The Midtvest Maker Fest (MVMF) as an event gathered makerspaces from midtvest Danish municipalities and connected them with students and local industry. As a three-day event at Aarhus University in Herning, MVMF generated a special makers experience in a 'Maker forest' for students, local companies, entrepreneurs and tool makers. In this unique setting the event facilitated sharing and celebrating good craftsmanship with digital maker technologies.
