Your Secret Admiral

Listen up parents & kids! This weekend is the Inventgenuity Festival at the Invisible Dog in Brooklyn, NY.  It will explore the theme DIS/ASSEMBLY with two days of hands-on workshops and on-going collective projects led by expert makers, unmakers and re-makers of sound, electricity, food and objects of all kinds.

I’ll be there both days leading workshops on how to make handy pouches from busted bike tubes. This is going to be a grand ol’ mad scientist beehive of activity not to be missed. But, don’t take it from me, take it from the New York Times article all about Inventgentuity!

Interested? Resister here, and come say hi this weekend.

I’m helping start this new craft group in Greenpoint. All are invited! This month’s theme is Snowy Day Skills. The first workshop is on Saturday, and we’ll be crocheting and sewing coffee cup cozies.

Where: Greenpoint Public Library, 107 Norman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

When: Sunday, January 7 & 28 from 12-2 p.m.

RSVP here.

Supplies will be provided, though bring a crochet hook & yarn if you have one!
