the studio
what we offer + believe
we offer a variety of workshops, meet ups, and vendor markets - in an inclusive, kind and supportive space - we're allies for the LGBTQ+ community and proud - we support all abilities and will do our very best to make any accommodations needed.
we also believe that art is for everyone, so all workshops offered are at an accessible and beginner level - for kids and adults.
this is a no pressure, lighthearted, warm zone - we believe art first and foremost is for the artist, so the whole point is to enjoy yourself, relax, settle in, and make something in an environment that nurtures - what you make doesn't have to fit any mold, or anyone's expectation, not even your own, ok?
the studio
the studio is a small space with big heart. starting first as a sewing studio for founder, erin lane, now an open space for artists of a variety of mediums to come and share their work in the form of interactive hands-on workshops. all levels are welcome and encouraged! in the studio, we offer the following but keep in mind, we're just getting started - so there's more to come!
at the studio you'll find:
- a shop offering indie artist goods including
- photobooth free to workshop attendees
- a small back balcony/ patio that feels a little like a cozy tree fort
- lockers for storing personal items while in the studio
- utility sink, microwave, refrigerator, free Wi-Fi to members, coffee / espresso machine with a small selection of supplies
- useable art supplies, maker tools, a library of books
