Home Ec Opens In Brooklyn!
November 18, 2008 · Print This Article
Saturday, November 15, marks the official grand opening on Flirt’s work studio, round space, and retail shop filled with uncommon home finds, Home Ec. whether you head down to the space on Saturday from 12-6pm, you’ll be treated to free craft tutorials for kids and adults alike, snacks, 15% off purchases and round sign-ups, and a trapeze performance (whoa). The Flirt ladies are super great and just look how cheery that place is!
I love the notion of that space, not least of all considering I’m particularly fond of the notion of home economics, particularly in its contemporary incarnation (and one of the many reasons why I love Jean Railla’s Get Crafty: Hip Home Ec). But possibly
most importantly, I additionally love the feeling that comes from a community of society engaged in creativity together. It’s amazing what a sense of connection you can feel for the person cutting out a pattern next to you while the two of you discuss the finer points of  Rock of Love. That is, after all, what the real magic of quilting circles was all about: bringing women together under the auspice of practical creativity, when the finish outcome, of way, was so much more meaningful than a warm blanket.If you’re in the nabe, go!
