Have old photographs and postcards you have picked up at flea markets or your grandmothers house? Wonder what you're ever going to do with them? Photo Feelism, by artist Siobhan Long, explores adding embroidery and tactile elements to your photographs and other paper goods. We will have some photographs on hand, but we encourage you to get creative and bring your own as well!

Every first Thursday of the month the Museum of Craft and Folk Art on Yerba Buena Lane is proud to present CRAFT BAR with ETSY LABS.
CRAFT BAR is an innovative Museum of Craft and Folk Art public program which connects the crafting community to the museum’s educational and curatorial mission by creating a vibrant and dynamic afterhours collective crafting environment. The love of making and the desire to socialize are brought together under the MOCFA artistic programming umbrella @ CRAFT BAR.
Featuring an original, easy to follow, craft project designed to guide and encourage creativity, CRAFT BAR allows the participant to create a handmade take-away from a museum gallery setting. Activities are led by visiting artists or resident crafters, who also demonstrate the projects live online in the Virtual Labs, Etsy's online interactive classrooms, at 1pm PT the day of CRAFT BAR for those unable to attend in-person. For those who prefer less structure, there is also a Stitch and Bitch area to continue projects or start new ones.
From crocheting with recycled plastic bags to creating fabric flower brooches and hand-sewing plushie robots, there is something to engage all ages. When weather permits, a Craft Garden is opened on Yerba Buena Lane. Trumer Pils provides refreshments; Britex Fabrics provides materials; and other local food and musicians often contribute to create an event overflowing with food, drink, and socializing.
Take inspiration from the Museum Gallery and the Store while you explore the creative process @ CRAFT BAR!
