A doll created especially for a woman who embraces Mexican culture as her own. Her home and her memories are filled with afternoons wandering the streets of Oaxaca.

Getting to know her is a true pleasure, and creating a doll inspired by her has been a great honor.

For our June Open Studios, artists throughout Braid Studios are opening up the cupboards, shelves, storage bins, and corners of their practice that the public rarely gets to see.

Not just finished work. Materials. Experiments. Surplus supplies. Works at studio pricing. Things that have been tucked away for years. Some artists will be opening their private studios. Others will be set up in our Studio Salon market style featuring resident and returning alumni artists.

If you’ve ever wondered what really lives inside a working artist’s studio… this is the one to come to.

There’s a moment every artist knows. When the tab There’s a moment every artist knows.

When the table is finally clear enough.
When the machine is within reach.
When the light hits just right and you think…
yes, I can work here again.

@judyvillett had been reshaping her new space on the 2nd floor—small shifts, thoughtful moves—until this studio started to feel like it was working with and for her. And just like that… she’s back in “business”.

Back in the rhythm.
Back in the making.
Back in business.

This is what happens behind the scenes at Braid.
Not just studios—but spaces that evolve with the artist inside them.

(And sometimes… a little rearranging is all it takes to begin again.)

Studios, both shared and private available. Artists join Braid Studios to work within an active creative environment that encourages connection, mentorship, and the growth of their creative practice.

The new space isn’t fully settled yet.
Some walls are still waiting for art. 
Some corners are just beginning to take shape.

But that’s part of it.

Because this isn’t a finished gallery—
it’s a working studio.

And today, you get to see it as it is:
in progress, in motion, alive.

You don’t need permission to become the artist you already are. But you do need a place to do the work.

A door you can close.
A wall you can stand in front of.
A space that holds you steady while you figure it out.

Because yes—this work is solitary.
But it doesn’t have to be lonely.

At Braid Studios, artists work independently…
and still find themselves part of something larger.

A conversation in the hallway.
A shared understanding.
A community that quietly says, keep going.

If you’re an artist who has been feeling that pull—
this is your invitation to come see what that could look like. We have Studios available.
