This looks like a fun way to spend an afternoon and support the Union Project and East End Brewing too.

Saturday October 17 & 24 3:00PM-5:30PM – $40/person $65/couple

This workshop includes selecting a handmade stein design, funky or classic, then glazing it with high fire glazes. After we fire it for you, come back to crack open the kiln and test out your seasonal creation with a beer on us! We are partnering with East End Brewery for this event!

Crafts NAt Logo

This weekend the Pittsburgh Craft Collective is hosting Crafts N’At – a craft fair at the Union Project . Craft N’At will also include a the pick-a-prize auction benefit [gravity & grace], a contemporary opera benefiting the Parkinson’s foundation of Western PA. It is great to see that the Pgh Craft Collective is working to support the [gravity & grace] project. I first learned about gravity & grace last year and I think it is a really interesting project about living with a disability that has been holding some community workshops over the past few months and will have a performance on September 25 & 26,2009.

Auction Items include: A Gift Certificate from Pavement – one of the best shoe stores around, a membership to the Carnegie Museums, a gift basket from the East End Food Co-Op and MORE!

Here are just a few of the vendors you might want to check out

Check out the snazzy website at UnionProjectUnwrapped.com.
I also wanted to post a follow up on this event because I wanted to say thank you to the IheartPGH readers who responded to my post and twitter about donating something for the silent auction.

Looking for Auction Items for the Union Project Annual Holiday Fundraiser

Union ProjectImage via WikipediaSo today seems to be a day of blogging about business. I did some reading about business books this morning so I guess business is on the brain.

One of the places in Pittsburgh that I think is pretty special and that you have seen me write about often is the Union Project in East Liberty/Highland Park. One of the reasons to love Pittsburgh is the great neighborhoods and the sense of community that pulses through this city. The Union Project is a community center that works on a number of different levels to create and support the community around it. I honestly didn’t know that we needed a community center on the corner of Stanton and Negley Avenues, but now I am not sure what we would do with out it. In addition rehabilitating a beautiful historic structure to a functional space for a coffee shop, meeting space, office space and a great hall; the Union Project has worked to provide many resources to the community around it. I am most impressed with the Youth Barista Training Program that works to provide intensive job training for at-risk youth.

Saturday November 22, 2008 is the Union Project’s Annual Fundraiser and Auction – Unwrapped. The Union Project is looking for donations for the auction. If you are a business owner or know a business owner who would be willing to donate something – to the auction please let me know info-at-IheartPGH.com. This is a great way to support the Union Project and to get your businesses name in front of an audience of community minded people. No donation is too small, last year they combined smaller donations into some great gift baskets that were a big hit with the bidders.

Some of the groups sponsoring the event include:

This is going to be a great event, for a great cause. I hope you will consider attending on November 22.
