Winter Craft Swap at Mew Gallery

If you’re in the Philadelphia area, Mew Gallery, is a must-see. The gallery/shop features local crafters & artists and is also the home of the Philly Etsy team. This event is also hosted by the Philadelphia Sewing Collective.

Digital Macro Photography Workshop

Building Character, in Lancaster, and Frost Imaging are hosting a workshop on macro photography. This is the kind of photography that allows you to take exceptionally detailed images of your jewerly, beads, and other small crafts. Mastering macro photography is a great way to get your pieces to stand out from the crowd! This workshop is free and open to the public!

Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet Festival

February 14-15

The Pittsburgh Craft Collective has many upcoming events but, for this weekend, they’ve tipped me off to the Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet Festival. Oh, how I wish I could go to this! There will be some huge fiber artists there as well as the opportunity to take classes and meet other knitting & crocheting enthusiasts.

Up for tomorrow, I’ll have my weekly Friday Favorites. This weekend, I’ll be featuring an interview with Melissa Frueh!

And thank you for all your well wishes – Lola and I are coming around already!
