Our unaired pilot! In this introductory episode, we speak with Laura Chenault, Marketing Director for the Philadelphia Maker Faire. Laura, who is also an interdisciplinary artist, talks with us about bookbinding and what brought her to the maker community.

Laura Chenault is an interdisciplinary artist creating art from a feminist and a post-modernist perspective. She believes concept and content must work hand and hand with presentation and display. She is the owner of Laurel Tree Bindery, a small bindery specializing in one of a kind books, zines, and short print runs. Passionate about making, she helps produce the Philly Maker Faire and the Queer Zest Zine Fest.
