Meet Our Members: Knack Creative Studio
|
|
I'm Julia Hoffman, and in May 2019, I opened Knack Creative Studio located at 339 Mill Street in Danville. I started Knack, because my dream has been to craft for a living, and I thought Knack would be the perfect way to do that while helping others find their creative side. Knack is an arts and crafts studio space where children, families, and adults can come together to create and explore new techniques and materials. Here, everyone is encouraged to be creative and original. We strive to spark curiosity while having fun with our art and with the people around us. Knack offers open studio time, classes, workshops, summer camps, and adult workshops.
⠀⠀
I graduated from Tyler School of Art with a BFA in Textile Arts and went on to get my Masters Degree in Fashion Design from Drexel University. My career has focused mainly in Fashion Design, Graphic Design, and Product Design for children's clothing, toys, and toy packaging for companies like Five Below, Hartstrings, and Sophia's Doll Clothes.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
In addition to being a craftaholic, I am a mom to a 2.5 yr old boy named Asher, a wife, a pet mom to a dog and cat, I'm part of an artist collective called
Navona Handmade
, I love thrifting, and I love to spend time outside.

MOTH,(M. Lapos)
, is best known for her penetrating depictions of the human condition via paintings that seem to reach past the canvas into the soul of her subjects.
She is a native of Danville Pennsylvania and her studio is a small barn in Montour County where she has lived and worked for almost 50 years.
She is a mixed media artist whose works are held in private and public collections throughout the United States, Europe, India and Ireland. She has exhibited locally and nationally in galleries, museums and colleges. Moth's choice of pseudonym is directly related to her goals in art: expressing the unknown and the unseen and making them accessible to everyone.
The
"Inside Out" Gallery is on display from June 1 - July 31, Monday - Friday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
at The Danville Business Alliance
