Pistil & Stamen Floral Workshop and Garden Party Recap

September 29, 2014 by MadeinMind 2 Comments

Thanks so much to all of the creatives who made it out to the September Made in Mind Social! With Fall just around the corner, we thought it would be a great time for an outdoor garden party, so we partnered up with fellow entrepreneurs and two of the most passionate gardeners we know, Megan McHugh and Denise Richter, owners of Pistil + Stamen.

Pistil + Stamen is a flower farm and studio that grows their own flowers and designs unique arrangements for weddings and events. When they recently announced that they will be adding flower workshops to the mix, so we just had to get a taste of what they offer. Megan and Denis hosted us in their urban garden for a fresh flower boutonniere and barrette making workshop.

The Grove Street Press Letterpress Workshop Recap

June 30, 2014 by MadeinMind 2 Comments

Grove_Street_Press_NewOrleans_008

Thanks so much for all the NOLA creatives who made it to the letterpress workshop… it was one of our most popular events to date! It wouldn’t have been nearly as successful without you bringing your enthusiasm to learn a little letterpress, ambition to make new biz connections and talking shop.

The Made In Mind Social Grove Street Press6Grove_Street_Press_NewOrleans_028

The Grove Street Press owners: cousins Kate and Anna (plus Mildred the shop Labradoodle) blew us away with not only graciously hosting us in their crush-worthy space, but also taught us a bit about letterpress.  They led us through a demo then gave everyone a chance to crank the press and leave with a print.

These two are always working on new designs for their online shop and local letterpress workshop/retail space in the CBD.  Be sure to check them out and snag yourself a print.

Are you swooning over these photographs yet?  Kaylynn Marie Photography snapped the pics for us at the event.  You’ll find her around town shooting indy, fashion forward wedding photographs.

Ashlee Arceneaux, also known as Small Chalk, is a local lettering artist, illustrator and sign maker for hire.  Ashlee’s work has quickly become a staple at our events because her signage adds just enough info with a creative touch to showcase our sponsors and what to expect from our events.

Letterpress Workshop at the Grove Street Press

June 12, 2014 by MadeinMind Leave a Comment

Cousins Kate and Anna, owners of the Grove Street Press, are inviting us into their print shop for a letterpress workshop! They will be teaching the basics of the letterpress process and giving one-on-one demos at the presses as a part of an evening of food, drink and merriment.

Come chat with other creative types, learn about letterpress, sip on sangria, grab a slice of St. Clair Wood Fired Pizza + walk away with your very own letterpress print! Kaylynn Marie will be there to photograph all of the fun!

Thursday, June 26, 2014 • 6-9 pm

Grove-Street-Promo-Square
Kate will give a brief presentation on the history of printing and their efforts to keep the historic craft alive in the 21st century, which will be followed by a brief demonstration of printing techniques. Everyone will have an up-close look at their antique machinery (including a 110 year old guillotine paper cutter!) and be able to ask Kate and Anna any questions about their process — from design, to ink-mixing, to press-oiling.
Each guest will then take a turn at either the 70 year-old, Chandler & Price platen press, or the rare Vandercook SP-15 to learn its mechanics and print a souvenir to take home!

You’re invited to Etsy Craft Party 2014: Recapture. We want to bring new meaning to your photographs!

Etsy-Craft-Party-Square-Final

Etsy Craft Party is a one-day celebration of meeting and making. This year’s theme focuses on transforming photographs into display-worthy works of art using a variety of craft supplies and creative techniques.

GET TICKETS HERE

Come out for a fun night of crafting and meet some new people! Hosted by Ciera Design Studio, Kristy Oustalet  and The Made In Mind Social. We provide the supplies, you bring the photos!

In our digital world, physical photographs have become a thing of the past—hiding out in drawers, closed albums and dusty frames. At this year’s Craft Party, we’ll transform your photographs into display-worthy works of art using a variety of craft supplies and creative techniques.

Don’t forget to bring a photo or postcard of your choice!

If you don’t want to use the original photograph, you can:
· Bring a photocopy. Printing photographs onto cardstock can provide a stronger medium for embroidery.
· Print the photograph on fabric. Spoonflower lets you easily upload an image to be printed on fabric.
· Transfer an image onto another surface. Printing a photo onto cardboard, wood, or even clothing provides a unique canvas. How you want to express this year’s theme at your party is up to you!

Thanks to our sponsors and hosts!

April Photo Walk Recap

April 22, 2014 by MadeinMind Leave a Comment

The weather could not have been more perfect for our intameet photo walk on Saturday. It was SO gorgeous! The group met up at Tivoli and Lee for mimosas and then got to walking! Printflow printed the postcards that Ciera Design created for us so we could remember our hashtags and the path. We all chatted and snapped photos together as we walked around the Warehouse District. Along the route, we stopped by the Before I Die wall, then HARO for some amazing sweets and coffee and ended at Bellocq for a few cocktails, yummy cheese and great conversation! It was an awesome day and we definitely want to plan another photo walk soon! To see everyone’s photos and perspective of the day check out #madeinmindinstameet and #instameetnola on Insagram. If you attended, don’t forget to order your Sticky9 magnets!
