Etsy Summer Tour 2009: Coming Soon!

Etsy is going on tour this summer and (hopefully) coming to a city near you. This gives them and the sites users a great way to meet and interface, forums are great (actually, I hate them) but meeting face to face for some IRL interaction can’t be beat.

Spring is here, and we’re packing up our craft show suitcases once again for another exciting season touring around the U.S. (and maybe beyond!). We’ll be hanging out at conferences, fairs and festivals, and even setting up our own meet-ups so we can chat with you this summer. Various smiling Etsy Admins will man tents, give away goodies, and listen to your Etsy stories and ideas, so if you happen to be in any of the fine cities below, please come by and introduce yourself!

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.

For those who are interested in discovering more about Michaela McMillan’s artistic journey and her eco-conscious approach to sculpture, her portfolio offers a fascinating glimpse into her ongoing commitment to sustainable, meaningful art.
