Hey, we're Jessie and Olly the husband and wife duo behind Jessie's Art Shed and we are SO excited to share with you our incredibly exciting new venture! We’re expanding our Eynsham Art Shed!
Ever since we started JAS 8 years ago we've always dreamt of a ‘destination’ place. One big location.
So when the shop next door to our current shop came up for rent we knew we had to consider it. We spent a few weeks going back and forth over our options, looking at whether it was even possible to connect the 2 spaces (it is!) and working out the costs (scarily large!) and decided after a huge amount of thought that we need to go for it and have faith that it will work! Ahh!
This means a HUGE amount of work will be about to happen/happening as you read this. We're putting everything into this new space and the cost alone of cutting through our current Shed into the new one is massive. Why are we doing it then? Because we have never believed in what we do more. Our passion for spreading the joy of creativity has grown tenfold in the last 8 years and we truly believe that what we do matters and we can and do make a difference.
JAS has always been about so much more than us earning money. It’s a place where people can connect, where you’ll always be met with friendly faces, where creativity can happen freely and where you can be completely yourself. In a world where the High Street is struggling and businesses are being forced to close we want to fight to prove that businesses like ours are an integral part of society.
So (and this scares me to even write this), we are fundraising for this new project. Our goal is to fundraise £5000 to help us with the cost of cutting through and all the plumbing/electrics to get the equipment we need to run our art classes.
We can't thank you enough for being a part of our journey!
