News from the Etsy Labs: 8/25 Craft Night

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. Each craft night is also broadcast live in the Treehouse room of the Virtual Labs. All demos will be shown both in the Labs in Brooklyn and in the Treehouse online.

For our Monday, August 25 craft night, we will be demonstrating glass etching. Etching is a fun way to embellish glass and mirrors. Please bring a smooth glass cup or tumbler or a mirror to etch. If you have a pair of safety goggles on hand, bring those along too. All other tools and supplies will be provided by the Etsy Labs.

 
Craft Night occurs every Monday from 4-8pm at 325 Gold Street, 3rd floor in Brooklyn, New York. Each week the Etsy Labs organize a skill-sharing project. We provide supplies, tools, space, and know-how. Participants are also welcome to bring their own projects to work on independently. Craft night is a time to make things, learn new skills, and hang out.

Are you joining us virtually for Craft Night this week? If so, and you would like to craft along with us, you'll need a couple supplies:

  • glass or mirror to etch
  • contact paper
  • Armor glass etch cream
  • foam brush
  • baking soda
  • simple design to etch
  • alternative etching resists: fabric paint, stickers, packaging tape

 

Will we see you on Monday? Let us know in the comments below!

Oh I used to etch glass all the time! So much fun! ( and awesome when your uncle owns a glass company - free panes and mirrors hehe!)
