byebye 2010 :)

2010 was a year for growing here at etsy houston. we are still a new-ish group,
and hopefully 2011 will be full of exciting events!
our meet up site is going down for now. it is a tad too expensive to keep up with at this time.
anyone that is currently part of the group, please apply to join our group, officially, by clicking on the tab labeled "application."

upcoming events for 2011 include a member meeting towards the end of the month
[more information will be presented in the form of a facebook message :)]
and a special event open to the public:

The event occurs January 22nd, 2010 [Saturday].
Reception, 6:00 – 7:00 PM
Film Screening, 7:00 – 8:00 PM
at Lawndale Art Center, 4912 Main Street 
"Come early for the film to enjoy a beer from St. Arnold Brewing Company and make a fun paper craft with volunteers from Etsy Houston. Handmade Nation books will be for sale from Domy Books.  The screening starts at 7:00 PM and lasts an hour."
"Jenine Bressner, a glass and mixed-media artist who is featured in Handmade Nation, will be present for the film. Immediately following the screening, Bressner will give a gallery talk about her new exhibition,  Inverted Harmony: A Handmade Environment by Jenine Bressner, at Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (across the street from Lawndale Art Center). "
All information has been pulled from the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.
Please visit their website for more information and events. :)
