Etchpop at Maker Faire San Francisco 2012

We recently took a trip south to show off our woodblocks at “a two-day, family-friendly festival of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement” also known as the Maker Faire! It all happened in the Bay area over the weekend of May 18th and 19th. It was nothing short of amazing and inspiring on all levels! If you’re not familiar with the Maker Fair or Make Magazine, do yourself a favor and check them out!

Over the course of the two days, attendees made over 1300 etchpop prints at our printing stations! We also debuted our new etchpop print dryers, so everyone could dry their newly made print to take home.  Pics of the show can be seen on our facebook page: Maker Faire SF 2012

Thanks again to LaserFaceNateHawk (close Etchpop friend and featured Etchpop Artist) for accompanying us to the Maker Faire!
