Books

About:

The attic studio is a welcoming place for book lovers. With two adjustable height desks and a 4’x8’ work table, there is plenty of room to spread out and use our well-organized tools and resources for your next project.

To reserve the attic workspace, you must be able to navigate two flights of stairs, and due to the sloped ceiling, it is not ideal for individuals taller than 6’ 1”. If the attic space isn’t right for you, we can relocate some of the bookmaking and mixed-media tools to the first-floor digital studio upon request.
