Updates! Handmade Holiday Gift Guide

Our November Handmade Holiday Classes are sold out! But don’t fret, there’s still spots left for our gift building December classes. A new addition to the list:

Don’t wait until last minute and get stuck picking out some Amazon junk just to find out that you already bought your dad the same fancy nuts three years before (true story). Instead, We’ve compiled a list of classes where you create a piece of art made with 100% genuine love that you can give to someone on your holiday list. Best of all, it’s sort of a selfish gift because while they get whatever you make, you get the skills to build another during our Open Workshop Hours.

Peruse the classes below. If one or two suits your fancy be sure to sign up for them soon before they sell out!

Share the Tools! $16,300 Given in 2024

Did y'all know a percentage of all your tool library, class, and open workshop purchases go to helping folks and orgs afford tools?

A chunk of our total revenue, your Gold Memberships, and your donations hangout at a big pool party called the Share the Tools Fund which gets distributed via financial assistance. So far in 2024, you've helped us give out an estimated $16,300 in assistance!

Thanks for helping the community!
