embroidery to button-making to fiber text and many other contemporary
twists on classic crafts. In addition to do-it-yourself workshops,
the Salon will offer a selection of craft beers, hand-decorated snacks
and live DJ. The DIY Salon is a free event, open to the public with
all materials provided. Guided tour of Pricked: Extreme Embroidery

others, who will each provide instruction for the beginner to the
advanced creator. DJ Brett Webb will spin all night and Elaine Cohen
of the Cupcake Caboose will serve up artistic treats!
