View from the Roof of S Type Creative Studio

My friend/investor/landlord, one could even say creative enabler, signed the papers last Saturday on 302 Clinton Street in Defiance Ohio.  The new home of S Type Creative Studio.

This week Joel and I started cleaning out the retail space and prepping the office space for paint.  If all goes well, by the end of the weekend, the store and office will be painted and ready for new flooring.

For longer than I can remember, it has been my goal to have an integrated art studio and retail space.  A boutique-style shop that is a hybridization of all the things I love:  Home Decor, Fine Art, Photography, Cool Art Gifts, Jewelry, and if all goes well Cigars.

The building is rough but has the best “bones”.  The retail space just needs to be “rebecca-fied” as several friends have said.  The second floor hasn’t been inhabited for decades but will soon become working studios for my self and several other area artists.  The third floor, eventually, will become our home.

By the end of this August, S Type Creative will have both Office/Design space, Retail space, and studio all under one roof.  If you’re in Defiance, swing by and peek at the progress through the windows.  Otherwise, I’ll continue uploading a glimpse into the project here.

Use Art Every Day!
