Our Saturday workshop is sold out!

We hope to see you soon! 🎅

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

For real! THANK YOU!

We’re a very small, (growing) family-run business, and this place exists because of people like you.

It’s just Kailey and me behind the scenes: working most of the shifts and offsites, prepping materials, creating projects, handling admin, marketing, and all the wildly unglamorous stuff that comes with running a tiny business.

We're so lucky to have our amazing team of two who help us keep the wheels turning. We’re endlessly grateful for them!

This year has been a wild one. It’s been a bit slower than normal, and we’ve felt it.

BUT!
Every booking, every visit, every crafted project, every kind word, every share… it all means more than you know.

Thank you for choosing us, supporting us, and showing up. You keep this dream going, and we’re so grateful you’re here.

❤️ Adam

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS!

WREATH-ER MADNESS

Oregon’s known for more than one kind of green… 🌲😉

Fun fact: Oregon grows about 1/3 of all U.S. Christmas trees, which means our wreath workshops use the freshest, most fragrant greens you’ll ever get your hands on.

Seats are still open, but we don't expect them to last for long.

Grab your spot while you can!

THE LAST CHARCUTERIE BOARD WORKSHOP!

November 16th, 2-5pm

This will be the LAST charcuterie board workshop with Abby!

Cheeses, meats, breads... They love these boards, and we think you will too!

PAINTED PET PORTRAIT WORKSHOP

November 20th or December 10th, 6-9pm

Only 2 workshops left of the year!

Erinn Kathryn will help you paint (more accurate than you could imagine) portraits of your (or your friends, loved ones, etc) fur babies!

Not only will you walk away with an awesome portrait, but also the skills and basic knowledge of painting.

ONE WREATH WORKSHOP IS SOLD OUT ALREADY!

It's the truth.

One wreath workshop sold out!

This will be year 6 of us doing wreath workshops.

Continue the tradition (or make a new one - pun intended)!

WREATH WORKSHOPS ARE UP!

And just like that spooky season is over, and the winter holidays begin!

We currently have 4 wreath workshops scheduled, but over the last few years all of them typically sell out!

We'll have a few options for greens, pinecones, and show everyone how to make bows!

Can't wait to get festive with you all again this year!

HOLIDAY PARTIES AND TEAM BUILDING

On the Holiday note... If you work for a cool company that does Holiday parties or team building and are interested in doing wreath workshops, Holiday painted signs, or crafting you can have them reach out to us at:

[email protected]

We can come to you, or we can fit up to 40 people at our space!

OTHER UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

THE LAST DIY CHARCUTERIE BOARD WORKSHOP 😢

November 16th, 2-5pm

This will be the LAST charcuterie board workshop with Abby!

She'll be moving across the globe. 😢

In the meantime we have her for a few more weeks!

She will help you transform a piece of Oregon Walnut into a board all the meats and cheeses will want to hang out on. 🧀

As of writing this we're down to 7 spots for this workshop!

PAINTED PET PORTRAIT WORKSHOP

November 20th or December 10th, 6-9pm

I heard a new term recently -- skin baby.

They're not the stars of this workshop though!

Erinn Kathryn will help you paint (more accurate than you could imagine) portraits of your (or your friends, loved ones, etc) fur babies!

Not only will you walk away with an awesome portrait, but also the skills and basic knowledge of painting.

GET CRAFTY THIS SPOOKY SEASON!

It's never too late (or early) to have some spooky season decorations out!

We can print out any stencil for our string art and cement projects, so that means you can easily make your own seasonal decorations! You can see some examples in the gif above.

For fall we also have some new painted sign designs! Below are just 2 of the stencils. We'll have 5 or 6 options, but we ran out of time to finish all the examples before putting out this newsletter. There's never enough time in a day or week when you're running a small business!😜

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

You may recognize the 2 instructor-led workshops we have coming up, but we wanted to let you know it's the...

second to last painted pet portrait workshop for the year.

That means 2 more chances to either paint your own pet with amazing guidance, or better yet, paint a friend's pet and give it to them for the Holidays! ;)

and the LAST charcuterie board workshop with Abby!

Not just for this year, but maybe ever? 😢

Abby will be moving across the world, so unless she moves back this could be your last chance to make a charcuterie board with her!

We will miss Abby, but are so happy for her future adventures!

PAINTED PET PORTRAIT WORKSHOP

October 29th, 6-9pm

This is one of the last painted pet portraits of the year with Erinn Kathryn! She is magically talented and is able to help folks with all artistic abilities (or inabilities) come out with amazing pieces!

This is what someone said about their recent experience:

"I went for paint your pet painting class, and it was awesome! The selection of beverages was wide, and since I didn’t know drinks were an option I was happily surprised! The atmosphere is welcoming, and inspired me to come do more stuff!
The teacher for the class was so kind and effective! Highly recommend!"

If you sort our Google reviews by recent, it'll be the 3rd one ;)

DIY CHARCUTERIE BOARD WORKSHOP

November 16th, 2-5pm

This will be the LAST charcuterie board workshop with Abby!

We are going to miss her so much. Abby is able to lead a workshop, keep you entertained, and connect like an old friend in a manner of minutes.

There's only 10 spots available, and this will be close to the winter Holidays, so we expect this to sell out.

This is the last Google review we got, and it's about Abby's workshop!

"Great spot! We did a charcuterie board workshop and the boards came out great. Awesome NA drink selection as well."

HAVE YOU SEEN OUR UPDATED MENU?

Has it been a while since you've been in? We've launched some new projects over the past year.

We have some new leather and cement projects (as seen in the gif above!).

We also offer imperfect materials for our leather and wood projects at a 10% discount!

The imperfect materials give each piece a uniqueness that's fun to work with. The leather may have excessive scarring or brands, and the imperfect wood may have larger knots or small cracks.
