Artiscape Workshops and Information is Now Online! ARTISCAPE

You can shop online for beautiful materials for collage, ATCs and bookbinding, or visit us at our studio shop, located in a historic carriage house in downtown Columbus. For the first time ever, snowy weather has caused us to reschedule workshops. The Valentine workshops offered on February 6 will be held a week later on February 13. You can learn more and register for Dyed, Tied and Beaded and To Dye For- Ribbon Tags and Silk on the Workshops page. The winter weather advisory has also caused us to close this Saturday, Feb. 6. Visit us next week for our normal hours- we are open Wednesday through Saturday from 11-4 p.m. DIRECTIONS

Mark your calendar for Saturday, February 20- our annual Studio Sale!
With product samples, imported papers, art supplies, scrapbook, vintage curiosities, jewelry, furniture, fixtures, racks and more. As an avid traveler and pack rat, you’ll never know just quite what you’ll find. One of our New Year’s resolutions was to simplify and organize, which meant cleaning out trunks and chests... You can benefit and find a bargain! There’ll be complimentary Dutch hot cocoa and cookies; the gallery and studio shop will be open as usual, with many new items.

Our Fall/Winter newsletter is available with the schedule of upcoming Workshops and all that's new at the studio shop (there's even a coupon!). CLICK HERE to view/download newsletter pdf (400k).
