The pioneering ladies of The Austin Craft Mafia let us in on their many craft-making adventures!

Screenprinted tees, made with the help of Susann Keohane at the ACM booth, were then transformed it into a one of a kind creation with the help of Stitch Lab!

Mafia members Leslie Bonnell, Jenny Hart and more led a variety of textile and fashion-related classes at the Stitch Lab booth!

The fellas from Public School were in attendance sharing their design and photography skills. Check out all the many hilarious “school portraits” taken by this incredible, Austin-based design collective here!

Part boutique, part classroom – The WonderCraft had their shiny, new 32-foot airline streamer (a.k.a.Stella!) on site, leading a slew of workshops in jewelry + accessory making!

The fantastic folks from ETSY.com led a wonderful hands-on booth! Stamping, sewing, printing – you name it! Etsy helped guide attendees through many quick + simple, make + take projects!

Boisterous pandemonium erupted when Austin’s Minor Mishap Marching Band made their way through the Fair + only the best in independent music was on blast with DJs from KVRX on hand! Americana folkster’s Shotgun Party played two terrific sets both days!
