The Art Lounge Studio

5.0 (4)
female Women-owned

Ruby and Dave are a father-daughter duo who, as artists, just wanted a space where they could be creative and leave out their projects without having to worry about spouses and housemates - thus, The Art Lounge Studio was born.
Ruby is a ceramicist mainly, but she loves crochet and collage and sewing - like all artists, a jack of all trades (master of none?) She's been teaching adults and kids for other studios and finally has a place to teach for herself (not the man).
Dave is a lino printer and photographer. He used to own a cafe that he doubled as an art gallery, but really, he just wanted a place to make and learn new things.
