Studio Atmosphere
["Artistic", "Industrial", "Community"]
- ceramic training
- classes
- Diverse art offerings (metalwork, ceramics, sewing)
- Unique open-air venue for events
- Space for creative exploration and classes
- Friendly and helpful event staff
- No parking. The area is also surrounded by construction and one-way streets.
- No shade. Could be a great place for a concert on a summer night, but not ideal for an afternoon family party due to lack of shade and limited seating.
- It might benefit from a bit more landscaping or even just letting some trees and shrubs grow in to provide shade. Or maybe awnings.
Very interesting art community, offering a lot of metal work and ceramic training and classes. Has a side line of building public projects such as fencing, gates and sculpture. And a public Iron Pour event .
Great open air venue. It hosts the Bacon and Beer Fest RI which I highly recommend if you are a red blooded American.
Great place to explore your craft. The West Side Sewing Studio is a wonderful place to get your craft on.
I attended a wedding here at this wonderful occasion that was been hiding in Providence and I've never known about it. The gentleman that were the event coordinators were super friendly and answered all of our little questions. Definitely looking into some of the classes!! Very excited to find this!
We attended the "Hi-Neighbor!" Block Party two weeks ago, and I thought the space was really unique and funky. The cool industrial art installations really make the most of the spot's literal old steelyard roots. I think it could be used to better advantage, though. My complaints: 1.) No parking. The area is also surrounded by construction and one-way streets. During rush-hour, it took us 20 minutes just to drive back around the block when we missed our chance to grab street parking. 2.) No shade. I could see this being a great place for a concert on a summer night. As a location for an afternoon family party...not so much. We were roasting alive, with few places to sit except some patchy grass, and no shade in the open courtyard. It might benefit from a bit more landscaping or even just letting some trees and shrubs grow in to provide shade. Or maybe awnings?
