If you are in the Vancouver area, Mandy and I will be signing books at the Vancouver Museum this coming Thursday, January the 21st. Come see Yarn Bombing contributor Knit Girl give a talk on craftivism as well as many other crafty-related events. From the official press release:
A Night of Social Crafting
Come celebrate the creativity and community of the growing DIY craft, art and design movement in Vancouver.
Generously sponsored by OPUS and Blim, there’ll be materials and workshops in a range of art and craft media from paper to yarn. Workshops (listed below) will begin at 8pm. There will also a mini Got Craft market, along with music, snacks and local brews.
Activities are geared so that everyone can participate – from the craft newbie to seasoned creators.
Blim: button-making and screen printing workshops
Knitgirl: Knitting and Craftivism
Kirsti Wakelin: drawing/ exquisite corpse.
If you’re super-proud of what you make at DIY@MOV, MOV is providing exhibit space so that your creation can be on public display in a museum. Think of the bragging rights!
$15 – Tickets available online or at the door.
