Sweet and DELiCiOUS February Events!

We’re feeling the crafting love for February! Get ready, get ready to come on down to Craftville!

Thursday Feb. 2nd - Hillsboro Village Art Walk. 

This month we’ll be crafting with our new friends at Sweet Cece’s!

We’ll have everything you need to make PomPom Friends pins and magnets (and whatever else you might imagine with pompoms!) What a sweet way to celebrate Valentine’s with all your sweeties!

Friday Feb. 17th – ART You Chili? Come Warm Your HeARTS: Lockeland’s Night of Related Arts and Craftville 4th Grade Craft Market  

That’s right! Our months of working with the 4th grade Lockeland Design Art Club is almost at a close with their big event! Our youngest Craftvillians have been making and crafting once a week since October and will be selling their items- jewelry, accessories, imaginative creations beyond your wildest dreams!

 

Thursday Feb. 23rd - A DELiCiOUS Craft Night: Weave with Wine

We are pleased as punch to announce our partnership with TWO great endeavors!

We are having an old fashion Finger Weaving Party at the new creative facility Brick Factory to kick off their opening AND our partnership with the Deliciously Happy project!

Okay, we’re not sure it’s “old fashion”- but it’s crafting and food and wine and a chance for you to have your work featured in a major public arts project in Nashville!

Craftville will be participating as an interactive segment of the Deliciously Happy art installation at Belmont University in March coordinated by artist Lindsey Bailey. This project features the work of students from University School of Nashville, Bordeaux Elementary, and Lead Academy. In Lindsey’s effort to transform the entirety of the gallery space, she wants to cover EVERY inch with community creations- and this is where YOU come in!

We will teach you how to finger weave, provide tons and tons (and tons) of yarn! Your weaving will then be used as part of the Deliciously Happy art installation AND we will show you some other DELiSCiOUS ways to use your woven pieces (très chic scarf anyone?)! This is also a great chance to check out the Brick Factory space at Cummins Station and all they have to offer! 

Thursday Feb. 23rd @ The Brick Factory, Cummins Station

7-8pm is our Free and Family Friendly hour, because we know some serious elementary school age finger weavers that will want in on the action!

8-11pm After Bedtime Craft Party For Grown Ups- wine, horderves, and DELiCiOUS sweets provided by Alexander’s Catering.  (suggested donation of $5)

So come mix, mingle and weave your way to a fantastic night supporting Craftville, Deliciously Happy, the Brick Factory and the arts & craft community in Nashville!

What a sweet and delicious month!
