DIY @ MOV Two took place on April 9th and it was a pretty great evening. First there’s the setting; the night started while the sun was going down and the city was still visible.

From MOV’s event page:

A Night of Social Crafting.

Come celebrate the creativity and community of the growing DIY craft, art and design movement in Vancouver.

Generously sponsored by OPUS, there’ll be materials and workshops in a range of art and craft media from paper to yarn. Activities are geared so that everyone can participate – from the craft newbie to seasoned creators.

The party vibe will continue with music, food and a bar. And if you’re super-proud of what you make at DIY@MOV, MOV is providing exhibit space so that your creation can be on public display in a museum. Think of the bragging rights!

$15 – Tickets available online or at the door.
