FAQ

A goat named Sigi, with a brown and white face licking a pink flower in a garden with yellow flowers.

  • No. The studio is located a few miles from town and there are no Airbnbs in the neighborhood. It is about a seven minute drive from the north end of town. Carpooling discussions can happen after registration.

  • No. There is space here to host instructors only.

  • Yes! The studio is very well insulated and has heat and a/c. There are shady seating areas outside for lunch and casual breaks.

  • Not at this time. Setting up the studio has taken enormous effort. I’m shifting back to hosting for a while to get the operation rolling smoothly and catch up on other commitments before setting up classes of my own.

  • Yes, of course! Siggi doesn’t spend as much time in the studio now that she is getting bigger and soon to be weaned from the bottle, but she loves to come down for short visits. Walks to the goat pasture and through the garden are always welcome.
