Although not our primary occupation it’s tough not to get hands dirty when exploring makerspaces and other creative environments. We’ve been lucky enough to share some of those experiences with others through exhibitions of photo essays and hand crafted creations from our Make Something collection:
Exhibitions of Creative Work:
Hynes, W. Shifting Perspectives in Craft. A photo essay documenting the dichotomy of modern makerspaces – the original grassroots perspective on making as a hobby and the corporate driven perspective on making as a way of fostering intellectual property. Two makerspaces are documented in this photo essay, both in the same large Midwestern city. Agnes Jones Gallery, University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point. November 16-27, 2015.
Hynes, W. Maker: People, Places, Things. Multi-media exhibition featuring made artifacts, video and photographs documenting makerspace environments in Europe and around the United States.
