We are about as excited as we’ve ever been in our lives this week. Why? We’re going to Bay Area Maker Faire! It’s on this weekend and, well, this has always been a dream for us. We’re pinching ourselves…

If you’re in the San Francisco area, come and see us! We’ll be in the MakerSHED, and we’ll have a demo / hacking workshop area with lots of sugru for you to try out there and then. Dig out those things waiting to be hacked and repaired and bring them along – we’ll give you enough sugru to do your project there and then. We may even have a few prizes for best hacks ;-)

And, well, how could we refuse an amazing opportunity to work with the supreme hackers at our favourite magazine in the world…. we’ve worked round the clock recently to make a limited number of packs for MAKE (on top of the sugru stock we’re building for sugru.com) that you’ll be able to buy from MakerSHED at the Faire.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED Come help us out at the sugru stall
The crowds will be huge, so we’re looking people to join us in our hacking area to show the masses how sugru works. If you’d like to help people hack and make with sugru over the weekend, and meet other sugru fans, we have a few free MF passes for volunteers – email me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) if you’d like to help — even for just a few hours! We’d love to meet you :)

(Finally, as you can see from our timeline, we’re getting DARN CLOSE now. That means more exciting announcements soon.)

The big weekend in the UK maker calendar is nearly here! This is the second year for the UK Maker Faire which is a baby of the big beast in California every year, and it’s on this weekend March 13-14 at the Centre for Life in the middle of Newcastle.
We’ll be there !
Got a project that could use some sugru? Something broken waiting for a fix? Or a badly needed hack?
There’ll be a limited amount of free sugru available for hacking over the weekend, so email us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), tell us what you’d like to hack / repair / make and we’ll book you in!

Last weekend we brought sugru to the Electric Picnic in Ireland. Cultivate invited us to be part of the global green area at the festival and we met some great people ! (as well as getting to see the fleet foxes, florence and the machine and rodrigo y gabriela :D)
We used the weekend to chat with people about hacking, repairing and sugru and we learned that Irish people are natural hackers ! We were also chuffed to get to hang out with Anne from Rothar and eat the very yummy pizza from the Slow Food people.
