This past Friday May 3rd was "First Friday" in Bethlehem PA, a community
celebration that is held on the first Friday night of the month, every month - when
shops and restaurants open their doors and loads of people fill the streets to take part
in all types of festivities. The hub of First Friday is in the Banana Factory, which is
where my new art studio is located (as well as the studios of over 25 of the other
resident artists of the Banana Factory.) On First Friday inside the Banana Factory all
of the resident artists are "in the house" and open the doors to their studios and
welcome the public to come on in and see all the exciting things that are going on,
view their artwork and current works in progress, as well as purchase art. There are
also glass blowing demonstrations and all other types of festivities.
I worked like crazy to get my new studio furnished and in order in time to greet the crowds! Here is a little sneak peek at what I've been up to!
These photos show only one side of my studio - I will show more next time!
I still have lots to do - I plan on installing a pegboard on the wall above the work
table in the corner to hold many of my tools and goodies. Some things can't be
rushed though, and I really like to do a good job at whatever I am working on, so it
will take me a little time until it is just right!
What do you think?
I hope you have a great week
Love, Laura
