Inside the Artscape Distillery Studios

"About our studio, we love the connection to the people that come here and that we can run workshops as well as sell our art." -- Joya Paul

"I'm fully immersed in Christmas Market madness. Trying to make work as fast as it sells -- a challenge worth taking on!!" -- Jill Cribbin, TANK Jewelry and Beads

"The best part [of my studio] is opening my kiln after firing. It is like Christmas. Sometimes you get a great surprise, but sometimes you are disappointed, and then you want to try again to make a piece perfect." -- Susan Card

"What's inspiring me right now is the possibility of being more organized again. The last couple years have been very busy. I'm working towards getting all my ducks in a row!" -- Hoi-An Tang of me hoi

"Right now, I'm feeling inspired by a recent trip to the Met Cloisters in New York City, as well as the Morgan Library's jaw-dropping exhibition of illuminated manuscripts with treasure bindings." -- Nurielle Stern

"My studio is the place that allows me to grow as an artist. It is a place to think, play and create, as well as to show, store and teach. It is a place to connect with other fellow artists, to share and exchange art info and feel the art pulse of the community." -- Bianca Guna

"I knew I wanted to be an artist when I was in grade school. I was picked to go to Saturday morning art classes for kids gifted in art. The thing is, I never felt I picked being an artist; it picked me." -- Nick Hadzis

"I've been an artist since I was four ... I planned on going to University for Fine Arts but changed my mind last minute and earned my Bachelor of Science degree instead. I became a Wildlife Biologist and tracked wild animals in the field" -- Sarah Phelps

"I did my degree in Marine Biology and it was only in my late 20s that I decided to make the jump to being an artist full-time." -- Andrew Rowat
