Event Information
Description
Gary Rosenthal is welcoming PJ Our Way (ages 8 ½-11, with an adult) to make your own Jewish ritual artwork.
Get a fascinating tour of Gary's studio (he'll show how the glass is made!); make your own dreidel, menorah, mezuzah, candlesticks or tzedakah box; learn a bit with PJ Our Way’s own Sarah Rabin Spira; and enjoy a tasty snack. (If you are interested, but cannot make this time slot, Gary is offering other open studio times on the same date. Please note that those time sessions will not have PJ Library programming included. See https://studiosunday.eventbrite.com for other times.)
Please note that this will be Gary's only open studio Sunday before Chanukah, so this is your chance to come make a menorah, or other beautiful ritual art, and to buy finished artwork for yourselves or as gifts. All pieces will be ready by the second week of December, and can be picked up at the studio or shipped for an additional fee.
Participants arrange small pieces of glass to create a unique mosaic design. Gary and his staff then fuse the design to metal, to create a piece that is beautiful to use in your own home or to give as a gift. The process is fun, and you get to create incredible heirloom-quality Judaica, regardless of your level of artistic talent. This experience is great for multiple generations, so feel free to bring along grandparents or other relatives who are in town.
Registration is $22.50 per family. The $22.50 will be applied towards the cost of your project(s). Only register one time, even if you plan to do multiple projects and/or bring multiple kids.
When you attend the day of the event, you can choose which project(s) and how many you would like to create. The $22.50 registration is applied to your project, and if you select something that costs more than $22.50, you can pay the difference at the event. Samples of the projects you can choose listed below. There may even be more options the day of the event. (The ones you create will have the same metal frame, but the color and design of the glass mosaic will be your very own.)
Space is quite limited, so register now! Registration is non-refundable, but if you are unable to attend, you may transfer your registration to another family. Finished artwork will be ready about two weeks after the event, and you may either pick it up at the studio (during business hours) or have it shipped to you for an additional fee.
All children need to be well-supervised by their grownups. This program is recommended for ages three and older, but you may bring younger ones at your discretion. Please keep in mind that this a working glass studio.
There are other sessions being offered on the same date, so if this time doesn't work for you, there is a 12-1 PJ Library session for ages 3-8 https://pjsundaystudiochanukah.eventbrite.com
AND sessions throughout the morning for any/all ages. https://studiosunday.eventbrite.com

Organizer Gary Rosenthal
Organizer of PJ Our Way Sunday at the Studio with Gary Rosenthal (ages 8.5-11, plus a parent)
Gary Rosenthal has been sculpting in welded metals since the early 1970’s. Together with a team of talented craftspeople he creates one of the most popular and unique lines of Judaic art in the country. Combining copper, brass, and steel with brilliant fused glass, the Gary Rosenthal Collection has a contemporary style rooted in tradition. His inspiration comes from the rich history of the Jewish people which tells us it’s a blessing – a mitzvah – to make beautiful, functional, art.
Work from the collection has been presented to Presidents from Carter, to Clinton, to Obama and celebrities as varied as Bette Midler, John Travolta and Ben Stein. It has been seen worldwide in many fine galleries, private collections, and museum shops including Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery, Corning Museum of Glass, American Craft Museum, B’nai B’rith Museum, The Jewish Museum, Skirball Museum of Culture, and the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.
