Two siblings, Sally and Michael, restored a mid century warehouse in Abbotsford to create a ceramics studio, wood workshop and boutique cinema and invited anyone and everyone to share the space! Now the whole family helps out, inviting people to share in creating a creative and inclusive experience for anyone who needs 20 seconds of inspiration to fuel their day.
“We had this idea to create a place where we could do the things we like doing, and then we thought … hey, maybe other people would like some space to do something they like too…”
