Handcrafted Home Series
Home is a place where we gather with friends and loved ones to laugh, eat, and enjoy life. It is easy to overlook how important it is to surround ourselves with meaningful objects living in an age of mass production. The Handcrafted Home series of workshops are designed for all skill levels to, not only learn a new craft, but to enrich your home with handmade objects that are personal and functional.
