Come out to show your support of these innovative artists\, while also highlighting the necessity to combat issues that contribute to global waste. \nThanks to our sponsors at Otto Distilling located in South Philadelphia\, and Jackie Nevin our resident cocktail specialist\, we will have a complimentary rum mixed drink available. Arrive early to be sure you get one of these tasty treats! \nHaven and Cassie will have their free button making stations setup along with magazines\, paper and paint markers to make the buttons of your dreams! \nWe will be welcome a one night pop up by Christina is a self-taught designer just getting started with her first brand: The Death of Me. Her work is interested in all things beautiful with a strong responsibility to community\, sustainability\, and looking good to feel good. The tops featured in this show were made using reclaimed materials and a slow fashion approach with the goal of creating one of kind pieces that (hopefully) scratch some of the itches living in our brains. \nA statement from the curators :  \nGarbage Patch (2024)  \nA collaboration between The Craft Coven & STITCH AND DESTROY; The title of this exhibition references The Great Pacific GarbagePatch; a floating plastic pollution island\, which has been concentrated via ocean currents\, in the Pacific ocean between California and Hawaii. This tragic show of human refuse is a growing mass currently larger than the size of Texas.  \nWith a nod to this floating man made island\, this group exhibition showcases work reflecting on the theme of upcycling and recycling. The showcase includes pieces from 14 local Philadelphia artists who are using reclaimed materials in their work.
