While in Nolan Park don't forget to stop by Better Than Jam where you can find many Governors Island inspired gifts handmade by our team members.

Throughout the summer Etsy NY members will teach free workshops on Saturdays from 1-4 at Better than Jam on Governors Island in Nolan Park. The first workshop will be on June 1st taught by our very own blogger Melissa of Prairiefunk.

See you on the island,

Artistic Process: How did you learn the discipline you work in now?

in ,
"Mine's very dull for the "how" It's just learning in school.
Academy of Art College (San Francisco) for Illustration
Kensington & Chelsea College (London) for ceramics
Glasgow School of Art (Scotland) for more ceramics

My discipline (pun intended) is from working / seeing in sweatshops / manufacturing factories in Hong Kong and San Francisco. My parents are non-English speaking immigrants working in the S.F. garment district before they retired. "
