Our Story

We're a small art studio in the heart of Astoria, NY, run by an enthusiast who loves working with her hands. We believe we need the knowledge our ancestors had — the kind that comes from making things yourself. We have materials for jewelry, coasters, candles, paintings, small bags, and whatever else we can create with our own hands.
Most importantly, we have wonderful artists in the studio who share that idea. They bring their own skills, expertise, and artistic vision, and they teach their craft so anyone can learn, create, and connect through making things by hand.

Paint and Sip, Nature Landscapes
