They’re back!
Studio M found a company to take over production of their art poles and they’re in stock at Abbe Creek Gallery! Same building, new business. They used WAY more restraint when ordering than I ever did, but they can order larger sizes and a huge variety of designs if you don’t see what you want at the gallery. Ask, they’ll be happy to show you your options!!
