| A beautiful custom Saila Bike! |
August dawns and AFH is half-way through our intensive 7-week Summer Jobs program! Our largest group of summer employees (146!) in our 20 years have been busy! We’ve explored Islands,
made new friends, reunited with old friends,
and created some amazing pieces for clients.
We’ve also tried new things, like Zumba during our super-fun weekly Thursday LIVE: After-Hours night in the Gallery!
But it's not over yet! There are three more weeks of AFH art-making,
designing and After-Hours adventure-ing to enjoy. Next Thursday, August 9th, we welcome
two new guests to the EpiCenter: Lauren Trout, owner of Saila Bikes, a custom
frame building company, and Richard DeFrancisco, owner of Cantabrigian Mechanics, the custom fabrication company that produces Commonwealth Cycles. These two master-craftsmen will show our teens how to fix flats
and perform other vital repairs to their beloved road bikes. They will also share stories about what it’s like to own and run a bike fabrication
business in Boston, and how it feels to be responsible for creating such a cool
vehicle: from design to fabrication, to fully-functioning and expertly crafted
bicycles!
