ETSY Craft Party
Sorry for the short notice, but if you are our FACEBOOK friend you might have already heard....WE'RE HAVING A PARTY TONIGHT and you are invited!
San Antonio Craft Party at Sew-Deluxe…Let’s make stuff!
Celebrate Etsy’s birthday with Alamo City Handmade and Sew-Deluxe on June 18th.
In May, Etsy, an internet marketplace where you can buy and sell all things handmade, launched “Etsy Craft Party”, a global initiative to energize local communities, provide an opportunity for people to make art together, and a good excuse to throw a party. Alamo City Handmade (previously Alamo City Etsy) members Brandy Garcia (B.Link) and Tara Burkholder (StellaSola) joined forces with Sew-Deluxe to organize one of the world’s top 50 parties (size of meetup.com RSVP list), earning an official ETSY party kit for the San Antonio shindig.
The party starts at 7pm and is FREE and open to guests of all ages who would like to join the craft-along. Enjoy DIY (do-it-yourself) make-n-take stations, including: Silk-Screening, Button Making, Business Card Design, a Knitting Circle, and several other exciting crafts. Most materials will be supplied free of charge, however guests are encouraged to bring a t-shirt or tote for the screen-printing station and ceramics (from the thrift store is fine) to use with the Etsy provided paints. Donations of pens, markers, fabric markers, scrap paper, glue, and thumbtacks will be gratefully accepted.
Wine has been generously donated by Alamo Draft House. Gourmet hor d’oevres made from the finest locally grown ingredients will be provided by G&G Mobile Bistro, San Antonio’s newest eclectic cuisine “taco-truck” usually parked on the banks of the San Antonio Riverwalk at 1210 E. El Mira, Wednesday through Saturday nights. Door prizes will be provided by Alamo City Handmade, Alamo Draft House Cinema, and Etsy.
Alamo City Handmade and Sew-Deluxe would like to make this event one of many in connecting the tremendous DIY talent that exists in San Antonio. Support local, support handmade!
Friday, June 18, 2010. 7pm to 10pm. At Sew-Deluxe (1132 S. Hackberry #1, San Antonio, TX 78210)
