New Studio Space

Finally! I have some room to breathe, and one huge print table!

This past Monday, I moved down the hall to larger studio space
at 592 Johnson Ave in Bushwick.
That day and night, I built myself a bigger and better print table.

The once 2 yd table is now 5 yds long!

I have lots of room for all my crap and more.
I'm even going to build a second smaller print table.
I may start to paint again too?

But, more importantly,
this also means that I am ready to take on students
for my studio class. I have all the supplies ready and waiting.

The {NewNew} POPs up at 93 Nevins

The {NewNew}, will participate in this year's Atlantic Art Walk by highlighting artists that use environmentally-friendly materials in their creations at 93 Nevins Street - reclaimed from a building derelict for 20 years, this new townhouse was created with the idea to be as green as possible.

Art Walk is a free, self-guided tour of open artist studios and area exhibitions, a range of public art projects, special events, with local merchants hosting a range of artwork and events. Our pop-up shop will be open on both days of the Art Walk where participants in the self-guided, curated tour will get a taste of the variety of handmade items that are created in the local community.
Find green gifts made from sustainable materials such as silkscreened apparel, fine art drawings and prints, handmade ceramics, paper goods, plush toys, jewelry and housewares from shops like Cakehouse, Wabisabi Brooklyn, and KnitKnit.

As always, we try to help you shop local within the top tier of craft.

Last dress of the week...


Next weeks beginning...

New Bamboo Cotton T Dresses

This weeks dresses are made out of that really soft bamboo cotton I just got. I'm very happy with the way they turned. I had to raise the price a bit, to $50. I still think that that's pretty reasonable. I printed three colors instead of the two, that are on the older just cotton and cotton blends. I have two more fabrics printed at the studio waiting to get sewn, so check back later on the etsy site.

Also I just got a blackberry, YEAH! and if I can figure out how to set up my email, I will be able to leave them up online while I sell tomorrow at the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene.
