Our TeamDebbie Tawse is the founder and owner of North Austin's children's art studio marmalade skies. A proud graduate of the University of Texas' Advertising Department, Debbie shifted gears and pursued event planning. When her kiddies came along, she stayed home and started watching do-it-yourself television, and ultimately became a self trained mosaic artist and craft expert. In 2006, Debbie envisioned an opportunity to create a lively, colorful open art studio for all of Austin. She found a great location close to her home at the Anderson Mill Shopping Center and Highway 183. This unique nook is the place to go for mosaic, birthday parties, drawing classes, jewelery, beading classes and decoupage. Owner Debbie Tawse is featured on the Time Warner website.
