With a little bit of delay because I didn't feel up to it three weeks ago, here's this years Ask The Maker activity!

Ask The Maker is where you can ask your favorite makers about how they do that thing. You can ask for tutorials, guides/"How to", or ask any other questions related to their work. Check out the Maker thread (below) for makers who have signed up and are ready to answer your questions.

You can also ask questions to the community at large, and hope that someone is able to answer them. Do this in the Questions thread (below).

I am looking forward to interesting questions and discussions!

Please promote this activity!

This activity will run to mid-July, maybe the end of July, depending on how many requests there are.

If you want to work on a challenge while Ask the Maker is running, you can find currently open challenges in our sticky post. And our previous activity, Technique Waterfall, is also still open until the end of Ask the Maker.
