Vancouver Events Calendar

We`ve got a couple upcoming events on our radar that we want to share!

First up – Laura Bucci is having a mini art button making workshop with several dates throughout the month of July for both kids and adults alike. You`ll be making personalized button pins or magnets (great gift idea!) and Laura will be sharing fun ideas using different materials and techniques such as paper collage, rubber stamping and working with fabric. Click here for all the details.

Next up – the very popular Vancouver Modern Quilter`s Guild is having their second meeting at the Spool of Thread Sewing Lounge, Thursday, July 15th. Be sure to stop by, show off your quilts and meet with other members to share your ideas for future quilting guild events. Photos of the last event are courtesy of Sonja Callaghan.

Hope your weekend`s great and you`ve got some fun plans to avoid the heat

Here at Handmade Evolution it’s important to us to feature local artists and events when we can (from the 3 cities where we have writers – Portland, Toronto, and Vancouver) as well as creators who go that extra mile to create goods that are eco-friendly. I was very pleased this last week when a friend recommended the work of talented Vancouver local, Laura Bucci, to me. Her work is playful yet functional, eco-friendly, and available on Etsy as well as at many stores throughout the Lower Mainland and in the US too. For more on Laura, visit her website here.
