SUMMARY:Craft Coven Open Studio Time
DESCRIPTION:Come out and use our crafty space to make some stuff. Use our tools or your own and come craft with other creatives.\n\n\nThe Craft Coven is now offering Open Studio time at our Cherry Street Pier studio space. We have this space\, so we want to see it getting used! Through workshop sales\, donations and volunteer artists we are able to occupy a space on the second floor of The Cherry Street Pier in studio 14. We’d love to see you come out and use our space and/or supplies to get your creative juices flowing 😀 Some sessions will be themed\, please note below schedule to be sure you are signing up for the right date! \nThe second Thursday of each month will be a collage focused open studio led by Jamie DeAngelis. Other crafts are also welcome. \nAny listed Friday will be hosted by Craft Coven CEO (Craft Experience Organizer): Cassie Jones \nGeneral Open Studios:The studio is setup with tables\, chairs\, temperature control\, and the basics of art supplies to get you going on a project if you need a little motivation. The space is also available to you if you’d like to show up with some headphones and just have a place to sit and get creative. All crafty mediums are accepted but please reach out ahead of time for anything that makes a substantial mess\, or requires special accommodations (ex. traditional clay will need access to water\, wood burning causes a lot of smoke etc.) Some of the supplies we have available all the time include: \n– paper\, scissors\, tape\, glues \n– prismacolor pencils \n– watercolor paints \n– markers \n– computer paper \n– various colors of sculpey (and the toaster oven to bake your tiny creations) \n– fabrics \n– magazines for collaging \n– 18″ standing embroidery hoop \n– sewing machine* \n– cover stitch machine* \n– white threaded serger* \n– table loom* \n– ball winder* \n– skein umbrella* \n– 2`1″ wide printing press* \n– 9×17″ paper/book press* \n*Any specialized tools should be checked out in advance. Please reserve a spot and email PhillyCraftCoven@gmail.com or DM through IG: CassiesCraftCoven with specifics of what tools you would like to use during open studio. \nWe will have an artist on site to guide you about art making processes if you need it. We will also have the supply library available\, and will accept donations during this time. \nThe Location: This event is held at The Craft Coven’s space in Cherry Street Pier. We are located in studio 14 on the second floor. Unfortunately there are no elevators to the second floor. You will need to go up a very large flight of steps to get to the second floor. The space is heated/cooled inside the pier and there are bathrooms located on site (on the first floor). There are often installations and events around the pier\, and the larger space is open from 12-8pm everyday. \nP LEASE SIGN UP IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND. In the event that there are no advance sign ups we reserve the right to cancel a session of open studio. If we decide to cancel we will remove ticket access 24 hours before the event. If no one shows up for a session by 1 hour in\, we reserve the right to close the studio early. If you plan to come and will be late please email Cassie@CassieJones.com ahead of time so that we can accommodate. \nIn an attempt to limit no shows we have added a mandatory $5 donation for all tickets\, and limited to 2 per reservation. If you attend open studio you can request a refund and we will send the $5 back to you as a credit towards any of our future events\, or know that your donation goes directly to supporting the Coven in keeping a physical space at Cherry Street Pier. \nThis event is for mostly self guided adults/artists to use our space.
