Our Story
The Bare Slate opened in August - 2020. As a family owned and operated business, we wanted to provide a fun, learning and interactive experience for all our customers. What sets us apart from the rest is our ability to customize our offering to customers’ needs, as well as our fantastic team! Read through our site to learn more, or simply get in touch.
As of May 2025, The Bare slate closed our brick and mortar studio and has pivoted to be a off-site arts and crafts business. Please stay updated with our events and workshops happening at venues near you!
