We are located in the historic neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn along the East River waterfront. Our studio is housed in a 100-year old converted rope factory with original architectural detailing, in good company among other small artisan studios - a great place to explore!
So much! There are many amazing businesses in our very same historic building. Check out Anima Mundi right around the corner for plant medicines and herbal elixirs, have a beer and throw an ax at Bury the Hatchet, build your own bouquet with Maria at the flower shop next door, or make some pottery at Wilcoxson Ceramics. Our two favorite slices are a stone’s throw away - grab the best New York slice from Paulie G’s Pizza and then walk on over to Ovenly for the most delicious chocolate-y slice of Brooklyn Blackout Cake. Karzcma on Manhattan Avenue offers delicious traditional Polish fare, best topped off with dessert from Peter Pan Donut & Pastry shop who have been serving the neighborhood for over 60 years!
The closest subway stop is the Greenpoint Avenue G station. Another option is the NYC ferry - take the East River route to the Greenpoint stop.
