Maker Magic events are designed to highlight cache quality and cache creation.
This Event will be in three parts:
1) Educational Workshop
Hear from local cachers iTEEM, Washawa and Mister Doctor about their own unique approaches to cache creation and what it takes to make a favourite-worthy cache. They will highlight some of their own builds and hopefully inspire a build of your own!
2) "Build-A-Cache" Workshop
Following on, there will be the option of trying your hand at cammo painting a supplied quality container for a donation to help cover the cost of materials:
- small (baby bottle) - $2 donation
- regular (30cal ammo can) - $5 donation
Please indicate your container size preference in your Will Attend, as materials are limited to 20 small and 20 regular containers. You will be using ultra flat cammo spray paint and foliage to create your own unique container. You can then spray label it with the official geocache stencil.
With grateful thanks to ILookedThere for their donation of all workshop cache containers.
3) Car Boot Swap
In conjunction with the other offerings, we will also be staging a Car Boot Swap in the nearby carpark. So if you have, or are looking for, potential materials for a new cache, bring them along, and we'll rummage through our boots together.
Location: Halliday Park, Mitcham (under the shelter)
Date: Saturday 17 June
Time: 10:30am - 12:00pm
If this is your first Maker Magic event you will earn a souvenir for attending.
