Every Monday night, Etsy Labs in Brooklyn offers a free craft workshop that includes all the necessary materials, space and instruction to complete a small project.
These workshops are not specifically intended for kids, but if your child is old enough not to be a danger to themselves or others they will be welcomed. We went this summer (adult + 6.5 year old) and felt more than welcomed. There is no baby or childproofing and lots of potentially dangerous equipment like irons and scissors so I’d advise against anyone younger than 6.
This week the project is to make simple books. Details:
“For our Monday, September 8 craft night, we will be making instant books! This instant satisfaction way of making simple books is a fun way to make your own books and zines out of a humble sheet of paper or scrap of fabric. Make a zine, write a letter, compose a short story, create a one-week dayplanner… Please bring any papers and collage materials that you would like to transform into a book. If you have a bone folder, bring that along too. All other tools and supplies will be provided by the Etsy Labs.”
