A downtown Cedaredge studio built by a neighbor who wished a place like this existed — co-working space, in-house printing, and design help, all under one roof.
Local. Creative. Connected. — The Lab's own words.
Amy Thieme
Founder, The Lab Cedaredge
After more than twenty years managing projects, events, memberships, and communications for organizations across Colorado, Amy Thieme relocated to Cedaredge and opened The Lab — a studio built specifically to bring creative resources, design support, and quality printing to a small town that didn't have them yet.
"The Lab is where ideas grow, minds collide, and collaborations flourish."
That's not agency copy — it's The Lab's own mission, word for word, for a space Amy runs herself in a rural community she chose on purpose, built on integrity, acceptance, and shared values.
Everything The Lab offers, in the order most people actually need it.
A real desk in downtown Cedaredge for freelancers, remote workers, and small businesses who want somewhere to work that isn't the kitchen table — plus the community that comes with it.
Newly added in-house printing and copying — no more driving out of town for a stack of flyers or a set of copies.
Now openDesign help for the projects that pile up on a business owner's desk — formatting, layout, and marketing pieces done right the first time.
Through a partnership with JAZ Print & Promo, The Lab handles branded apparel, drinkware, and promo products — one conversation from artwork to delivery.
A weekly open hour for the community to get help with the tech that trips everyone up — no appointment, no judgment.
Wednesdays 9am–1pm
JAZ Print & Promo's own product photography — the branded merch The Lab's partnership brings to Cedaredge clients.
Every Wednesday, 9 AM–1 PM — a standing, no-cost session for anyone in the community who wants a hand with technology. Bring a laptop, a phone, a question, whatever it is.
Outside these hours, The Lab is also available by appointment — call ahead and Amy will find a time that works.
"We're building a community of thinkers, doers, and innovators in beautiful Cedaredge, Colorado." — and the involvement backs the words up.
Amy serves on the committee that connects new residents and businesses to the community they've just joined.
A local council Amy helped bring into existence, pulling Cedaredge neighbors and organizations together.
Full-service printing and branded merch for Lab clients — design it, print it, promote it, without leaving town.
A facelift is just the beginning. Here are a few possibilities we could build alongside a studio like The Lab.
These are ideas, not features of the current site — a glimpse of what a technology partner could build alongside the studio that's already here.
