SLUG Magazine today announced Yudu ™ by Provo Craft as the Presenting Sponsor for Craft Lake City, an upcoming alternative arts and crafts festival August 8, 2009. Other sponsors include The Beehive Bazaar, Catalyst Magazine, City Weekly, Drench, Este Pizza, Illusial Studios, KRCL 90.9 FM, KUER 90.1 FM, Planned Parenthood, Q Salt Lake, Sage’s Café, UtahFM.org, XMission and VIVACE. “We would like to thank our sponsors for helping to make our do-it-yourself (DIY), alternative craft festival possible,” says Angela Brown, SLUG Magazine Editor. “Yudu is a great fit for our event, because the product helps to unleash personal creativity.” “We are pleased to support local DIY and crafters as part of Craft Lake City,” said Mike Wigton, General Brand Manager, Provo Craft. “Provo Craft is continually looking for ways to help customers better express their creativity and add the personal touch they are looking for in their projects.” The Yudu is a revolutionary personal screen-printing system that enables users to unsilence themselves. With Yudu, crafters can transfer their favorite designs from personal hand drawn art and other customized art. With access to a computer and an ink-jet printer, crafters can use the personal screen printer to create and print their own designs on clothing as well as home décor, art prints, posters, cards, and schoolwork. Craft Lake City is an outdoor alternative arts festival that will showcase over 80 vendors specializing in handmade goods such as: silk screened posters, progressive crafts, DIY designs, reconstructed clothing, knitted items, jewelry, letter-pressed books and more. It will be held for the first time on Saturday, August 8, 2009 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake City. The event is free and open to the public. Craft Lake City is modeled after national alternative craft festivals like the Renegade Craft Fair and the Bazaar Bizarre. More information is available at www.craftlakecity.com.
