This year for the first time Studio One Art Center is activating their really great art and craft studios for the East Bay Mini Maker Faire.

If you’re not aware, Studio One is a City of Oakland public arts studio.  They offer classes, after school care, summer camps and all kinds of amazing hands-on arts and making programming throughout the year.

Besides hosting the Maker Shed, BioCurious, MakeSF, Mothership Hackermoms, Ace Monster Toys, Workshop Weekend, the Swap-O-Rama-Rama and more tomorrow, Studio One will be showing off their facility and teachers:

  • Janet Hiebert will be demoing stained glass, glass fusing & glass beads (upstairs)
  • Karen Ehrhardt demoing metal jewelry and Alyssia Cartner on found object assembly (upstairs)
  • Blanca Soltys on wheel throwing demos & hand building demos in the Ceramics Studio (downstairs) + glaze your own bisque ware in the side courtyard

Sounds like there will be drum making and building of terrariums too.  Help Studio make a mosaic for their new garden.  And experience first-hand this City of Oakland cultural hub + resource.
