► ► ► What are the Etsy Labs? ► ► ►

The Etsy Labs is the hands-on heart of Etsy's office in Dumbo, Brooklyn, dedicated to inspiring and fostering creative learning, sharing, and community.

► ► ► May I visit the Etsy Labs? ► ► ►

Yes! The Labs are open to the public for our free weekly Craft Nights, a monthly Church of Craft meeting, and occasional special events. Details about Craft Night can be found below. The Etsy Labs are located at 55 Washington St, Suite 512, Brooklyn, NY 11201.

The Church of Craft also hosts a monthly craft time here at our space on the first Sunday of each month (2-6pm), similar to open Craft Night.

Also, we have a collaborative class program at 3rd Ward in Bushwick, Brooklyn called "Etsy at 3rd Ward," which features an array of hands-on craft classes. More details here: http://www.3rdward.com/3rdwardclasses/category/craft-etsy-at-3rd-ward

► ► ► What is Craft Night? ► ► ►

Craft Night occurs every Monday at the Etsy Labs in Brooklyn. Each week we organize a skill-sharing project. We provide supplies, tools, snacks, and know-how. Participants are also welcome to bring their own project to work on. Craft night is a time to make things, learn new skills, and hang out. Details of past Craft Nights can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/title/etsy-labs-craft-night/

Don't live in Brooklyn? Fear not! Each craft night is also broadcast live into the Virtual Labs, via webcam. All demos will be shown both in the Labs in Brooklyn and in the Virtual Labs online. http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php
