“Oil and Cotton was the perfect place for a staff retreat. Shannon and Kayli graciously and enthusiastically welcomed us into their bright building—even before their grand opening! They inspired our team with their creative space and mission; leading us in a fun silk-screen book project that supported a relaxed, social atmosphere and opened our minds for the business discussions that followed.”
