Dear Lillie Pad Studios Community,
Writing this letter is bittersweet. Unfortunately, Lillie Pad Studios, LLC will be closing for a while. Hopefully we can get our feet back on the ground (and glass back in our hands) soon. In full transparency, it has been very difficult making ends meet since Covid-19 came into our lives. Closing the studio for over a year really created a lot of struggles that have been hard to rebound from. To help make ends meet, and fill my creative soul, I have accepted a teaching position at Jacksonville University, where I will be head of the glass and sculpture departments for the 2023/24 academic year. In truth, this is a dream come true. However, I am saddened to be closing the studio doors, and saying goodbye to my local art community, even if only temporarily. I am not sure what the future holds beyond this next year. I do know that the personal connections that I have made through building, maintaining, and operating the studios over the past 11 years have been the most rewarding and fulfilling moments of my career. I have wholeheartedly loved working with each and every student, intern, and resident artist that I have been fortunate enough to share my passion for glass and sculpture with here at Lillie Pad Studios. It is my hope that I will be able to reopen the studios sometime in 2024. Please check back to the website and keep an eye out for information about our future together in the arts. I will miss the quick commute and the amazing people I have been honored to work with in this small community arts center and I can only hope that I am able to find similar connections in a university setting. I am so grateful for the educational experiences and growth opportunities that we have shared over the years. Thank you!
Health and Happiness,
Michelle
