We congratulate Portside parents Leo and Amy Voloshin for their feature in Philadelphia Magazine last month! Amy and Leo are owners of two successful Philadelphia businesses; Printfresh Studio, a textile design company that creates prints for clothing and home-goods, and Voloshin, their women's clothing line. Both companies are located at Jasper Studios in Kensington, a former carpet mill from the 1800's converted into artist's studios. Jasper Studios is also owned and operated by the Voloshins and houses over 50 local artists and entrepreneurs. 
Leo and Amy are the parents of Nico, 7, and Mila, 5, both of whom attend Portside's After School Arts Program throughout the school year. The couple has been incredibly supportive of our organization since Nico began taking classes here. They have made contributions to Portside which have helped our non-profit arts programs flourish and expand. We are very thankful to have such generous and prominent, inspirational figures in the Fishtown/Kensington community be a presence at Portside. ​

The Voloshins have their hands full with a multitude of different projects and endeavors. Amy travels to India frequently to visit with the mostly female factory owners and workers, skilled artisans who work in ethical labor conditions, who create the textiles and products for their Printfresh notebook line and clothing. The couple founded Fishtown Flea as well as participate in the event, and recently opened up a Voloshin clothing-line show room at Jasper Studios. In addition, they opened up Paper Box Studios a number of years ago, another successful and bustling making space for artists and creatives. They always continue to be influencial and supportive individuals in the community, and Portside supports everything that they do!
