This is a Gallery, a workspace, and a classroom all rolled into one! This is a place to have an EXPERIENCE. Come in to my shop, and meet a real person who creates things with her hands all day long. Become that person too, through taking a class or a workshop. Wield a hammer, strike a die, light a torch, form metal into a shape you love. Show a loved one your skills, and also how much you care.
“I had a spectacular experience making my engagement ring for my partner here a few months ago. I learned a ton about ring making in the workshop and my partner loved the ring.
