Makers and creators will showcase their wares at the Warburton Makers’ Fair.
Yarra Valley ECOSS in Wesburn will host the Saturday 13 October event from 11am to 9pm.
The event is like a craft market, where people can sell their hand-crafted and bespoke objects.
But the emphasis is on sharing skills, hands-on workshops and demonstrations, from old world skills to modern technologies and innovations.
Organisers said the cross-over of different techniques and disciplines stimulated greater creativity and innovation.
A speakers’ corner will share information about making and doing, and have a strong focus on community resilience.
Events already booked include flying, demonstrating and making drones; community-made sand sculpture; a mosaic totem pole for public participation; electronic workshops and activities; fabric up-cycling workshops; a LEGO display and table for participation; a pop-up shop and more.
There’ll also be a design-a -badge competition that entrants can take part in online or on the day.
After dark there will be a grand finale, featuring the costumes of light, a light flower garden made from recycled plastics and lighting, and projection-mapping.
Entry is $5 for adults and free for children.
