We're back! And we've missed you all. We're opening again for small groups starting January 16 with Covid-19 mitigation policies in place. We'll be returning to our normal hours and encourage folks to come in and work on projects, check out our art supplies and maker resources. Of course with our limited capacity, it's a good idea to message/call & up an appointment, but we have walk-in times for open studios as well!
