Introducing our largest pochade to date - The Studio Goat - crafted with a solid Ambrosia Maple frame, lightweight basswood palette, brass components, custom leather and marine-grade snaps, locally milled aluminum mounting plate, unique lampwork glass beaded brush holders, and a beautifully figured hard wax oil finish.
The Studio was designed to accommodate larger pieces and offer more palette space to mix. With such a large format we think of this as a tool for your home base but we are proud to still offer it with all the same features as our smaller box allowing it to be set up anywhere.
At Urban Goat we value people and craftsmanship as much as innovative design and ease of use. Other manufacturers utilize industrial grade plywood ground out by computer driven machines to mass produce their easels. Whereas at Urban Goat we hand pick beautifully figured hardwood, and in our workshop our expert woodworkers (real people, not computers!) using over a hundred skilled steps craft raw wood, brass and aluminum into a pochade in which every tiny detail serves a purpose in the overall design - beauty, ease of use, function, and artist efficiency.
While crafting hardwood by hand takes more skill and effort than having a machine grind out plywood, we do it for multiple reasons - the Alpine is both stronger and lighter than theirs. We are able to fully align the grain of the hardwood to provide the most strength where it is needed most: along the spine and arms. This frees up more interior space - we provide over half an inch of vertical space above the palette surface for your paint dabs to safely live from one paint session to the next (3/4” for Deep dish varient). There’s even enough vertical space above the palette to safely close your Alpine with an 11×14” wet panel in the goat grip.
