Mr. Andy Pressman and 801a friend Kelly Burdick are organizing a new lecture series at Melville House tomorrow. Come by, it’s only 10 minutes long!

Though you may not be in Brooklyn during your lunch hour, I’m hoping you might be willing to train or bike out here for a “10 Minute Lecture” this Thursday. We’ll be doing these lectures all summer as part of an ongoing series.

This weekend: Dinosaurs

Holly — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 17:21:00 +0000

Come on down to Barometer, a jewelry and object boutique in Chinatown, and relive the days when dinosaurs ruled the earth!
Jenna and Anna are putting on a fun arts & crafts show that celebrate the myth and mystique of the dino. Also, recession-friendly free drinks and food courtesy of Whole Foods, as well as an aural tribute to Marc Bolan. I’m contributing a haphazardly-screenprinted LIMITED EDITION poster that you can buy there—further proof of the ongoing 801a recession sale!

For the past few months, Holly and I have been working on the design and development of a new website for the recently re-launched and re-designed American Craft Magazine. The new site has a lot of content from the printed magazine, online-only blog posts, book reviews, and photo essays, and a full calendar of craft related exhibitions and events which you can browse by category and location.
