Dec 4th, 2011 : Merry Making, A Winter Craft Event 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Tackle your holiday gift list with artistic flair and celebrate nature at the same time. Drop by the Schuylkill Center on Sunday, December 4 for Merry Making, an afternoon of sustainable shopping, craft workshops and art.
Local artists and crafters that work with eco-friendly materials and nature themes will offer unique, handmade gifts for sale. Select artists will also host kid-friendly workshops on how to make your own gifts and holiday decorations, so the kids can create while you shop.
Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, a Philadelphia-based artist cooperative, will be on hand to share their delicious, organic craft spirits and liqueurs, and we'll have hot chocolate and snacks for all.
The opening reception for Flock, SCEE's new art exhibition, will add to the afternoon's creative mix. Join us and we'll make your holiday gift giving a little more "green" and a lot more merry.
