Make something
Art, costuming, design, products, and hands-on making can meet a different community here. SHINE Studio is the physical home of Elektra Cosmetics, with creative spaces and tools we can discuss using together.

and Try Something New
Come stay with us and bring what you’d like to try. Your craft, business, products, ideas, or curiosity might become a pop-up, something we make, or a collaboration with people here.
Our spaces, tools, experience, and connections can help get an idea off the ground. We’re curious about things that complement Elektra and our other activities. Let’s talk about what’s available, what support would help, and what we could do together.

What might
we do together?
You might arrive with something you’re already doing, or simply be curious about what you could try here.
Business and technology
A pop-up, an event, a useful office workflow, product preparation, or an entrepreneurial experiment might fit what you do. Bring your experience with business or technology, and let’s see what’s worth trying.
Tell a story
What feels meaningful to you in the people, places, and things happening here? Bring your perspective. Filming, interviewing, editing, organizing, and posting can all help share something worth seeing.

Bring your remote work and explore a stay with familiar people around you. There’s space to work at home, and our days are often independent. We can also talk about space at SHINE Studio, and there are local coffee shops to discover.
Work, walks, conversation, and finding your way around the city can be part of the same visit.
Let’s have
a conversation.
Getting acquainted is part of the fun. We can start by phone or video, and perhaps have a few calls before you arrive. Tell us about yourself and what you’d enjoy exploring with us.
We generally prefer stays of at least a month. Your stay with us is on us. Studio space, equipment, and materials at SHINE Studio are shared at fair rates we'll agree on together.
Accommodation can be inside our home and sometimes Artsy Cozy Home; this path does not use the in-law suite. We’ll discuss who’s coming and what space works. Harry can trigger cat allergies even though he is hairless, and we don’t host guest pets in our home.
What excites you?
Tell us what you enjoy doing and what you have in mind. A link to your work is welcome if you have one.
