steez. | studio lab

Welcome to steez. |studio lab—an immersive, high-vibe design workshop hosted at Rise at the Salt Shed. This isn't your average, messy "sip and paint." We are diving into the actual power of color alchemy and design to engineer a wearable statement piece from scratch.

Before paint ever touches your bucket hat, we’re tapping into the science of style, intention, and abstraction. You’ll learn how to landscape your canvas using intentional color theory, spatial composition, and street-style design principles. You’ll map out your vision, sketch your blueprints on paper, and lock in your palette before bringing your custom cap to life.

Whether you’re a seasoned color bender or picking up a brush for the first time, you’ll leave with a high-contrast, head-turning crown that is 100% you.

We are setting the perfect atmosphere for your creative flow state. Your ticket hooks you up with everything you need to vibe out and create:

• The Canvas: 1 Premium canvas bucket hat + professional fabric paints, markers, and tools.
• The Blueprint: Guided instruction on composition, color theory, and execution.
• The Fuel: Complimentary light refreshments and bites to keep your energy up.
• The Pour: Choose the ticket tier that fits your flow (details below), featuring premium house beverages.
