We're getting super crafty with it....

...in the Craftville pop-up shop!

In addition to bringing Craft Night back we will also be teaching classes! 

Robyn will be leading a class on how to turn your empty wine bottles into outdoor lanterns. Not only is this a great upcycling project but these lanterns can transform your back yard or patio into a beautiful living space. We will supply all of the materials. There is a $10 fee for this class. For class times check out the class schedule at the end of this blog post.

 

 

 

 Emily will be teaching a class on making super adorable wine toppers out of your old corks. Why throw those corks away when you can reuse them! These wine toppers make great gifts and can add some personal flair to your wine collection. We will supply all of the materials. There will be a $5 fee for this class. For class times check out the class schedule at the end of this blog post.

Craftville's Very First Pop-Up Store!!!!!

Calling all Craftvillians:

Craftville is looking for one-of-a-kind,

handmade, vintage, re-purposed,

creative, and inspired wares to fill our store.


Many thanks to Duncan and Heather, Not Your Mother's Events, for renting Craftville the space to host our very first pop-up store. We are so excited that we can barely breath! Craftville will be set up in the store front, on the left, of this historic East Nashville building. Taking place the 2nd Saturday of every month from September thru December. Craftville will be open during the Porter Crossing Arts Market. For more info about this event click on the link or check out our last blog post.

 What will you find in Craftville's store?

~ An amazing array of items for sale from local artist, crafters and Nashville based Etsy sellers.

 

 ~ A kids DIY station. For the month of September we will be leading a tutorial on how to make these super adorable pencil toppers.

 

 ~ Adult DIY classes. We are still in the planning stages for the classes but they will be bigger and better than anything we have done to date. There will be a small fee for these classes. We will announce the class schedule sometime late next week.

 

So, How can you get your wares into the Craftville Store?
