SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: Climate Change 101
DESCRIPTION:[Profs and Pints Philadelphia](https://www.profsandpints.com/philadelphia) presents: **“Climate Change 101\,”** a crash course on the science related to directional climate change and global warming\, with Sean O’Donnell\, professor in Drexel University’s Biodiversity\, Earth and Environmental Science program. \n[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Available at [https://profs-and-pints-black-squirrel.ticketleap.com/climatescience/](https://profs-and-pints-black-squirrel.ticketleap.com/climatescience/) .] \nWe hear and read a lot about climate change and global warming\, and it has become pretty hard to ignore the Philadelphia region’s wacky weather patterns with its recent freakily warm winters\, vanishing snow\, and late spring “heat domes.” \nMany of us\, however\, don’t have much of a grasp of the science explaining such developments and can’t answer questions such as: How do we really know that the climate is changing? If so\, why? Is Philadelphia’s strange local weather part of the bigger picture? \nGain an understanding of the basic science that helps us predict and understand climate change with the help of Sean O’Donnell\, an environmental ecologist and expert in animal responses to temperature conditions. \nHe’ll talk about how the Earth compares to the moon and other planets in terms of its atmosphere’s composition and function\, and he’ll discuss what drives dynamic climates that undergo changes in their normal range of variation. \nYou’ll learn about the scientific basis for how and why we expect the climate to change and how we know human activities are driving changes. You’ll get a clear understanding of the evidence for and against climate change and a sense of the validity of various claims made by climate-change skeptics. \nDr. O’Donnell’s research is heavily focused on how various animals deal with shifts in climate conditions and extremely high or low temperatures. You’ll walk away from his talk with a clearer understanding of what we can expect to deal with down the road. ( Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Doors open at 3 pm. Talk starts at 4:30.) \nImage: Texas’s Lake Ray Hubbard after a drought. Photo by Terry Shuck / Creative Commons

SUMMARY:Clay Play Open Studio Making
DESCRIPTION:Come out and touch some clay!\n\n\nThis will be an ongoing event every other week. Future Sessions after August 28th can be found HERE \nThis is an open session clay making workshop. Each person will receive 1-2 pounds of clay per session and access to our basic tools and supplies. Pieces can be glazed with color and will be once fired and ready for pickup in 3-4 weeks. We will have limited colors available and suggest that you purchase your own Stroke and Coat glaze if you’d like consistent color and control. You’re welcome to bring any of your own tools. \nThe instructor leading your session will have a basic project that you can build if you aren’t working independantly. 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. \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.
