Upping the Stakes on the Spodee N' Sculpture Giveaway!

In order to get a little more action going on the Spodee N' Sculpture Giveaway, I'm throwing in a Baby Bunny in a Crow Mask sculpture to one of the prize packages and extending the deadline until midnight tonight! We'll announce a winner on Monday! All you have to do is visit spodeewine.com/recipes and leave a comment on the original Giveaway blog post about which drink/recipe you think will be your favorite. Easy, right? (There's even a cream puff recipe for the non drinkers...just sayin')

It started at a young age... by Darla Jackson

This will make a great gift for mom (if she's the weird sculpture lovin', wine and moonshine sippin' type gal who wants to try her hand at making things...) or maybe you can just keep it all for yourself... :) Either way, enter today, before midnight and remember that you get extra votes for sharing the link on Twitter and FB! Yay!

Spodee Giveaway!

To celebrate the upcoming launch of Spodee, we are doing a PSG/Spodee Giveaway!

You haven't heard of Spodee yet?! It's ok, it doesn't hit shelves until next week, but to tide you over until then we have a bit more info...

From spodeewine.com: Spodee was a Depression era hooch that mixed up homemade country wines with garden herbs, spices and moonshine. The resulting brew was then put into whatever containers they happened to have lying around…hence, the milk bottle. It may not be fancy pants, but it sure is tasty!

Spodee has offered up some some 'Spodee Gear' as a giveaway, and we are throwing in some 1 week memberships to the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym! 

We have 2 prize packages to offer:

Tank top prize package includes:

Spodee stickers

A Spodee Trucker Hat

A Spodee Tank Top

A Spodee Cup

and  

A One Week Pass to the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym!

Ringer Tee prize package includes:

Spodee stickers

A Spodee Trucker Hat

A Spodee Ringer Tee

A Spodee Cup

and  

A One Week Pass to the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym! 

 

To enter, visit the Spodee Wine website's recipes section and leave a comment here on the blog about which would be your drink of choice! For extra chances to win, tweet about the @SpodeeWine / @SculptureGym giveaway or share the info on Facebook (be sure to leave a comment for each additional entry.) You have until Noon on Friday May 4th to enter. We'll announce the winners here on the blog Friday afternoon! Good luck!

Busy, busy...

 Today is a bit hectic with lots of running around and such, but I will say that we've got lots of things going on and some great things coming up!

Crates were delivered and we are going to use these bad boys to sheath the outside of the member lounge.

Also, check back tomorrow afternoon for an exciting giveaway!!

More soon...!

Hey guys! Just popping in to announce a quick giveaway! Leave a comment below with a link to your website (or another place we can see your work, like Facebook or Flickr...or if you don't make art yet, but want to, you can just say so!) and we'll choose a winner at random to win a free one week membership, including safety training course ($100 total value).

Thanks to everyone who entered. There were alot of amazing art goals and resolutions on the list!

Giveaway!

UPDATE! You have until tomorrow night at 11:59 to enter to win this sculpture in our Giveaway!

There was a giveaway that got away from us at the end of last year so we wanted to refresh everyone's memories (ours included) and extend the deadline. To enter, visit our Facebook Page by 11:59pm on Friday, January 13th and tell us your art related new year's resolution. The winner will receive a baby rabbit in a crow mask sculpture (official title is It started at a young age...)! This is one of the rewards that was given during our Kickstarter campaign and I'm still busy casting, priming, painting, packing and shipping them. The winner will most likely receive theirs sometime toward the end of January, as I'm finishing up the pieces for our fabulously wonderful and patient backers first.

 

Can you enter this giveaway if you've already received one as a backer? Yup. Can you enter this giveaway if you aren't a sculptor? Yup. Can you enter this giveaway if you are in a different city/state/country than we are? Yup/yup/nope (Sorry but this giveaway is open to US residents only)

(Tim and Josh, feel free to enter this one too!)

Friday Giveaway!

Happy Friday everyone! Today we're giving away a Philadelphia Sculpture Gym totebag (upper right corner of above photo). All you have to do is head over to our Facebook page and tell us what type of rewards you'd like to see on our Kickstarter page (which will be launched Sept 1st!!) Not familiar with Kickstarter? Head on over and check it out here for in depth details, but essentially its a website that allows individuals and groups to raise money for specific creative projects. Each donation level offers a reward (ie a $25 donation to the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym gets you, say, a 1 day pass, or a t-shirt.) so everyone who gives something will get something. The only catch is that its an all or nothing deal, so if you don't reach your goal amount, no one gets charged and no money is raised. Alot of really amazing projects meet or exceed their goals and the rewards are really amazing and often very creative! So stay tuned for more details about our Kickstarter page, but in the meantime help us out by letting us know what types of rewards you want to see on our Facebook page for a chance to win a Philadelphia Sculpture Gym totebag! You have until midnight on July 31st to enter and the winner will be chosen at random. Good luck!

And the winner is....

Josh Heake! Congrats Josh, you will have a 1 week membership to the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym waiting for you when we open!

Thanks to everyone who posted on our Facebook page...and stay tuned for more giveaways!

winner was chosen using random.org

And the winner is...

Katie VanVliet! Congratulations Katie...when we open you will have a free 1 week membership waiting for you! Thanks so much to everyone who filled out a questionnaire. Continue to check back as we will have chances to win at least once a month! (Who doesn't like winning free stuff?!)

And just because we like it...
