Our space

We are located on a small family farm located between Boulder and Longmont.  It is a magical place surrounded by cottonwood and willow trees, open fields, a lavender garden, an old barn, chickens, several friendly dogs and two horses – plenty of inspiration and space for creative ideas to bloom!

Our indoor space includes a ceramic studio and a painting/mixed media studio with large garage doors that are open to the outdoors. And, of course, the entire outdoors is our studio!
