This week at PSG and POTLUCK THIS SATURDAY!

What a week its been! Insanely hot and things are getting more exciting here at PSG!

On Sunday, Jenny taught a private metalworking workshop to a couple celebrating their 10 year anniversary! Congrats guys!





Michael Hinkelman of Talking Small Biz from the Philly Daily News came by for a visit this week thanks to my Momma! (She sent him an email telling him about PSG...she's the sweetest!)

Hi Mom!
Kyle just got back from a visit to Detroit and he came bearing gifts...Jumparoonies!




Jumparoonie chic...(Yes, I love jumperoonies.)

Gabriel and Josh (and Lucy too, I think?!) kicked ass on three new studio cubbies. Just need to drywall and trim these out and they are ready to go! One of the 3 is still available if anyone is interested!

Oh yeah...and people have been in here MAKING STUFF!!!! I'm beyond excited to have people actually in here using the space. Its wonderful!

Featured Charter Members

Check Out Some of the talent Representing
 PSG by our Charter Members

Colleen Rudolf 
"I create with varied materials and processes while exploring diverse subjects from the overwhelming world around me. Intrigued by gestural, non-linguistic communication in all species, I utilize animal surrogates to discuss and reflect upon the human condition. Often therapeutic, the studio becomes an escape where I can orchestrate the sensitivity that I wish to surround me."

Jenny Lee Maas

"I investigate the subconscious realities that are offered through symbolism in dreams.  I often make work based on my dreams, because dreams are symbolic interpretations of reality. There is something both lost and born when translating these intangible realities into a physical form.  Many times I work with one concept (or dream) for a time and translate the same idea through various media.  This allows me to investigate thoroughly, as well as experimentally, in turn giving me a wider scope of perspective and understanding. "

Stephen Millner

"When a particular item or image becomes the seed of a work of art, it triggers a process of developing a visual context – a gestalt or field that represents related feelings, emotions, or life experiences.  Often, the developing work of art will put the item in a new context and expand its meaning."

Michael Konrad

"My work is inspired primarily by the built environment of the urban landscape. I am fascinated by its never-ending cycle of demolition and construction. And I am frightened by its disconnect with nature as I witness our tireless consumption of limited resources. "
