Laura Mathews is redefining creativity with her interactive puppets and sculptures, inspired by the intricate beauty of biological mechanics. Her fascination with life’s movements began in childhood, raising a sparrow chick and marveling at how pin feathers unfurled into a perfect flying machine. Now, she channels that inspiration into her work, blending artistic vision and technical ingenuity. Her talent has earned her places in the prestigious Craft Council’s Hothouse programme and the ‘Developing Your Creative Practice’ award from Arts Council England. Discover Lauren’s process and how she’s inspiring makers everywhere in Make: Magazine Volume 91. Available in both digital and print editions now. https://lnkd.in/ga2XbBxd #LaurenMathews #MakeMagazine #Puppetry #CreativeEngineering #MakerSpotlight #MakersMovement

✨ The magic of community has always been about the amazing PEOPLE! This year, I finally got to enjoy the "privilege" of being a visitor at the amazing Maker Faire Shenzhen - exploring exhibition booths with the Cool-Project Hunter David and having heartwarming conversations with passionate makers and friends who traveled from afar. This is romantic for me to see so many people gather from all corners of the world in Shenzhen just for this event! (Fun fact: I met Mohit on site who just merged one of my PRs a few days ago 😄; ). Old friends reunited, and new forces converged, creating this beautiful synchronicity. Even more inspiring? Everyone brought their creative projects and solutions, along with open minds and curious hearts, sharing their year's discoveries with like-minded souls. Behind these exchanges lies something that always moves me - the courage to share and the determination to pursue better. P.S. Major kudos and big shout-outs to our organizing team and volunteers at Chaihuo Maker Space and Seeed Studio - you lovely people made another incredible Maker Faire Shenzhen happen! 💚 Rain Ye, Ying Cai, Alison Yang, Ray Huang, and many more. See you next year, MFSZ24! I will share some of my favorite projects that I encountered during my "treasure hunt" at MFSZ24 later on. For those who want to have a preview of all the highlight moments and cool projects, feel free to click on this live photo album: https://lnkd.in/gdBcDVxs #MakerFaire #Community #Innovation #Shenzhen #MakerCommunity
