Moving In and Getting to Work!

Wecome to the Studio - The First Days

The studio is in the old Hildebrandt Building, a former meat processing factory. Its an all-brick building with 18 ft ceiling, giant windows, and sealed-off meat lockers - lots of character and history. The loading dock and freight elevator up to our second floor are key.
