Curiosity at the Maker Faire, 11-13 March 2011, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
Things are getting busy at the Collective as we update a few of our Time Show pieces to exhibit at Maker Faire UK. If you are a maker/crafter/hacker/enthusiast and find yourself in Newcastle between 11-13th March the faire is well worth a visit. Details of our projects below:
