Last week I joined forces with Emily of The Em Dash and Mary of Block Party Handmade Boutique to host the Louisville Etsy Craft Party as part of Etsy’s global crafting celebration. Over 25 makers in Louisville came out to participate in the event and we had an amazing time.
We chose to decorate terra cotta pots as our project for the evening. Using paint, chalkboard paint, jute, and fabric, the participants were able to create beautiful outdoor art for their potted plants. Etsy also provided a fun-filled box of supplies from various Etsy sellers, plus fun “Craftivist” stickers to pass out to guests.
Check out The Em Dash for more details of the event plus the full instruction list for the many ways you can decorate your own terra cotta pots.
It was a wonderful evening and so much fun meeting new creative friends in Louisville. A big thank you to Block Party for sharing their space with us, and to everyone who came out to participate.
Emily and I are already planning for next year’s Etsy Craft Party! We hope to see you there!
