One of the things we love about the Etsy Labs is that it's a fun office to visit: we lure in guests and get to meet interesting people that way!  Sometime these are local Etsians who come by Monday Open Craft night, like these crafters who are interested in fiber arts. Or CubistLiterature, who is currently visiting NYC (we're doing a wee video interview with him, so stay tuned!).

Sometimes these folks are members of the press and indie media-makers. Last Monday was our usual Open Crafting Night but we had a special visitor: Jon Kalish, a radio producer for NPR. He came to the right place — and it's not just the acoustics! He's doing a series on the sounds of people making things.  We will let you know when his piece that features Etsians' audio is set to air.

Today, we hosted VenusZine for a photoshoot.  Justina Blakeney, their DIY editor, wanted to use the space as a backdrop for an article coming out in their next issue in March. We can't tell you what the article is about yet...You'll have to wait and see!

["Yeah, that looks good...Real good."]
