Gabopp Studio was founded in 2022

Justine Gabreski and Tristan Sopp bought the building in 2019 with the intention of the first floor retail space eventually becoming a combination retail and studio space for Tristan’s business Resident. In 2022 the space was officially opened to the public with minimal fanfare and few items in stock beyond Tristan’s DIY papercraft kits. Soon Justine’s watercolor work was added and slowly more items were stocked as the space changed and evolved.

The name comes from Justine and Tristan’s names being mashed together - GABreski and sOPP becomes Gabopp (pronounced GA - Bop like you are bopping something on the head). It’s just meant to be a fun word for the space and the building.

What is the shop? We’re focused on sustainability, simple materials, and design. That means we carry a variety of things from home goods to craft projects to art. Gifts and consumable items (candles, home care items, etc) are a lot of what we carry.

Cheers!
