Our studio



We are located in Sugarhouse Studios. The entrance is relatively inconspicous; a blue door with a mirror sign that reads "SUGARHOUSE STUDIOS". It is an old college gym. Our space "floats" atop the school's swimming pool. You could say we're in the deep end :)

We'd love to have you over for a cup of coffee and a chat. Also more than happy to visit you. Get in touch.
