My Project

After five years of delivering art instruction from a cart, we are going to have a space to use as an art studio next year. I'm thrilled to be creating this room from the ground up, but there are some things that we need.

We need a bookshelf to display all of my kid geared art history books and illustrated books.

This bookshelf, is low to the ground, making it accessible for even my tiniest artists. The bookshelf is also designed to allow kids to flip through books placing the emphasis on the illustrations the books.
