basically, anyone who builds anything — from 7 year-olds to 70 year olds — Maker Faire brought together people from over 10 different countries and 36 different states. — This fall, the award-winning Maker Faire is coming to Austin — October 20 & 21 at the Travis County Fairgrounds. A two-day, family-friendly event for creative, resourceful folks who like to tinker and love to make things. We call them Makers. Children 3 years and under are free! Pre-order now and save!

    Hooray — finally a fair that’s perfect for both my husband and me. Austin is a great location and within appropriate driving distance, too.

Independent Crafters Information

On the Indie Crafts section of CraftGossip I like to support other indie artists by posting tips about running a handmade business, blogging and other helpful information. Once a week I try to feature handmade shops to showcase their work. I also like to share trendy, popular DIY's that I think are amazing and hope you do as well. If you are an Independent Artist or want to start a handmade business, this is the place to find resources. Or if you just love DIY's and everything crafty I hope you'll find some fun projects to make and be inspired by the artists I feature!
