This Saturday! Potluck!

Don't forget! This Saturday is our July potluck from 5-8pm. Stop by and see the space and bring some food or drink to share! You'll also get a chance to see the casting show in PSG gallery before it comes down next week. Whoot!

Also, as a sidebar, sorry things have been so sporadic here on the blog. I have been teaching 5 days a week for the past few weeks so my already crazy life has gotten a bit crazier for now! Back to "normal" soon!

Woah...

New shelves from the ReSource Exchange!

We recently got two sets of pallet shelving from Karyn at the ReSource Exchange and we LOVE it. It got our reclaimed wood "lumber yard" up off the ground, giving us more space, which is great! Karyn also helped us score a whole set of lockers (yes!) which will be coming in this weekend (anyone wanna help move them with us!?) If you've never been over to the ReSource Exchange, you should definitely check them out. They have a huge collection of art and craft supplies, building materials, housewares and more!

Perfection...

I know as humans we are always on this quest for perfection...some more than others... And its difficult, because its so very easy to see the world and the things in it as imperfect. But sometimes, just for a moment, you see how perfect they really are, and those are the best times. I had a moment tonight while sitting out back at the Sculpture Gym...watching an amazingly beautiful sunset...and was so insanely thankful for how everything is just the way it is. It is perfect. Insane, taking longer than expected, the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, but perfect. Thank you to everyone who has helped me get to this place. I am so very grateful.

Photos from Process Show: Casting opening reception!

 

A big thanks to Jenifer Stern for taking photos at the opening of Process Show: Casting! And another big thanks to everyone who came out to see it. We've had a ton of great feedback about the work, which is fabulous. If you missed a chance to see the show and would like to, feel free to contact me at philadelphiasculpturegym[at]gmail.com and we can set up a time for you to stop by!

 

 

July Potluck/Info Session!

The Philadelphia Sculpture Gym potlucks are back! We had a 2 month hiatus because May was packed and June was over in an instant, but we're bringing it back in July. Come check out the progress on the space and meet fellow sculptors and makers of things while eating good food and drinking beer! You'll also get to see the Casting show before it comes down. Good times all around.
So save the date and we hope to see you on Saturday, July 28th! Just bring some food or drink to share! Kids are welcome so feel free to bring the whole fam (just don't have them wear anything too fancy...it still is a warehouse!)
