The studio is located on Main St. in the heart of Kutztown. Across from the park in the old Park Motor Co. building, we’ve set up a warm and inviting space to get cozy and creative. Check out my classes to see when my doors are open to the public or email me to set up a meeting to view the space and meet me in my happy place.
