On the island of Paros, in August 2021, some of the Fabricademy instructors & alumni reunited in-person to share, make and experiment together with a local community of practitioners!
Hosted at the Greek Fabricademy Node Aegean Idea Lab in Paros, managed by Kathy Sinclair, FabriGathering 2021 featured a series of hands-on and social activities tackling different topics of the Fabricademy Program.
Ranging from Natural Dyes and Biofabricating Materials, Circular Fashion and Leather Molding all the way to Soft Robotics and Wearables for Assistive Technologies and interactive applications.
Among the activities, Shemakes contributed to the event proposing collaborative workshops and working groups. During the week, the first Shemakes scientific publication on female makers and innovation ecosystems was presented and highlighted during the Fab Conference.
