My studio mate and dear friend, Kest Schwartzman, of Vagabond Metalworks, made a pretty big announcement about buying a permanent location for Vagabond Metalworks in Western Massachusetts. Although nothing has been finalized yet, I am excited for them! (And sad, too. Kest and I have been sharing space since 2015!) Ms Caitlin's School will be staying in the existing space. If the deal goes through (it looks pretty good--but one never knows), there will be some disruption of class time as we navigate moving Kest's metal shop out--likely in late August or early September. Moving a metal shop is... well, to be honest, it's something I can't even comprehend. There's SO MANY HEAVY TOOLS! And moving out of state DURING a pandemic is just... complicated. And EXPENSIVE. And time-consuming. If you have a little extra to spare to help Vagabond Metalworks transition, I'd appreciate it! What does this mean for Ms Caitlin's School? EXCELLENT QUESTION! In the short term (end of August, early September), there will be some class session cancellations to execute the move. If this impacts you, I will contact you as soon as possible. In the medium short term (mid-Septemberish), classes will resume as normal. After that, well, I'm kicking around a lot of very exciting ideas. But the transaction has not been finalized yet and I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. :) In the meantime, stay tuned, donate to Kest's GoFundMe, and stay cool! Comments are closed.
