Paper Crafting with Kayte Terry
Guests will be able to try their hands at a bunch of crafting techniques and get to take home what they make! Below is a full list of the craft projects that we will be hosting:
Chez-sucre-chez
Learn (or practice) the basics of counted cross-stitch while making a quick and easy project that you can wear. Choose from a variety of motifs, stitch it onto fabric, and turn your small stitched masterpiece into a covered button that can be sewn onto clothing or turned into a pin. http://chezsucrechez.com/
Janell Wysock
Textile Artist and Designer Janell Wysock will demonstrate and invite participants to create their own small broach using remnants from her many processes in her daily studio practice. http://janellwysock.com/
Kayte Terry
The shift from summer to fall brings cooler nights, a crispness in the air and the turning of leaves from green to russet, red and orange. It’s a fleeting moment, one that we always wish we could hang onto for just a moment longer. Philadelphia crafter and author Kayte Terry shows you how to preserve the beauty of autumnal leaves with a mixed media project, a Falling Leaves Garland. We’ll use paper, fabric and felt to make a beautiful Autumnal garland that you can display for many years to come! http://www.thisisloveforever.
Philadelphia Sculpture Gym
The PSG Make + Take will be a plaster casting of press molded objects. Participants will be able to create small medallions by pressing forms into clay to create a negative and casting the finished piece in plaster.

After the demonstration there will be silhouettes and copper sheet provided for you to create your own piece. After sawing and sanding your copper pendant there will be letter stamps provided to use for an added personal touch.
