This is a very nice studio. We had so much fun punting, playing hot potato, singing along the songs. You get to have fun and take a beautiful piece of art.

John always has new and beautiful works of art to choose from. The colors are so rich and interesting. His pieces are so functional as well. I find myself reaching for them time and time again for serving or dining. His lamps are really charming and add character to a room.

We visited Grace Farms on a Sunday. It was serene and calm, like going to the spa without getting wet! We sat and had a tea and very much enjoyed a lesson from the tea-maven Brian. He was so knowledgeable about the varieties of teas they stock, as well as all the various methods of brewing the teas. I left with a whole new appreciation. Visiting Grace Farms is a relaxing respite, you feel completely rejuvenated after just an hour or two.

The artist, Jean-Luc Godard focuses on organic designs and minimalist concepts.
