(My exploratory works)  The address is 1088 West Chateau Avenue in Meridian.  The easiest access is east off Linder on Chateau despite what GPS says.  I am one of the farthest out studios, even though I am in  old Meridian, so I will welcome all the visitors I can and you can ask all the questions you want!
