Nova Art Studios is the new home of KERNgirl. After 10 years operating out of Western Avenue Studios in Lowell, Massachusetts, I moved to North Chelmsford to join a burgeoning and exciting community of artists and skilled craftspeople. Read how my journey into collecting and using vintage letterpress equipment began.
Greater Lowell’s newest artist community, Nova Art Studios is located in the fully renovated historic Chelmsford Mills. Featuring an author, fiber artists, jewelers, letterpress printer, metalworker, mixed media artist, photographer, potter, soap maker and woodworker, Nova brings decades of art experience and craftsmanship to North Chelmsford.
