A message of love from a friend taken all too soon by breast cancer helped inspire and stoke the creative talents of Bryton Rankin (pictured center), who in a couple of weeks will celebrate the grand opening of her downtown crafts studio, Bryton + Co. DIY Studio.
Bryton and her Rotarian husband, Mike, have been busily transforming the building at 307 North Oak Avenue, between Garrett’s and Fresh & Fruity, that was formerly used as a storage space. A ribbon cutting is planned for noon on Thursday, Aug. 19, with a grand opening two days later on Saturday, Aug. 21, at 11 a.m.
Bryton is pictured with Rotary Club President Karyn Bullock, left, and program chair and Mineral Wells Main Street Director Myndi Muncy.
The arts and crafts studio will cater to creative types of all ages and abilities. You will be able to walk in and select a project, bring your own project and arrange or take part in classes and events. You will be able to subscribe to a monthly craft kit. Bryton said there will be hundreds of crafts options. A kiln is available to put the finishing glaze and touches on your project.
The studio will host wedding and baby showers, birthday parties, team-building events, themed parties and more in their event rooms. There will also be a paint splash room.
And, of course, so much more.
Bryton’s studio is sure to be a hit and is a welcomed and unique addition to the downtown renaissance taking place. Be sure and find Bryton + Co. DIY Studio on Facebook and visit the website at https://brytonandco.com/.
