Join MAD in the Open Studios for a night of hands-on art making, music, food, and drink in celebration of the Museum’s current exhibition Slash: Paper Under the Knife. Local do-it-yourself artists will demonstrate their personal skills and help guide you in creating your own paper-based projects. Techniques will range from book-making to jewelry-making, among other cut paper projects. In addition to do-it-yourself workshops, the DIY Salon will include drinks, snacks, and a live DJ. Guided tours of Slashwill be available. Over 200 people did-it-themselves at this event last year, so don’t miss out this time around!
Guest artists inlcude:
Esther K. Smith, book artist and co-founder of Purgatory Pie Press. Make your own instant book. . .

While the Etsy Labs move to their new home in Dumbo, we’ll be enjoying the great outdoors, or at least as green as it gets in Brooklyn. Bring your snacks and drinks, a blanket, your craft projects, and your folks for an outdoor frolic. Here’s a map, and some directions. Look for us in the center of the park near the monument.
If it rains, we’ll cancel & see you next time!
Can’t wait to see you there! Comment below with questions.
