SUMMARY:FRIEDAcommunity Participatory Art Project- POMBAA
DESCRIPTION:FRIEDA and FRIEDAcommunity offer a welcoming space to people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds brought together around a curated program of activities and events focused on food\, art and culture. \nOur large-scale participatory art projects are opportunities for everyone to collaborate on installations that bring joy and wow to community members and visitors alike! \nJoin us for the reveal of Pombaa on March 1\, 2024 at 6:00 pm. \nFor almost two years\, young and old\, visitors\, guests and members\, gathered around our community table\, volunteering their time to make hundreds of pom poms from plastic shopping bags that could not otherwise be used following the long overdue plastic bag ban. \nWithout any special skills\, everyone was able to sheep in to create this collective work. The attendees followed trustfully\, the instructions provided\, even though they didn’t know exactly what the end result would be. Becoming a pompom expert might not have been the reason to join the flock at FRIEDA. But the togetherness\, fun\, and opportunity to create something big kept us coming back every week\, to make more pompoms! \nTHANK you to all the volunteers who participated and a special THANK YOU to:\nCoco\, who deserves all the credit for making this FRIEDAcommunity art project bigger and fluffier!\nMark\, for sharing his construction and engineering skills.\nDonna\, Kilahra\, Marika\, Hester\, and Suji for leading the pompom workshop for the past 18 months. \nPOMBAA\nOpening reception: Friday\, March 1st\n6:00 pm – 8:00 pm\nLocation: FRIEDA\, 320 Walnut Street\nOpen to the public\nRegistration recommended via hello@frieda.community\n* Mask recommended during this event. \n* In addition to hosting art exhibits\, FRIEDA and FRIEDAcommunity have engaged the community in previous large-scale participatory art projects: Love Pavilion by artist Ziui Chen (2019) and #BlueAsAButterly (2020-2021) made of more than 20\,000 blue butterflies cut out by hand. This butterfly project was created by Thomas Steinborn created at the onset of the pandemic\, first as a stay-at-home craft project for volunteers during the lockdown\, and later as a full-blown rebirth of our community when FRIEDA reopened to the public. These installations are evocative memories we share as a community.

Some sessions will be more guided than others. \nAny unfinished clay pieces should go home with you. We will do our best to provide you with plastic and wrap enough to walk out with your piece so you can keep it moist enough to complete it and dry it ahead of firing. Please plan ahead if you know you were looking to make something complex that you’ll want to take home and continue working on. \nThis is an ongoing workshop offering. You can come to this session\, take your piece home to finish and dry it fully\, then bring it back in the future to have it fired. Or you can complete your piece in the 2 hour session and leave it at the studio to dry and be fired for you. We will have a clay artist on site that can answer technical questions and get you started with a project idea. Suggested age is adults but ages 7+up can attend along with a paying adult. \nFebraury 7th Session: Making Clay Stamps Run by Sea: You will have the opportunity to make a custom stamp alongside a small glazed item. Your instructor will walk you through the steps of creating a stamp using found materials and simple shapes. \nFebruary 28th Session: Pinch Pots Run by Kenni: Kenni will walk you through the process of making a pinch pot if you need the inspiration. If not\, they’ll give you some clay and let you know the safety guidelines but let you make whatever your little heart desires! \nAbout your instructors:Clay artist Sea Star (pronouns: they/them and she/her) has been making sculptures with clay since they were 2 years old. The material has been a great exercise in play\, design\, and patience. Over the years\, they have harvested and processed unique clays from Maine to Tennessee to Puerto Rico. In 2022 Sea earned a BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture from MICA and currently works as a Glaze and Decoration Technician for a Philadelphia pottery manufacturer. \nCassie Jones (pronouse: She/They) is the craft coven founder and lead organizer. She has her hands in most crafts but has a great passion for anything scultping. When running open studio you can expect a concentration on non-funtional applications and decorative projects. Currently working on staff at Black Hound Clay studio Cassie has also worked many years at Painting with a Twist in Philadelphia\, run a leather brand CUSP by Cassie\, is building a line of chain stitch embroidered patches\, as well as many other ventures since graduating from The Savannah College of Art and Design in 2010. \nAbout the space:This event is located in the Starr Garden Playground rec center. When you enter the gates for the playground you will walk to the right of the building to the entrance that is facing Lombard Street. The rec center is mostly used for after school programs and kids camps but is empty in the evenings so they allow us to have adult programming. You’re welcome to bring your own water bottle or snacks\, and there will be light music and a social studio atmosphere rather than a classroom. \nOrganized by The Craft Coven\, this event is part of a community oriented series of creative enrichment projects focused on affordability for all. For more information on the group’s missions and to get involved more widely check out https://www.TheCraftCoven.org and become a Member for all the inside opportunities and classes.

SUMMARY:Fiber Supply Swap
DESCRIPTION:Fiber specific tools and supplies for free or trade!\n\n\nThis supply swap is geared towards fiber supplies and tools. \nThis is an opportunity to empty out your studio of anything that no longer serves you\, but may be useful to other makers and artists. Or maybe you’re looking to load up on new fiber materials\, this is great for that too! Everything is free to a good home. You are welcome to bring items that you would prefer to seletively trade\, but please keep those items with you throughout the event. If you expect to take things home with you please bring a reusable bag. \nAll supplies left at the end of the evening will be sorted through to use for future Craft Coven events\, then distributed out to local daycares\, schools\, and rec centers through The Supply Library Program \nSuggested fiber specific items to donate: \n– unknotted yarn balls\, skeins\, or hanks \n– unfinished projects with instructions \n– string\, yarns\, fabric\, notions \n– tools like knitting needles\, embroidery hoops\, ball winders \n– large equipment like sewing machines\, looms\, wheels \n– anything adjacent to the world of fibers is also appreciated \nThings that are NOT accepted at these swaps: \n– recyclables and reused food containers \n– knotted yarns\, untidy scraps \n– clothing\, shoes\, household items that are not craft related \nThis is a fiber based swap\, but we will have one small area for alternate items. So if you have just one or two things that are unrelated but still crafty and useable\, feel free to bring that as well! \nThis event is free to attend and to collect/ donate anything that’s up for grabs. These events are organized by volunteer only and require a dedicated team to keep them going. For that reason dollar donations are accepted and encouraged during the event (cash\, venmo\, or cashapp) or through Paypal but are completely optional. \nThe Location: This event is held at Fleisher Art Memorial\, in their sanctuary room. Because there will not be regular staffing for the day you must enter through 709 Catharine Street. There is a wheelchair lift available. If you will need that please contact Caitlin 215-922-3456.
