Which Craft?

The Bite:
This craft: Etsy Labs Craft Night, every Monday, where a seasoned artist (not us) shows you a DIY project like making soap or knitting socks for free. Materials and tools included, no RSVPs required - just drop in (lessons repeat throughout every 4-hour class as peeps filter in) or use the workspace for your own project of choice. Next up: glass etching, where you can revive/redesign old glass items using etching cream and utility knives (you can even BYO vintage mirror, tumblers, whatever). If you'd rather work from home (how eco of you), catch EL's live online broadcast Virtual Labs (check 2-3 days before for a supplies list). Either way, you'll help keep still-good materials outta landfills…and pick up a few bewitching new skills.
Wanna Try: 
Etsy Labs Craft Night, every Mon., 4-8 pm. Glass Etching Class, Mar. 2; 325 Gold St., Third Fl. Map It. For questions email Etsy.

Cocktail Fact

In 2005, a Dutch actress training for a role as a witch won a court case that allowed her to declare her broomsticks and spell-casting lessons as tax deductible.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters refurbish a set of four glass tumblers rather than buying new, we'll keep the weight of 4,000 black cats in drinking glasses outta landfills.
