Bench Rental at Studio JSD

Are you tired of cluttering up your home space with piles of work? Would you like to meet with clients in a professional studio environment? Are you using too many drop-in hours at an hourly studio rate? Are you ready to establish yourself as a local studio artist? Looking to be a part of a warm collaborative environment, networking with supportive fellow artists? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you may be ready to be a Resident Artist at Studio JSD!

Being a resident artist means you have a designated bench of your own, with stool, flex-shaft, task lamp and locking storage cart. You will have access your bench space anytime during open hours. You can make work, conduct business and even sell from your space. You will have full access to studio equipment when classes are not in session and receive special discounts on tools, and classes. You can also generate new business and gain exposure with a free Resident Artist Page on the Studio JSD website, complete with links to your personal websites and online stores.
