Sculptors Andy Rizzo and Damian Paradis moved into the studio in March of 2006. On December 29th, 2006 at 3am they were woken to the sounds of shouting and smoke. After everyone safely escaped from the building it was found that the studio next to ours had caught fire. The fire department responded very quickly, and put the fire out in short order. Sadly, in the process they went through our studio and tore down one of our walls and broke every window in the studio. When we get to move back in is still up in the ai,r but check back often as we'll update the site with any new news.

Update: It has been more than a year since the Rugg Road fire. As of yet very little has changed and it is unclear if and when we'll ever be able to move back into the studio. If we have lost track of you since the fire please drop us a line.
Claymonkey Studio since its opening has held a weekly drawing group. When the studio reopens it will move from Tuesday night to Wednesday night. If interested please contact us at: drawinggroup at claymonkey dot net
