Absolutely. Creativity isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. Whether you haven’t held a paintbrush since childhood or you’ve got a half-finished masterpiece under your bed, our studio is a judgment-free space to explore, play, and unwind. No expectations. Just expression.

Open Studio is a self-guided creative time in our shared maker space. It’s like a gym for your imagination—bring your own project or start something new using our shared tools and supplies. No instruction, just inspiration.

Drop-in Rate: $30 for a 2-hour session
Includes: Workspace + access to shared supplies like paints, pens, brushes, stamps, carving tools, and more.

After subscribing to a membership, you’ll be able to book your Open Studio sessions through our online calendar. Sessions can also be booked via walk-in, if space is available.

Memberships renew monthly and include a set number of session credits based on your selected tier.
Please note: You may roll over unused credits once every 30 days, so use them up and enjoy your creative time!

For drop-in guests, simply reserve your spot online or stop by for a walk-in session (availability not guaranteed).

When You Arrive
- Welcome! Come on in—my name is Nichole, and I’m here to make sure you feel at home. Let me know your name, and I’ll give you a quick tour of the space.
- Help yourself to a sparkling water or a cozy cup of tea.
- Settle in at your station, take a deep breath, and enjoy the calm.

To Start
- We invite everyone to create a name tag—it’s your warm-up and a fun way to explore the supplies.
- This is your time: no rules, no pressure. Use what calls to you and go at your own pace.

During Your Session
- Paint, draw, collage, carve, stitch—follow your creative spark.
- Need a prompt? Check the chalkboard wall or our Instagram @keppelandkismet for inspiration.
- If you’re in the mood to connect, feel free to join in our optional discussion question of the day—it's a simple, light-hearted way to share space and stories.

Before You Go
- We start the cleanup about 10 minutes before your session ends.
- Please tidy your area and return supplies where you found them.
- Give your workspace a quick wipe-down using the spray and cloth provided.
- Take your creations with you—unless you’re planning to gift them to the studio cats (we're mostly kidding... mostly).
- Don’t forget to book your next session—we’d love to see you again.

Nope! These sessions are self-directed. That means you're free to follow your own creative impulses without a teacher. Of course, our team is nearby if you need help finding supplies or settling in.

Nope. We keep it wholesome around here. Open Studio is a dry space built around creativity, community, and mental wellness. Art, tea, and good vibes only.
