Studio 1867 is THE PLACE to meet others and learn new things for your home. We plan on creating a safe, caring and supportive learning environment for all things interior decor related.
As well as a wide range of classes we will be selling fabrics and products designed by Ruth Warkentin, as well as select art works and decor items by local artists and artisans.
We have available a wide range of sample books to choose fabrics from for your next home decor project. You do not need to be doing a class to purchase through us. We deal with MOST fabric companies, so although we could not possibly carry all the samples available, if you find something on the web that intrigues, just ask us. We can likely source it for you.
The studio space is also the front door to Red Tape Vintage Upholstery & Workroom and Ruth Elaine Design.
When you want an upholstery project done that is beyond your own interest or skill level, you can ask our capable team at Red Tape Vintage to take care of it for you. The work is done in our Victoria workshop, however you may drop off and pick up your project at our Whippletree Junction location or you may request pickup and delivery service. We service southern Vancouver Island, from Sooke to Chemainus.
If you are an artist and are looking for museum quality reproductions of your artwork or want to discuss having your art brought to life on a variety of different products, you can talk with Ruth at the studio. She has been working directly with artists for 15 years. Gicleé canvas, archival prints on a variety of substrates as well as custom fabric designs and more are available through Ruth Elaine Design.
