Today's class was filled with exploring watercolours with teachers Roanna, Barbara and Sophia! Look at these great masterpieces! Well done everyone!

Bright lights, big city! The shop is looking amazing! Nothing but blank walls and fresh flooring. Next up is the bathroom and then finish the office! Now to rearrange everything and get our artisan goods back on the shelves! We are almost there but today felt like a whole new space! Thanks to our awesome team for helping make it all happen and all the guys at @twinpeaksinc for your hard work in one weekend! #studio #gallerylife #business #businessowner #artgallery #artstudio #renovations #northvancouver #northvanlife #northvanarts #northvanartclass #northvankids #studiolife #boutiquestyle
