This past Friday I had the pleasure of taking my students to Philadelphia for a day trip! We went to the Globe Dye Works warehouse nestled in the industrial part of the city. We learned about the history of the building and the renewed vision for the space.
We spent the day meeting with artists, bakers, entrepreneurs, coffee roasters and ice cream makers!
Seeing the industrial spaces reconstructed into work areas and studios was inspiring!
We even found American painter John Moore in his studio working on a painting inspired by the warehouse itself!
It is truly where art meets industry. Fraught with creativity, collaboration and makers' visions this is an up and coming location not to be missed!
The best part was watching the students drink in all the information and document the surroundings.
**It was lovely to spend a day with students that I have had the pleasure of teaching for four years!
