Studio News

Hi Friends!

I’m going to be honest, summer is not my favorite and this one has been has been a little scary. And hot of course. It has been exciting but nerve wracking, a lot of hard work but fun and all the while fulfilling, as I complete the last steps of my entrepreneurship.

On a happier note, I’m still going! Here’s the latest:

We are nearly moved into our new office and workshop location at 16 Dreyer Ave., in Eureka, MO. Our new hours for visitors are
