Capitola Sea wall begins tile installation.

So many people have graced our studio, this past month. Painting a multitude of tiles for the Capitola sea wall. This project brings some incredible color and imagination to such wonderful location. If you haven't had the chance to paint your own tile for the wall, it's not too late. Cost is $35.00 for one tile and that includes your paint. Feel free to contact us for more information.

The Petroglyph Mural: The Song of Santa Cruz

2008-05-20T13:24:00.000-07:00

A lot of people ask about the incredible (and long) mural on the outside of our studio. Well, I found this short video I made of the artist (James Carl Aschbacher) painting it, and telling of it's inception.

[[By the way, James is flattering us with the credit. I always felt that the most amazing part of the tale of this mural is that Ruth Eulensen, the owner of building, had always wanted a mural on this wall, and by her own effort, with no input from us, decided to make this happen. She discovered James on her own, and loved his work, and initated this. It's a wonderful and remarkable coincidence we had found him too and had long looked forward to his work on our santa cruz petroglyph.]]

Directions to Petroglyph Santa Cruz

View Larger Map

Coming South on Highway 17 (towards Highway 1): [from the San Jose area] Take the 17 and neither exit north (to Half Moon Bay) nor south (to Monterey), but rather go straight into what becomes OCEAN STREET (keep in the left lane off the 17). Highway 17 dead ends into Ocean Street, Santa Cruz. Go up Ocean Street for 5 blocks, until you get to the major intersection at SOQUEL AVENUE, where you will turn right. Drive for 1/2 mile into downtown Santa Cruz. You will be forced right onto Pacific Avenue, and make your first left... this is WALNUT. Park on the street, in the parking structure, or pass the store and turn left onto Cedar: there are more parking lots behind the building!

From highway 9: HWY 9 turns into RIVER STREET. Right on North PACIFIC. Right on CHURCH Street (with Blockbuster Music on the corner.) Left on CEDAR. We are on the corner of Walnut and Cedar. Across from Parking Garage, park in there or behind the store. From HWY 1: Take Half Moon Bay exit. Left on RIVER STREET, (end of freeway). Same directions as HWY 9 after that.
