Crafty event: Pictoplasma Berlin!

Berlin is turning into a crafter's delight this April, with Pictoplasma, a city-wide exhibition of arts and crafts.

From April 11-15, you can see work by Crafty Crafty favorites Louise Evans (aka Felt Mistress), Gemma Correll and Atak, as well as a whole show's worth of work by Berlin-based Etsy sellers. And that barely begins to describe the cavalcade of cool stuff on display.

It's breaking my heart that I now live an ocean away from a city where I've had so many fun times - but those of you within a train or jet's reach of Berlin have got to go!

Those who make the trip can print out a free Character Walk tour plan, hitting loads of the sites where the papercutting, embroidery, comics and animation (to name a few of the art forms involved) will be on show!

Pictoplasma will soon have a live Flickr image stream on the exhibition homepage - so check back for a direct feed of mind-blowing crafty images!
