Our first week as ITE Resident Fellows has been jammed pack with exciting things, only to realize we have a lot to do in such a short time!
Artist presentation was completed on the first day at The Center for Art in Wood. Your new ITE Resident Fellows for 2018 are Vivian, Jong-rye, Michael, Jack, Janine, Morgan, Sean and Cristina. To learn more about how amazing we are, click here!!
We visited nextfab where we complete safety training, eventually being upgraded to a green badge. We also made some very interesting bottle openers at NextFab, even the photojournalist resident got their hands working.

We visited the recycling plant on a very humid day, where we walked around and inspected some possible wood materials.

Some of us were recovering from a great night of karaoke jam sessions but were back in the woodshop bright and early the next morning!

A few of us attended an art show that served as a fundraiser to fund a mural of a flying bat in Philly. There were some furry friends who also attended. This is Barbie the Spider.
Quotes of the Week:
“I am about to do some sketchy stuff”
“ I just followed my interest and what I wanted to do. At some point you have to claim it [your craft], you are never going to know everything”
” Do you remember the species name for the spider? Shmantula the Tarantula “
