Here Comes the Etsy Craft Fair

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Calling all artistic souls: Chicago's Etsy Craft Party is tonight and it's the perfect opportunity for those who like to color outside the lines (or just like to color in general.)

If you've ever wanted to be one of those people who sells one-of-a-kind homemade items, this event may be the first step. Experience doesn't matter; there will be teacher on hand to instruct budding artists as they try to make coasters, bath salts, and mail art.

It goes down at the Chicago Craft Studio from 5pm - 8pm. Refreshments will be served, and if you haven't picked up tickets yet, we suggest scouring Craigslist as they're sold out.
