Etsy Labs: Potentially Awesome

Springwise reports that popular vendor site Etsy (which some have called the "eBay of crafting") is setting up Etsy Labs in Brooklyn. What does this mean for designers? The Etsy team is all about handmade goods and so will be setting up the lab as a community resource—members will be able to shop, attend classes and workshops, and use communal equipment for silkscreening and letterpress... what a great development!
