NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS. That’s how long it took for someone to steal this sign from my Old City studio. As a small business owner who runs my studio for the benefit of the community and FREQUENTLY runs events without profit goals-because sometimes creativity can be inaccessible- I’m pretty pissed y’all. This disgrace, the @blackhoundclay supply library bin being damaged, and the brutal destruction of the @philadelphiadrunkenknitwits yarn display with pieces made by my very good friend and creative colleague @knottynursern … We should be embarrassed of what we’re doing to the arts in this city.
So here I am asking for any help that you may want to offer to help replace this flag. I’m having another custom flag made by @humphrysflag the local Olde City flag maker, and I would appreciate any help to offset the costs of buying another flag, and the security upgrades I’ll have to add to ensure this one doesn’t get taken as well. If you’ve got $3-5 or more to spare, please send it towards my flag fund through Venmo: @cassie-jones-19 or PayPal: PayPal.me/craftcassie
I appreciate y’all, and regardless I’m looking forward to a Creative Craft Summer ahead of us; because lack of funds hasn’t ever stopped us before 🌈

Tomorrow, this Friday April 25th come join me for some snacks, drinks, and bid on the work of local artists. Money raised will go towards our local Passyunk Square Association, and directly profit the artists who have donated their work to fill this event. I'll have some ceramic mugs out for bid, and am looking forward to hopefully winning something special myself. So come by, you can buy me a beer and know your money is going to a good cause. And so is the beer :-D

Newly announced class upcoming this May. These things are super cool and my mom has been making them for years. They are pretty big when they're finished, can live outside through the summer and warm months, then inside in a bathroom or humid spot during the colder months.
This class is going to be at Cherry Street Pier in the garden area, and I may even be able to get everyone a free drink ticket if we fill the class!

Ok y'all, I'm trying to post up all the photos that I've take at events these last few months.

We have a monthly event there each third Wednesday. We'll be running another book making workshop just like this one on January 21st (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/upcycled-handmade-books-tickets-789805829497?aff=ebdsoporgprofile)at Cherry Street Poer alongside a Coven showcase of work by Jamie DeAngelis Mixed Media Mayhem.(https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mixed-media-mayem-tickets-774027014637?aff=ebdsshcopyurl&utm-campaign=s) I hope to see you out for book making!

I stopped by the Supply Library on 50th Street in West Philly by Black Hound Clay studio and BOY IS IT FULL! Posting some photos below so you can see the types and colors in there. Lots of wools, some acrylics, a lot not labeled. There seems to be some hand dyes stuff in here- really high quality fibers! I would go check it out if you're looking for yarn because that's all there is in there today :-D
I also like this lil' shroomy hidin' in here.

This past Sunday we had the please of hosting Pamela Jones from Quakertown, PA to teach us her stained glass projects. She gave everyone the choice of 3 different designs and everyone built their stained glass pieces from glass sheets all the way to oxidizing the finished work. The basics of building included choosing the glass colors, cutting the glass down to size, wrapping each piece with copper foil, burnishing the copper foil at every edge, applying flux to joins, soldering joints on both sides, applying a metal border and soldering the corners in place. WHEW! This turned into more like a 6 hour project for some of us but we all made it through and I'm so proud of everyone's results!

Check out what's good in the library today! Everything shown with the bin is what was still there as of 12:00 today. The other bags are what I put together to take to a local daycare center. Lots of brand new kids craft supplies, some scrap fabrics that have been hanging out for a while, mickey iron on transfers in a manilla bubble envelope, a bag of trims, whole buncha staples, a brand new sewing kit, 3 ring binder, composition book, a vinyl table cloth and a handful of other random bits. Stop by and check it out! I've also been trying to push any bags down underneath the shelf inside the bin. So you can reach down below to find a bag to take home your new treasures!

Also stop at the Supply Library to see what's ready for the taking. Check out these things that are in the box right now: plaster strips, mickey mouse iron ons, spirit gum, fluffy yarn with a half finished hat project, a bag full of ric rac and binding, a cozy crochet kit, graphite blenders, a notebook, and so much more!
Lastly, I'm posting a video of how you can latch the box open while you're riffling. So please take the time to latch the door and reorganize the box after you take/leave items. Thanks all, happy crafting :-D

Happening monthly on the first Thursday of every month is the South Philly Drink and Draw at Newbold Exchange. Sponsored by Philadelphia Brewing, we have 2 cases of beer to distribute to the group while supplies last. And the main attraction will be a nude model posing with short warm ups from 1-5 minutes, and building up to a few longer 10-15 minutes poses, with a 15 minute break halfway through the evening. Bring your own medium of choice, but the venue is best suited for dry or digital mediums. We will have a handful of basic paper and pencils available for anyone to use. There are some spots with table space available first come first serve, a clipboard is not a bad idea. Most of the seating is stadium style deep bench seating with lots of pillows. Real casual setting. We may even have a new light setup for this one so look forward to some high contrast visuals! I hope to see some of yous there, be sure to register online if you know you want a spot.
