Dear Kim,

    I was a partner in a jewelers cooperative here on Martha's Vineyard
    for many years. Another Orchid member Rick Hamilton was also a
    member of the studio. The studio was active for ten years and we
    just closed it last year. What did you want to know about the setup?
    We had four members with a shared polishing area and a joint front
    showroom. The rest of the space was equally divided(as equal as
    possible) into four spaces for our benches and work spaces. We all
    split the rent, electric, gas and infrequent advertising costs. PM me
    if you need more info. 

Cheers,
Beth McElhiney
