If there is anything I appreciate in this world it is when people go out on their own and bring something new to the table. That is just what I discovered in Newport News recently at Hip + Innovative Studio Boutique!
Hip is the brainchild of Anna of Anna Hubbard Jewelry. I had the opportunity to meet Anna back in February over a cup of coffee. We connected over our love for jewelry (because she makes the most beautiful pieces (pictured below). On that coffee date, shared her vision for Hip with me and I was pumped for it. I never could have imaged what it turned into though…
Y’all, I cannot express to you how cool this place is! My photos don’t even do it justice! Follow them on Instagram here.
While there, I admired all the handcrafted products from nationwide and global artisans.
Some of which were made by my insta/blog friend, Elizabeth, of Oak and Oats! The world can be so small in such cool ways sometimes…(she is all the way in Colorado!)
Hip is even a retailer of Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan which I haven’t seen since I did 3 tables with it when I lived in North Carolina! This paint is amazing and has such a cool effect…
My favorite part of the whole place (although hard to choose) is that they offer workshops to do fun things like weaving and making jewelry! They even have Chalk Paint® Workshops!
As someone who loved to make jewelry and paint and do alllll the things as a child, this is right up my ally. The main reason I don’t do these things anymore though is because I’d have to get the materials and make a mess! They handle all those things for you though ?! Check out their upcoming workshops here.
Is there anything better than an art studio in the middle of a boutique? I think not!
As Anna says, stay Hip friends ;)!
Hip can be found at 141 Walt Whitman Ave in Newport News, Virginia!
