[Bay Haven] Progress updates


Hi folks.

What a month. I've been at the studio seven days a week most weeks, and our handypeople have helped us make so much progress. We've gotten our large kiln moved over, and have assembled our wheels. Most of our private studios have occupants now, and we're starting to build a wonderful artist community.

We'll be opening so soon. I can't wait to invite you into the space to make art together, as a community.

More updates below.


Space updates

We have another bathroom
Thanks to our handypeople Jay and Susie for demolishing the platform in the sink room. And kudos to Susie for building gorgeous new stairs to the secondary bathroom. She's so competent and kind. Railings coming soon!

Wheels are assembled.

Thanks to Deb, both Karens, Aleph, Nat, and Kate (who took this picture) for unboxing and preparing our wheels. The wheels are so shiny and will never be this clean again.

More space in our kiln room

Another handyperson on our team, Lucky, has been going to town on the demolition. Lucky took down all the old and damaged shelving in our kiln room so we can replace it with something much more efficient and usable.

And there's so much more.

These updates are only a small part of what's been happening at Bay Haven to prepare the space. More updates, photos, and gratitudes are coming soon.

But most importantly, YOU are the reason we're doing this, and YOU are the most important ingredient in this community we're building together. Thank you for being part of it.

Stay centered, friends.

Hello folks. Can you believe it’s only been a month since we got our keys? From where I sit, it feels like it’s taking forever. But in reality everything's coming together at an impressive pace. Thanks to my friend and fellow artist Stephanie for that reminder. My aunt (hi Sue!) tells me it feels like a barn-raising, with the entire community coming together to build something wonderful. You are all an important part of why it's coming together so quickly and well. Read on for an artist...
