Announcing the Pajama Factory! See for yourself then I’ll tell you more about my personal tour….
Of course if you can’t see the potential than this venue is not for you…..Personally I would have made all my guests drive to Williamsport just to have our wedding here! Now, I can just plead with you to let me shoot your wedding there with all that yummy natural light…pretty please?
The building(s) (there are 6 or 7) are quite amazing and alive with activity. As we walked around…there were artists working in private studios, I started to wonder “what is being created” as we walk by….sometimes getting a glimpse into a door that was cracked open……and then an artist emerges only to dash down the hall disappearing into the next maze of hallways….sort of reminds reminds me of a beehive!
Then it happened a real treat….my own personal look into the mind of a master painter. The manager put the key in the door and we walked in as if we belonged. As I started to look around noticing images from newspaper clippings, whole magazine pages and books with dogeared pages laying scattered about in a collaboration only the artist could translate. The artist only paints once a week at the PJ factory and that was not today. The unfinished painting clipped to the was on loose canvas was at least 5×5 was starting to materialize from the clippings to canvas. We were in her studio for all of 45 seconds and yet it was so profound. Upon leaving was when I felt the great privilege and weight of being able to view the inner workings of her process a rare look at a master. I felt like I was just told a secret by her and yet she did not know she told me.
The factory is transforming quickly…..
Plans for a rooftop beer garden and luxury loft apartments and already non-profits and for profits share many office spaces. Every month the PJ Factory hosts First Friday events with open studios, art for sale and special exhibits.
Don’t miss the First Friday events in downtown Williamsport also…more on that soon.
