Stephanie Davis is an award-winning artist who lives in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. She is a member of the Philadelphia Sculpture Gym, where she works with fire and metal to create wearable art. In 2012, her dreams came true when she started the “Don’t be Such a Drag...” team for the KKSD. Since then, her team has hot glued their way to victory in the 'Best Costume' category for three years running. Claire Folkman is an artist living and working in Philadelphia, PA. She creates out of Mercer Street Studios in Fishtown, where she works on her nationally exhibited collages, comics and costumes.

KKSD Team, which is the reigning champion of the 'Best Costume' category for the past three years. We are going city-wide this year, and taking our pre-Derby workshops on the road with Philadelphia Brewing Co! We will still have three awesome workshops offered in the Kensington, Fishtown, and Port Richmond neighborhoods, and we have also added events at art galleries, bike shops, and maker spaces in West Philly, Old City, and South Philly. These workshops have a little for everyone – great for beginners or experienced Sculpture Derby teams. And the best part? Each workshop will be followed by an after-party featuring PBC beers!
