emiko-o reware

I’m super excited that we’ll be doing our Accessorize with Toys Workshop for the 2nd time at SCRAP! Happening this Saturday, Aug 28 from 1-4pm at SCRAP’s main location 801 Toland St @ Newcomb (off of Bayshore). We just went last week to SCRAP to scrounge around for precious toy parts and we scored BIG, so come to the workshop and partake in our trashures!

Continuing the fun of charm bracelets, key chains, expressive name badges, and necklaces — learn how to cold connect alternative materials, whether it be riveting, grometting or wire working. We’ll help you actualize your vision. Bring personal, special  pieces from home to incorporate into your wearable projects. Read more on SCRAP’s webpage (they recently redesigned their site and it’s mighty attractive!).

Next on the workshop front: Power Hour Lunch workshop at Green Zebra, Thurs, Sept 23 from 11:30am-1:30pm. $10 fee. Drop-ins welcome. Bring a friend and spread the crafting love!

For those in the SF area, grab today’s SF Chronicle and turn to the Home and Garden section to see the interview by Nancy Davis Ko about my work and the upcoming American Craft Council show at Fort Mason this weekend! My first time selling at this national craft show, very exciting! The SFGate article is already online and there are so many  photos of my work and me in the studio, it’s fantastic!

Only a few more days to prep all the new work I’ll be bringing to the show, some of which were creatively captured by SF Chronicle photographer, Lea Suzuki. Come by this weekend and see more of what is hot off the bench. I’ll be in the Fort Mason FESTIVAL PAVILION up in the Mezzanine in the ALT CRAFT section.
WHEN: Friday, Aug 13, 10am-8pm, Sat 10am-6pm, Sun 10am-5pm.
ENTRY FEE: $12 admission for one day, $18 for 2-day pass. Come Friday after 5pm and only pay $5 (think wine bar and hands-on crafting with Etsy).

BIG NEWS–I’m going to be set up to take credit cards at the show (Visa, MC, Discover) and soon to implement on my website, thanks to ACC hooking me up with a Professional Membership and great rates with Payment Alliance. Hope to see you this weekend and look for my large pink banner…
