The best kind of work doesn’t feel like work at all. We wake up each morning with an excitement to try the next technique, lead the next workshop, meet each new artist. We hope that by joining a maker’s circle, you will feel the thrill of creating, and will come back for more.
Our founders are best friends who decided life’s to short to do things you don’t love doing.
