Hey friends! As we wrap up 2024 and embark on 2025, I want to share with you a project I’ve been working on for the last 2+ years:
At the encouragement of the generous and talented I decided to get into and practice hand-poke/machine-free tattooing at the end of 2022. That evolved from practicing on fake skin to real people to me opening my own studio in Mechanicville this past fall.
While The Grey Birch Studio isn’t gone by any means, it will just be that I will be participating in fewer markets as my “free time” (large quotations there as my full time gig is a high school art teacher and unionist). You can of course still shop The Grey Birch Studio handmade at and The Grey Birch Studio vintage pieces !
I figured today, my birthday, was a great day to share this with you all! As a child-free millennial, starting a new venture is always scary, but it won’t happen unless you do it!
I am so appreciative of your support over these years and look forward to seeing you again once market season starts again (or perhaps in the studio!).
