Turn on your heart light, Vancouver. Eschew store-bought Valentine's platitudes this year and express yourself... yourself! |
Plush on Main, that delightful wee storefront featuring locally handmade wares, has a lovely workroom in back. Pop in there anytime between noon and 5PM this Saturday, February 12th, have a seat for a while, and whip up one of two Valentine's Day craft kits they'll have on hand. Make a linen heart garland from Needle and Nail, or a needle-felted heart from Blushing Lotus Designs (pictured).
Since it's a casual drop-in and not a formal class, the cost of participating is only the cost of the kit, ranging from $14.95-$19.95.
Sign up for Plush's newsletter to keep up on all their DIY or Die workshop and drop-in sessions.

Also on Saturday, and unrelated to Valentine's Day, Maker Faire Vancouver is having an open information session from 1-6PM at Vancouver Community Lab (Great Northern Way Campus). Maker Faire is like a giant two-day DIY, maker, crafter, tinkerer festival (check out this video to learn more). This is the first time one will be held in Vancouver – June 25-26th. Drop by the info session to learn more about the event, to find out about participating as a maker, and to pick up an application (they'll also be online soon).
