Featured Makers
Sissonic Instruments
I’m a hobbyist luthier working with reclaimed local materials making experimental and exotic instruments from the world over. I’m looking to show off some of my projects, and hopefully connect with other makers in the same sphere and we can learn together!
Pulling Prints: Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Printing
Make your own screen print with a quick, hands-on demonstration! You will learn how to use a stencil, ink, and a squeegee to transfer a design onto a 5″x7″ sheet of paper. For all ages, this interactive booth lets you pull your very own print to take home!
Shireen Art Studio
The White Squirrel Literary and Arts Magazine
Once a year, our student-led organization designs and publishes a literary magazine showcasing the creative work (poetry, prose, and visual art) of UofL students and other members of the Louisville community. We will be bringing a few past issues of our publication to showcase at Maker Faire!
