Skill Share Studio (formally CommUnity Arts Garage) is a community education space dedicated to creative collaboration and accessible arts and sustainability education. We have a beautiful space located in inner NE Portland where we host a variety of events from ceramics to circus skills, sewing to rainwater catchment. We are always looking for people who are interested in teaching a class or hosting a workshop- no need to be an expert - our philosophy is that everyone has something to teach and that by coming together with a shared purpose we all learn! More information including our calendar at www.skillsharestudio.org.

We are happy to announce new summer Open Studios! On Tuesday evenings 7-9pm, and Wednesdays and Thursdays 1-3pm we will be opening our doors for you to come and make use of our space and tools. As always we have our pottery wheel and lots of ceramic tools, and we will also be putting to work our sewing machines, collage materials and all kinds of other creative implements. Come on by and share in the fun!

On July 5th from 3-5 we will be hosting a figure drawing group where participants take turns modeling; nudity is encouraged but not required. This is a body-positive group that is founded on the common love of art and diversity. Special attention is given to insure that this is a safe and supportive environment. This is an RSVP-only event.

We request a donation of $5-$10 per person for our open studios and other events. This goes to support the space and our goals of providing accessible education and creative collaboration opportunities. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Work trade opportunities are available and we are looking for volunteers to host open studios. Get in touch if you can help!

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
