Castle in the Air | 1801 B Fourth St.

Castle in the Air began as a wish and grew into a way of life. In 2001, painter Karima Cammell opened a small storefront in her hometown of Berkeley, California. Her vision was to create the ideal studio for artists, writers, and dreamers. Castle in the Air would provide the supplies, knowledge, and camaraderie—all rare treasures—that the creative life demands.

Backed by hard work, this clear idea became a reality. A creative fantasy sprang to life in the heart of Berkeley's Fourth Street. The shop and classroom’s offerings have prompted the revival of many long-lost arts, including crepe-paper flowers, calligraphy, and vintage crafts. Over time Castle in the Air has garnered acclaim from journalists and style-makers, who have helped make it an international destination.
