😍 We'll have a printing space for anyone who wants to print, make a zine, or learn!

📚 We'll hold classes of all kinds!

❤️ This space is curated by and for artists, who are looking to get away from tech focused spaces. We'll have tables in the front for folks to work casually during open hours at the shop, and a dedicated creative space in the back.
