Recently, we transitioned into an expansive new space. This move will transform our teaching practice! The larger area not only provides ample room for artistic exploration but also boasts better lighting, which is crucial for our students' work. Moreover, we hope the increased accessibility of this space helps more students be able to engage in the creative process at Ulna Studios.
Moving into the new space, packing and unpacking all our essential items was made easier by the great community that we have here. Jolyn’s class on Sunday helped to voluntarily move tables and easels down for us after class. The next day we had DJ, Ben, Chad, Jolyn, Lettie Jane, and myself(Cole) moving lots of items. As well as a few students such as Neal, Heather, Rachel and John helping! To every person that helped thank you so much!
It has been a pleasure this past week to hear student’s exclamations when walking around and exploring our new studio.
As we settle into our new surroundings, we can't help but feel a surge of anticipation for new experiences that lie ahead. Together with Lettie and Jolyn, I eagerly await the opportunities that this wonderful new space will offer us. Also, it takes time to settle into a new place, and like in art making we need to remember to try and enjoy the process.
Appreciate everyone in our community, and look forward to seeing everyone in the new space this year.
