Handmade Detroit

Clearly, you’ll be spending a majority of your Saturday at the Detroit Urban Craft Fair (Why wouldn’t you?! We’re a choice pick over at the Metro Times!). Clearly. But if you find yourself with some extra time, here’s some other stuff going on in the city to complete your day of Detroit:

p.s. DUCF runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday.

I’m here for work, but I had no idea that this female-based blogging conference would have a crafting component to it! How excited was I today to have lunch with Natalie from CRAFT, Kristin […]

DUCF’s Official After Party starts at 8 p.m. @ the Magic Stick. You don’t even have to leave the building to help us celebrate.
Stick (whoa, no pun intended there) around after the last craft is sold for the debut of Jason Stollsteimer’s new venture, Jason and the Hounds Below and Stephanie’s favorite local band, Wildcatting. […]

We’ve got a whole box full of this awesome book (I already want to get my own copy and try out the bedside pocket project) for the DUCF benefit raffle* courtesy of our friends at Chronicle Books. Will you be lucky enough to get one?
*Proceeds will help set up a DIY project grant for […]
