The Gallery Suite
This executive suite has been styled to be a gallery for the visual arts and many of the pieces are for sale.
The views are among the best Nelson has to offer! This suite is minutes from hundreds of mountain bike trails or easy walks along the rails to trails. Enjoy a Bbq dinner while relaxing outside in Adirondack chairs while taking a break from your artwork in the studio.

Diane tailors the days to encompass all the skills you’d like to work on and gives you the techniques to produce beautiful pottery in a fun and welcoming environment. eARTh Studios is a beautiful studio and very clean and organized.
