Announcing the Shop Crafty Partners in Craft!

When you walk in the door of  The Marchesa for Shop Crafty this April 16th, 2011 - you will be entering a Crafty Wonderland!

Our three Partners in craft will each have a table set up - showing you how to make projects offered in their studios!


Lapis Lane, a Bead Boutique, located in Westlake, is a beautiful bead shop that specializes in semi-precious and natural gemstones, Swarovski crystals, and beautiful findings.  Lapis Lane also carries unique jewelry by local artisans, and offers classes like Beading Basics, Beaded Wine Charms and The Beaded Bead - an awesome technique they'll be demonstrating for you at Shop Crafty!



Gauge, a modern knit shop located in Northwest Austin, is a hip and fun yarn shop.  They carry a wide array of yarns and patterns, have lounges where you can hang out and knit/crochet/craft, and even have a pattern library!  Every Tuesday from 6pm to 9pm Gauge hosts a Craft Night where you can hang out and meet other fiber lovers.  They'll be demonstrating some of their amazing classes for us at Shop Crafty.



Marmalade Skies, a walk-in art studio located in North Austin, is an inviting space bursting with color and crafting ideas.  Their kid's camps and birthday parties are wildly successful, as are their innovative Pinot Picasso classes for adults - wine and painting, anyone?  The Blue Room Gallery features fine craft by local artists, and the studio also sells locally made candles, soaps, jewelry and hard-to-find crafting supplies!  You'll be inspired by their demos, we're sure.



Shop Crafty is bringing the best in Austin's Craft Community to you under one roof for just ONE day!  Purchase tickets in advance to get 2 for one pricing, and remember that entry for kids 12 and under is free.  I can feel my crafty wheels spinning as I look forward to learning how to make beaded jewelry, knitwear and cool crafty projects!
