Mixed-Media

Bookmaking, Collage, Fiber Arts & More

About:

The mixed-media workspace is housed in the coziest and dreamiest place in the house—the attic. With two adjustable height desks and a 4’x8’ work table, there is plenty of room to spread out. This private studio even has a cozy daybed for reading or resting. 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 you are too tall or unable to navigate the stairs, we can relocate some of the bookmaking and mixed-media tools to the first-floor digital studio upon request.
