a place for art and inspiration
Welcome! We hope to provide something unique and different here on our website and social media. An opportunity to make art with friends near and far! Kits created by Science Loves Art, a nonprofit, and kits that we've created that provide art supplies and materials for many DIY home and garden projects.
Everything in our shop is handmade and are inspired by what is going on in the studio and greenhouse at the time. We support local artists and try to include their work as much as possible!
Shop online or schedule a time to come shop in person at the studio and greenhouse.
