Studio 207 – My new creative space and upcoming classes

EDOC4900LAran Goyoaga studio in Seattle | Cannelle et Vanille

First of all, I apologize for the number of announcements this week. I suppose I am trying to get all in the information out before we all retreat to our families and cozy cocoons for the next couple of weeks.

And I am so excited to share today….

I have always dreamt of having my own creative space where I can retreat to work.

A raw space with little distractions and decorations. A peaceful corner.

When I arrived in Seattle, I made finding a studio space a priority. I searched high and low in the city until I stumbled upon studio 207 at 2315 Western Ave. I couldn’t believe it. I found it and it was there for me to take. Talk about being at the right place at the right time.

I have waited to tell you about it until I was finally moved in, but that never happens, does it? So although there is still work to be done, I wanted to share some images with you and also let you know about all the upcoming workshops and classes I will be hosting in it.
