I have located my studio and classroom
in a 1890's registered
building south of downtown
Seattle, in the historic Georgetown area. This
venerable building lies sandwiched between Airport
Way South (formerly
a gravel road), and train tracks at the back. The
Rainier Beer Company
originally used this building
as Rainier Cold Storage, and it retains
impressive 18 " thick wooden beams and
supports. In the past, horses
pulled beer wagons up ramps right into the building,
through the large
loading dock doors that now enter my studio. The building
is now an art
complex with other artists, which lends itself to
very stimulating
interactions.
