Our Space
|
We are a Collaborative Artist collective that has private studio spaces with collaborative shared maker spaces. We want to encourage builders and artists to utilize the space to launch their own creative endeavors and become ENTREPRENEURS.
We are in our beginning phases of development and organization. We have a core group of artists and organizations participating to build and create the space. It is a space developed and run by artists. Our mission is to have a creative space while being inspirational and multi functional. Having space to gather, is a cornerstone of community and individual development. We aim to bring creativity and vocational shop skills together to engage a new form and way of tool, skill sharing and collaboration. |
A Center for the birth of new ideas. The Seed House is the creation of a Maker Space where residents and visitors can go to work with one another through art and expression to create a neighborhood of strength and identity. Starting with individuals, we focus on nourishing those seeds of creativity within, activating the heart and learning from one another. A shared work/play environment to utilize space and tools to fulfill your creative needs. Sometimes you just want a place where you can go and build something, a place to pitch your concepts for a business, a project or invention. The Seed House functions to nourish the mind and imagination, just like your local gym does for the body and strength. A membership based community of local artisans, professionals and beginners experimenting with materials. We see every town being able to start a Maker Space and Seed House Concept in their community.
The Seed House will incorporate:

History

The Eagle Wagon Works, built in 1871, 3 story brick building on the right. Built by William Haber, a blacksmith and wagon builder on Pine St. in Tamaqua. This photo was taken around 1910 and shows an assembly line of the first gas powered vehicles and chassis that were built inside the Wagon Works when it transitioned from building horse drawn carriages, wagons and sleighs to the first automobiles in Tamaqua. Streets were still dirt at this time - Dale Freudenberger-
