A small update about where we’re heading

2025 surprised us.

In the best possible way, it was bigger, messier, more beautiful, and far more connective than anything we planned on paper. Workshops filled. People kept showing up. Conversations stretched longer. And we learned so much by simply watching how you used the space, the tools, and each other’s company.

Your feedback helped us pause, reflect, and think carefully about where a collective space is growing next.

This year, our focus is… you.

We’re leaning more deeply into community, learning, and shared making.

That means more workshops, more ways to build together, and more chances to slow down with your hands and your mind in the same place.

We’ll still be building and experimenting and making beautiful things.

But we’re also making a gentle shift so our work can stay intentional and sustainable.

Custom commissions and bigger builds will move to Emmy’s channel (find her at @emmy.sandt), where she’ll share restorations, builds, technical work, and special projects.

Sne will be spending more time developing research-based programs, exploring how woodworking and creative practice can support connection, regulation, and wellbeing. You can find them at @sne.roy if you want to follow the thinking side of the work.

Together, we’ll keep shaping a collective space into a place for enriching, meaningful, and hands-on experiences.

If there’s something you’ve been dreaming of doing with us like a class, a gathering, a kind of build, a conversation, please send us a message. We genuinely love hearing what you want to learn and make.

And if you’re new here, welcome.

If you’ve been with us for a while, thank you. Truly.

We can’t wait to build the next season with you, slowly, with care.

See you in the studio soon.
