SUMMARY:Sketch Like No One is Watching Book Release
DESCRIPTION:Join Molly Egan for some drawing\, drinks\, snacks\, and books to start your Friday night! Bring a copy of Sketch Like No One is Watching if you’ve already purchased or purchase one at the event. All ages are welcome and some basic art supplies will be provided. There will also be print-outs from the book available to doodle on. \nAbout the Book \nDrawing can improve your mood\, release endorphins and make you happy – but for many\, the fear of the blank page\, combined with a lack of confidence and know-how\, can be daunting. \nIn her new book\, Molly Egan encourages you to sketch like no one is watching! Once you stop caring what people think – just like when you were a child – your creativity will flow. Filled with drawing prompts and tutorials\, Molly will help you to unleash your creativity and embrace your own unique style. Build your skills by revisiting the basics\, such as shape\, perspective and pattern\, then learn how to draw from photographs and from real life\, sketching people\, nature\, buildings\, landscapes and more. \nSmall enough to put in your bag\, yet big enough to make impactful art\, this fun title will reignite your passion for being creative.

SUMMARY:HANDMADE x El Mercado Cultural
DESCRIPTION:Get your holiday shopping done early!  \nFleisher proudly presents HANDMADE\, our annual craft market inviting Philadelphia’s artists and makers to showcase and sell their work in our historic sanctuary. We welcome Cassie Renee Peña\, who will curate our list of 20+ vendors who will be dishing out their wares to those looking for unique and affordable holiday gifts. This year\, HANDMADE will be presented in collaboration with El Mercado Cultural\, a Fleisher initiative focused on sharing creative and marketing resources with Latinx entrepreneurs. \nShoppers can expect high quality handmade goods from a variety of mediums that include fabric\, clay\, glass\, wood\, paper\, and much more.  The show will highlight Fleisher teaching artists and students as well as a selection of local artists and craftsmen.  Stop by our lobby to enjoy coffee from Persimmon Coffee (@persimmoncoffee)! \nAbout the curator \nCassie Renee Peña’s work attempts to reconcile the barbarism of western civilization and its continuous attempt to ‘other’ cultures outside of a Judeo-Christian context through the exploration of iconography\, mythology\, antiquities\, Tinder\, and Jester’s Privilege. While existing in the historical context of American empire decline and the internet\, her work also operates as self-mocking diary entries regarding the complications and navigation of human existence. Utilizing non-European clay coil-building techniques to create ancient Greek forms in porcelain\, a clay body generally associated with wealth\, Peña’s work nods to the history of craft while maintaining a lack of self-serious refinement. She resides in Philadelphia\, PA. \nThis year’s vendors include: \nArtesinA: @artesinagroup \n@artesania_gustemalteca_de_ana \nGoods and Bads: @goodsandbadsstudio \nCynthia Bayer \nHerbal Jawn Apothecary: @herbaljawn \nMason Carter + Olivia Duffy: @masonfromblendini + @PortOlivia \nBy Ren: @by.ren \nUh-Huh Design Studio: @shopuhhuh \nFleisher Art Memorial Open Studio Potters \nFleisher Art Memorial Staff \nFleisher Art Memorial Teen Lounge \nLili Daliessio Designs: @lilidaliessiodesigns \nSignature Books & Accessories: @signature_books \nPejo Goshni by Maria Hernandez: @pejo_goshni \nMoonlight Arte: @moonlight_arte \nGuille \nPatrick Griffin @griffin.pottery \nCharlotte Holt Art: @charlotteholt.art \nFrances Iadarola: @francesiadarola \nV Israel Ceramics: @v_israel_ceramics \nEverywwwhere: @everywwwhere \nRachel Kedinger + Victoria Ahmadizadeh Melendez: @rkedinger + @internet___angel \nKatrina Kopeloff Illustration: @kopeloff \nWho Press’d Press: @whopressdpress \nBox Turtle Press @boxturtlepress \nKaren Kriegel: @karenkriegel \nTombino: @tombinoshop \nLuis: @mochibaybags \nReyna Navarro: @artesani_mundo_de_queen \nCharnelle Nixon: @gift.well001 \nPatricia Patzi Art: @patzi.patzi \nLeslie Richards: @leslie.richards.art \nLost Mirage: @lost.mirage \nMadeline Mae Studios: @madelinemae_studios \nMagic Needles Mari: @magic_needles_mari \nMagico Artemez: @magicoartemez \nMexico Art: @mxheartde \nOur Hope: @_ourhope \nMary Schneider: @marydotart \nJillian Schley: @jillianschley \nGabrielle Silverlight: @gabriellesilverlight \nHolly Simple: @holly_simple \nSmall Print Studio: @_jackie.small \nSpuul: @spuul215 \nJuan Tang Hon: @juandtang \nTenangos Philly: @tenangosphilly \nTrina’s Jabones \nLinda Abd Ulbaki: @creacioneslindausa \nVenbisustore: @venbisustore \nJulieta Zavala: @julietazavala \nJane Zweibel Studio: @janiejanez \n
