Hand-Made
Mark Your Calendar for Handmade: Crafternoons!
Calling all craft-loving, library-loving readers! Please join me and my co-host Maura Madden (author of the amazing guide to crafty gatherings, Crafternoon) for a new FREE monthly series called Handmade: Crafternoons! Each day we'll focus on a different handmaking theme, and I'll post details about them here on the blog in advance of the date. What's in store for you at a Handmade: Crafternoon? Each event will include an inspiring spread of books and magazines (especially vintage books like the one pictured) from the Library's collections, a hands-on DIY project, and special crafty guests. It'll be a chance to get inspired at your Library, to hang with fellow crafty New Yorkers, and to make stuff together. Interested? Then mark your calendars! Here are the dates: Saturday, September 12, 2:00 to 4:00pm Saturday, October 10, 2:00 to 4:00pm Saturday, November 14, 2:00 to 4:00pm Saturday, December 12, 2:00 to 4:00pm These events will all take place at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building at 42nd Street & Fifth Avenue. Yes, that's the big one with the lions out front. Maura and I hope to see you there!
