Have plans on Monday night? Well, you do now! Dust off your crafty pants and come join us for our weekly Craft Night at the Etsy Labs in Brooklyn. Craft Night occurs every Monday from 4-8pm EDT at 325 Gold Street, 3rd floor in Brooklyn, New York. Drop in anytime between 4-8pm to craft with us. Craft Night is a time to make things, learn new skills, and hang out.

This week, on Monday, March 30, we're hosting an open Craft Night, as we do on the last Monday of each month! Instead of an organized project, this week we are throwing the doors of the Etsy Labs wide open and letting you work on any project that strikes your fancy. Bring along any project to work on during this week's Craft Night: that half-finished skirt you are sewing with hopes for a warm spring day, paper you would like to bind into books, an embroidery-in-progress, a skirt you would like to alter, a jewelry project... Or, start a new project during Craft Night. The sky's the limit!

Upcoming Craft Nights:

4/6: TBA

4/13: Appliqued napkins with Heather Ross

4/20: Recycled Tyvek totes with Betz White

4/27: Open Craft Night

Argh! I would love to attend these craft nights, but alas I work til 7pm in nyc. Is there anyway to start having some take place on weekends? Rather than early evening on Mondays alone?

courtmeleon - come on out to the Church of Craft meetings! They are the first Sunday of every month at the Etsy Labs from 2pm to 6pm.

What a cool community idea in this disconnected city. I'm in Williamsburg but am usually busy on Monday nights, damn. However I might be able to make a Monday night in the summer or on Easter week. Good to also know about the Church of Craft meetings. I'll try to make one of these. :-)

OK, I am really bummed that I'm not in NY for your craft nights. Until then, I think I'll do my own craft night & see how many people I can get together. Wish me luck! We'll be thinking about you wonderful etsians!!!
