Unique Arts

Unique Arts is located on Lake Palace Road, which is a fairly nice part of town. We have a small storefront but most of the real action happens in the back room where we keep all our supplies. It is a bit of a cramped space because we have piles of wood, cans of paint, and rolls of fabric stacked up against the walls. There are usually three of us working here on any given day. We don't have a set schedule really, we just show up and start working on whatever projects are currently on the bench. The smell of sawdust and varnish is pretty strong most of the time. We have an old radio that stays tuned to the local station, providing some background noise while we work. People walking toward the lake often stop and look through our window to see what we are making. We don't have any big sales pitches or fancy catalogs. If someone likes what they see, they come in and we talk about the price. It is a very simple way of doing things. The floor is always a mess with scraps and dust, but we sweep it up at the end of every week. We've been at this address for several years and the neighbors are all friendly. Sometimes we sit outside on stools when the weather is cool and watch the tourists go by. It’s a quiet life and we like it that way.
