Holiday Craft Workshop Added!

The Urban Craft Center will be hosting a special holiday craft workshop at Pehr Space(craft)!. Rumor is that they are planning some free needle or wet felting demos for us. Sounds like fun!

We should also mention that they just opened their store in Santa Monica and everyone should visit them or at least visit their site to see what their up to in the craft world http://www.theurbancraftcenter.com/ or http://www.theucc.blogspot.com/.

The Pehr Space(craft) is happening at Pehrspace in Echo Park at 325 Glendale Blvd. Los Angeles CA 9002.

View Larger Map

Pehrspace is in Historic Filipinotown 2 blocks south of Temple and 3 blocks south of Echo Park Lake. From the 101 Freeway, exit Glendale Ave. and go south on Glendale. Finding Pehrspace can be tricky if it is your first time. It is the northwest corner of the Glen Village parking lot which is between Court St. and Court St. (no, you're not seeing double, the street makes a "U" around Pehrspace). You won't see Pehrspace from the street, you'll have to come into the parking lot. There is plenty of free parking on Court St, Pizarro, and Glendale Blvd, as well as in the parking lot. The two signs you will see to the left and right of the parking lot will say "Beauty Force Salon" and "Praise Chapel".

Here is the parking lot.

Here is the sign.

The Pehrspace door is by the palm tree.

Art by Adam Hervey
Adam Hervey's conceptual collages create a hallucinogenic time warp in between sex, rock & roll, and fantasy. He crafts old Hustler pornography into a luscious unwrapped eye candy. Adam states: "It's a different way of looking at things that you thought you were used to. It skews your memories. Also for the denatured pornography, instead of you paying attention to the subjects, when you take away all of the s-e-x, it turns the tables and [models] are paying attention to you, it seems like they are all watching you, instead of you watching them. You become the focus of attention." His musical collages artfully create a vivid rock & roll wonderland so fantastical, they will induce memories of your fave mixtape masterpieces. We can't wait to see what he has stored up his sleeve for us at Pehr Space(craft)!
