The studio dates from around 1910, when it was the workshop for a builder of churches and houses in the Pittsburgh, PA region. The workshop, and the craftsman home it sits behind, stayed in the builder's family until 2004, when artist Isaac Bower and his wife purchased the property.
The studio is currently divided into three main areas - a clean process / meeting / display space, a wood-shop / mold-making / casting space, and the “barn”, which is an unfinished, configurable space for storage and rough work.
