Hi there, I work at the Powerhouse Museum and my name is Deborah Vaughan. On the 30th April and 1st May we are organising a craft event called 'Craft Punk: In the Loop'. This is the launch of a series of quarterly craft weekends which will be held throughout 2011. Our first in the series will focus on textiles: crochet, threading, knitting, embroidery, sewing, beading, lace making but with a DIY punk and twisted flavor: heavily influenced by the blogosphere and mixed with skill from crafters, guilds and masters crafters. For more info you can go to http://www.dhub.org/articles/1341 and the Powerhouse webpage for the event info and bookings at http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/whatson/craft_punk.php. Yoy can also call me on 92170104 for more info. Happy Crafting and if you do come to the event I will be there so please come up and say hello!
