August 19, 2009 Craft with Etsy at the Museum of Arts and Design with Nicole Licht of Astulabee  Craft Night at the Etsy Labs on Gold St. may be on hold until September 14 when we move to our new office, but fear not — many crafty opportunities abound! Etsy has joined forces with the Museum of Arts and Design to present a weekly series of hands-on workshops we're calling DIY Thursdays. Drop in between 6-8 p.m. each Thursday in August for some down and dirty, do-it-yourself fun in the museum's studios. The workshops are free with pay-what-you-wish admission to the museum. Click here for directions.
Join us as the series continues on Thursday, August 20 with a workshop led by the wonderful Nicole Licht of astulabee. We'll combine and explore different methods of textile collage while pushing beyond traditional techniques in a playful and experimental manner. Taking inspiration from quilt piecing and embroidery, color theory and drawing, we'll create small dimensional art objects.
Not a New Yorker? Don't worry, you can still join in on the fun by meeting us at 5:30 p.m. ET on Thursday in the Virtual Labs, Etsy's online classrooms, for a live demo of the project. Call for Artists: One of a Kind Show, Etsy Artist Pavilion  The Etsy Artist Pavilion will be a prominently featured section at both the One of a Kind Show and Sale® in Chicago and New York this December.
