Our studio is a shop and a workshop, a book store and a classroom. Its understandable that once in a while we need to better explain what we do and how we do it.

Here's a little more about "Open Studio" the best way to use our studio and shop when you visit.

OPEN STUDIO

We offer "Open Studio" to local or visiting clients, during the hours listed below, show up with your kiddo and take a seat at our communal table right in the middle of our storefront. Choose a project and hang out for 1 hour.

This activity is first come first serve, no need to register!

What if the table is full? No worries! We will give you a time to come back and get you set up then.
