About
Turquoise is the resident giggler of the makerspace. Turquoise is an artist and maker who found MakeICT through John Harrison and his Filimin project. As a non-profit employee who directly assists in the maintenance of John's partnership with the Wichita Women's Initiative, she stumbled into MakeICT with John one Maker Monday and simply never left...
Since then she's involved herself in every dedicated space possible, learning under James Lancaster and Christian Kindle in the FabLab, Susan Dewitt in the Ceramics Studio and with the spiritual and emotional guidance of |John C. She is a self taught Seriagrapher (Silkscreen Printer) and former Graphic Designer, and always willing to learn/pick up new hobbies. When she's not hogging the 3D printer or breaking it, she can be found in the Ceramics Studio, in the garage area spraypainting acrylic art or leading study groups with other WSU students in the makerspace's lounge.
While not particularly versed in engineering or mechanics, Turquoise is an excellent source to those seeking to build a toolbox equipped with more cultural or social-emotional tools.....and "artsy" things.
