Photos from the Fairy door workshop

This week Steven Smethurst (abluestar.com) hosted the Magic/Fairy door workshop at the Vancouver hackspace (VHS). This workshop was made possible with a grant from the Vancouver Foundation, and Vancouver HackSpace (VHS).

Steven Smethurst and Tyson Haverkort designed ~24 different styles of fairy doors for the workshop. They iterated on the different designed several times until they selected three of the best designs. ~90 doors were cut, and primed with paint before the event. 30 people from the local community where invited to the Vancouver Hackspace where they each got a few doors to decorate. Paint, glue, glitter, tools, and other magical art supplies where provided by the Vancouver Hackspace. A website has been created that lets people add the location of their fairy doors to a map with pictures and comments.
