Tucked into a 100-year-old building at 150 Tomoka Ave. is one of Ormond Beach’s small businesses — The Studio by Artist Angel Lowden and Novel Tea Book Shop.
The shop, which opened in 2022, is the vision of artist Angel Lowden, who partnered with Novel Tea’s owner Stephanie Gonter in 2023 to create a space filled with art, books, loose tea, homemade bakery treats, writing and art supplies, and a variety of gifts and treasures sold by local vendors.
Writers and readers come together at multiple monthly events to enjoy book clubs, art workshops, and writers’ discussions, among other events at the shop, which is inspired by Lowden's lifelong love of Alice in Wonderland.
“We are paying homage to the history of the building, built in the early 1900s, by serving the community as a general store for creatives," Lowden said.
