I wanted to share an update and some photos of our new studio space. Since the big announcement a few weeks ago, we have been working hard to get the new studio cleaned, the drywall prepped and everything masked off for painting. The studio has 20 – 30′ ceilings so this has meant a lot of hours on some really high ladders but we are now ready to paint this weekend! I’ll share after-photos with the studio’s shiny new coat of paint next week.
In the short time that we’ve had keys to the building, we have already felt welcomed and loved by the artists, fabricators and makers that are passionately at work here. The sense of community that this complex has is contagious and we’re so excited to join in. The new studio space will be launched for Santa Cruz County Open Studios Art Tour this October and we will be a part of the North County weekends for the first time! Wish us luck as we get the new space organized and we look forward to seeing you at the opening of our new studio!
