Portside Classes Are in Full Bloom at Cherry Street Pier

Spring is here, and our classes are in full bloom at Cherry Street Pier! At a time when COVID-19 restrictions are starting to ease, and it’s become safer to have small group gatherings, our kids and adult classes at our Cherry Street Pier location have become increasingly popular. With the weather warming up, the open air Pier is the perfect place to be on a Spring Saturday morning!

New class sessions will be starting during the next couple of weeks, and it is now the perfect time to enroll the whole family in our classes. That’s right, the WHOLE family! Portside offers Family Art Night every First Friday of the month for families to collaborate on an art project together, and kick off the weekend in a creative way. We also have three different classes running simultaneously on Saturday mornings ranging in all ages; An Upholstery class for adults from 12pm-5pm, our Children’s Saturday Class for kids ages 7-10 from 11:30am-1:00pm, and our Teen Portfolio Building Workshop for ages 11-17 from 11:30am-1:30pm.
We have had many family members attending different classes at the Pier simultaneously. Some children attend our Children's Saturday Class while their siblings are a few tables over in the Teen Portfolio Building Workshop. As some kids are creating masterpieces in one of our youth classes, their parents or grandparents are upstairs on the mezzanine upholstering chairs in our Beginner’s Upholstery Class. Our classes provide a creative space for families to spend a part of their weekends. 

As a few of our adult Upholstery students live in Philadelphia, many of them are coming from out of state to attend the popular class run by Instructor and Master Upholsterer John Price. As one of the only Upholstery classes in the tri-state area, the class has attracted students from a 700 mile radius! Students have come from locations including around New York City, throughout the state of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and even Charlotte, North Carolina! In addition to our Saturday Upholstery Classes, we also hold Tuesday and Thursday classes from 6pm-9pm. 
​

It is a relief to be able to resume programming after a very hard year, and a blessing to facilitate our classes at such a spacious and beautiful location in a safe manner. We hope to continue classes throughout the summer, and to expand our programming. Stay tuned for future opportunities and news about Portside at Cherry Street Pier!
