FOGBELT STUDIO

STUDIO USE / STUDIO RENTAL

FOGBELT STUDIO, a non-toxic workplace, is located in the Sunset-Parkside (south - west) neighborhood of San Francisco. In 1927 when the house was built, this space was a 3 car garage.

The main part of the studio is approximately 18 X 20 feet, and houses two large (54 X 54 inch top) tables (working height while standing / sitting on tall stools), and a Griffin etching press with a
32 X 48 inch bed, used for printing monotypes, collographs, linoleum blocks and etching plates - wonderful 60 year old manual press! There is also a low sturdy table, seats 4, with a large paper cutter on one end.

There is a separate small dark room with large UV exposure unit for cyanotypes, deep utility sink, and small refrigerator.

The FOGBELT "lending library" outside the dark room (coffee & tea - no charge) houses shelves of books on artists and techniques to sign out, and old copies of art related magazines to take and keep.

The adjacent family room, tables & microwave, is used for classes and coffee breaks.

The patio outside is useful for papermaking and cyanotypes.

FOGBELT has held all ages and stages of art making from the beginner taking a basic class, to the experienced printmaker renting the studio, preparing work for an upcoming show.

Some folks come weekly, some occasionally, to work on a project too messy or too large for their own household - having the whole studio to themselves for an entire day - or as a small group of friends getting together monthly to do collage.

Artists have rented the space to teach their own classes in various mediums.
