Cypraea’s Offerings
A few different ways to work, create, and gather at Cypraea, so you can find the one that fits.
Coworking Studio Membership
OPEN COWORKING DESKS AND STUDIO WITH PREMIUM, INTENTIONAL AMENITIES
A steady place for coworking—good wifi, espresso and tea on hand, community, and art supplies within reach when inspiration hits mid-spreadsheet. Member gatherings, local perks, and discounts to Cypraea’s creative workshops are built into your membership, so the space works for your whole self, not just your inbox.
FORMAT: Day passes and/or flexible monthly memberships
BEST FOR: Daily work, steady focus, collaboration, networking, building a community of creative women
Creative Workshops & Classes
ART WORKSHOPS, CREATIVE AND EARTH-HONORING CLASSES BY LOCAL ARTISTS AND TEACHERS
In a world full of distractions, finding moments for creativity and lifelong learning is vital. Painting, drawing, herbalism, fiber arts, flower arranging, writing, and more, taught by working artists and creative teachers who love a beginner as much as they love a pro. Seasonal rituals that honor the earth and practical skill-building classes that meet us where we’re at. Some workshops are a single evening… others will unfold over a multi-week series.
FORMAT: In-person workshops and classes, multi-week creative series
BEST FOR: Trying something new, being a beginner again, building a skill, creative friends, lifelong learning, finding inspiration and flow
We’re always looking for artists and teachers who want to share their craft, expertise, and knowledge too! Apply to Teach with Cypraea here.

Studio Stewards
ARTIST CARE & RECIPROCITY
Cypraea's name comes from the cowrie shell, once used as trade and currency, and that same spirit of reciprocity lives on here. If you're a working artist or instructor and space to create is what's standing between you and your next project, we may be able to work something out. Studio Stewards offer their time and gifts to Cypraea in return for coworking membership, studio access, and creative workshops.
