An Intimate ART STUDIO
COMMON PROJECT studio is small, just 300 square feet inside. Plus, outside seating and event space.
All classes and workshops are conducted beneath a magical fig tree creating a relaxed space to gather, make and connect. So, please come prepared for an outdoor environment.
We’ve thoughtfully maximized every inch of the space, and from the moment you walk in we hope you feel the heart, hustle, and creativity — and instantly inspired to make.
