Meet the Craft an Egg 2018 crafters

On Thursday, March 22, the Carlsbad community came together for a night of crafting during local artist Bryan Snyder’s PROJECT: Craft an Egg at the New Village Arts Theatre’s Art Foundry.

100+ event attendees crafted colorful eggs throughout the evening while the Foundry provided live music, refreshments and the creative environment of 16 surrounding artist studios.

“The great thing about crafting is that you don’t need an artistic background to get creative.” project director Snyder said. “It allows everyone to participate leaving out no one.”

Each of the 135 crafted eggs will be hidden in the streets of the Carlsbad Village on Easter morning for a spontaneous egg scavenger hunt.

Egg finders will be encouraged to visit carlsbadcrawl.com once they find an egg and log their egg number in a comment, ultimately exposing a photo and location on a Village map.

“Starting in 2007, I hosted two annual craft parties and scavenger hunts each year, but it has been seven years since the last,” Snyder said. “It’s nostalgic bringing it back and seeing faces who were at the original projects which started a decade ago.”
