Mini-Makers show their stuff
"Laura Shafer placed key words with a rubber ink stamp on wooden clothes pins. These words, such as “plenty” and “breathe,” could be randomly pulled out of a clothes pin bag to form haiku poems or clever phrases during what has become a forgotten chore — drying clothes in the sun. “I’m trying to make line drying fun so that people will get out of their dryers,” said Shafer, a Sebastopol artist who participated Saturday in a mini-Maker Faire at Copperfield’s Books at Montgomery Village. The event is a scaled down, community-oriented version of the wildly popular Maker Faire, the world’s premiere do-it-yourself event that’s sponsored by Make Magazine, a publication of Sebastopol-based O’Reilly Media."
