Etsy is one of those places I frequent all the time and just assumed I had written about a long time ago. I know some things got lost in my move from Blogger to WordPress, but after searching both places I’m beginning to think I’ve never written about this little Internet gem and that’s a shame (right M?)! Etsy is a giant on-line marketplace for independent designers… it has everything from hand-made bags, to t-shirts, to jewelry, to well… you name it! The site offers several ways to shop…. by color, by location, and of course, by category. There are literally thousands of pages of products on this site!
Some cool Etsy links:
The best part is, most of these items are very reasonably priced. Additionally, GenArt Pulse is reporting that starting February 1st, Etsy is opening up a “lab” in Brooklyn.
Etsy’s warehouse at 325 Gold Street will offer resources such as a silkscreen press, letterpress, sewing machines and a jewelry making station to budding artist. The warehouse will also host classes, parties and trunk shows… reason enough to hop on the subway and head down to BK.
