Impressively eloquent talk by @agpublic tonight challenging the concept of 'smart cities' & proposing alternatives. Equally inspiring qu's.

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

Me too @makerhood! It's quite an adventure - thanks for being part of it!! #lambethmakers

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

And many other places too! Follow @makerhood on twitter to get up-to-date info! #lambethmakers

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

There are Makerhoodies in @Diversegifts, Brixton & @RPS_SE27 in West Norwood. Also at @WN_FEAST & @craftyfoxmarket #lambethmakers

What I'd like to see is makers having a great Xmas as everyone buys locally handmade cards & presents! @makerhood #lambethmakers

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

@makerhood wouldn't be here without our great, and super-talented makers! #lambethmakers

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

Biggest achievement maybe is seeing the community of makers come together, collaborate & support each other. @makerhood #lambethmakers

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

collaborations are great too, like with @Diversegifts, @wbc and @theopenworks. And between makers too like @WomenoftheCloth @makerhood

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

The two #makinguncovered events were great - taking making into the community. There's a great video of 1st one here: http://t.co/NvIalK69Tb

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

Also, I want to say I've loved every minute of @makerhood. Best thing is all the amazing people I've met through it! #lambethmakers

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

Time-management tips! My best tip is work out what's most important and focus on that. Do the important stuff well & say no to other stuff

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

Biggest challenge is time. We (@tinich, @flextiles and I) don't work on @makerhood full-time & have other jobs so more time would be nice!!

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

I guess being local is at the heart of what @makerhood is about. Local makers, local buyers, local shops - strengthening local community

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

At the same time as building the website we started meeting local makers through flyers around Brixton #lambethmakers

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

No, I never got the shop - until the collaborations with @Diversegifts and @RPS_SE27! We began with a website #lambethmakers

[karen martin @krnmrtn]

Oh, and we had to find a name of course! That took a while :-) #lambethmakers
