Deanna Feddersen is a small business owner, artist, wife, and mother of three from Leesburg, Virginia.

She began her journey with Peace By Piece, a handcrafted jewelry business, selling at Leesburg farmers markets and within local shops. As she grew her brand and talked with members of the community that supported her, she realized that there was an opportunity that both she and many others are seeking: a gathering space for open-creativity and exploration into art and craft.

Studio 101 is an evolving community studio and retreat rental space for artists and creators to lead sustainable workshops, teach classes and create opportunities for the local community to show up to learn, showcase and inspire.
