Andy Reisert began this project in the mid 80s. Today we have over 40 studios which house many talented creative people. For some, it is a place of escape where their creative juices flow undisturbed by the fast pace of their daily lives. For others, it is a place of business where they can enjoy the best of both worlds as they make a living plying their craft and enjoy the antiquity of an old mill full of local history and flavor. Most important it is a place of bonding as artists and artisans work together and support one another in their endeavors.
