Studio Themes!

Today I had a suggestion from one of my awesome EtsyRain teammates, (of which there are now 790!) She mentioned that one of the local, Washington Arts Council stores that she consigns with has 60-90 day "Themes".

I LOVE the idea

and think I'm going to sit down with the calendar and make this happen!

Having the workshops, weekly art exploration groups and the Studio Store all work together sounds like fun! Of course, the popular workshops and vendor items will always be present. I may try to figure out a way to work them into the theme with a few tweaks though.

SO.
If you have a theme you would like to see, post it below :)

It's a Big Deal!

Black Door Studio has teamed up with the
Bayside Art & Farmers Market

Starting in May, the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month will be a bustling, Outdoor Market. There is a full service produce market on site, an espresso stand, live plants and lots of local artisans!

Info coming in February about how to apply for the market!

Redecorating!

Yes, it's time to add more workspace. Already.
We are crazily working away and rearranging, cleaning and redecorating!

When you come into the Studio in the new year, you'll see new vintage treasures, furniture and art & craft supplies for sale. There are new items from local Artisans, more table space to spread out and a new workshop calendar.

Pictures coming!

On with the Holiday shopping!

Punk Rock Flea Market was a great success but, alas!

As of this date, there are still 15 more shopping days until Christmas!
You can find handmade treasures, vintage goodies, odd supplies for your crafter-friends and vintage holiday decorations right here in the
Studio Store at 237 Elm St, Everett, WA 98203

Today we feature *drumroll here*

Pepo Park

The local owner and creator, Kim, makes many products. Some, I am lucky enough to have in the Studio Store and some you can pick up from her etsy shop.

My favorite Pepo Park item? The Pet Soap. It has Tea Tree oil which is a natural anti-bacterial and soothing to the skin so no more after bath, itchy puppies! At $6 a bar it's a steal! The Salve for dry winter hands knees, elbows and feet is also wonderful and a perfect size for a stocking stuffer.

Come by and shop Tuesday thru Saturday, noon to 7pm

BDS Closed on Sat, Dec 5th!

WHY?
My favorite quarterly event!

$1 admittance fee goes to LIHI (Low Income Housing Institute)
Come by and say hello! I'll be one of the "Handmade" Vendors.

Before 8pm, browse the handmade and vintage market. After 8pm, enjoy a beer or two and live music!

Why will the studio be closed this weekend?

Because of this awesome show in Seattle!Did you notice the words, "Swag Bags"? Yes, I know it's only for the 1st 50 people but that's the 1st 50 people EACH DAY!!!

Not just that! You also get to bring a piece of new or gently used winter clothing for a foster kids. There will also be a raffle to benefit the kids and 4, yes four, lucky winners will win a basket filled with full size products made by our very own Local Artisans!

Now come on down!

Meet the Mascots

This is
Sir Roy,
formerly Roy,
formerly Corduroy.


When joining us in the Studio, if you have allergies or other adverse kitty reactions, let me know and I will send them to their room! (It's the entire upstairs so not a problem).

They will also likely be upstairs during workshops as Zoey has the insatiable need to "help" with everything you may be (trying) to work on.















This is Zoey.
formerly Kitten Face,
formerly Sparkles.

It took about a dozen photos per cat to get these with the least amount of movement. As you can see, it wasn't a complete success.
