About Studio Deep Roots

Studio Deep Roots is a project that has been percolating for a long time. We have been renting and teaching out of other studios and community centers for 20 years and have learned a lot about what makes a studio--and classes and workshops within them--successful. Coming and going from "someone else's space" can feel impersonal, disconnected, and lacking in our own personal energies. Those personal energies imbued in all facets of our work are what makes those we serve feel like they have arrived someplace special, and that unique "us-ness" is missing from so many studio experiences.
 
We believe we can do it differently;
maybe even a little better.
​
We invite our instructors, practitioners, and those they host here to feel at home, to feel invested, and to feel a part of something a little bigger than we might offer individually.

It is also through these past experiences that we have come to recognize that the traditional methods of developing, advertising, and growing a boutique business don't work as effectively in the modern era. In our opinion, it is through mutual support and collaboration that the most successful entrepreneurs thrive; and it is through a heart-centered approach that we are best equipped to serve our clients, students, and community.

Seeing a need within the arts and small business communities throughout our region for a space to connect with other like-minded artists, director Shay Moore struck out to find the ideal space to build out into a hub of creativity, connection, and cross-pollination. She considers the studio an extension of her home and hearth, and invites all comers to come in, slow down, and steep in the good spirit we imbue in this space through joyful, committed work and play.
