by our hands we make our way
4.9(41)Freckingham Street
Making anything right now is a radical act in defiance of fear: making something
however simple seeming – baking bread, making the bed; making art or a garden; a
stiff drink or your mind up. It’s time to get creative and figure out how to
keep our fingers busy, hearts full and souls satisfied. Time to roll sleeves up
and get those hands dirty (as long as you wash ’em before and afterwards!)
Finding ways to continue connections and sustain friendship feels so important,
we’re glad that you’re a part of our community. Whatever comes next we have to
make it together. Even if we can’t be with you here there are things that we’d
like to share. There are tools at the workshop waiting for hands to use them.
We’ll be glad to see shavehorses, benchhooks, chopping blocks, mallets and
whittling tools loaned out to good homes, keeping folk crafting. We were so
lucky to recieve a lot of wood before the doors closed, we’d love to see it go
out to people who can use it. Let us know if you’d like a delivery of fresh
green cherry, birch, whitebeam or oak. There are books in the library that could
keep you busy learning something new over the next weeks and months. We’re
working online too, hosting a shared space to chip away at whatever you feel
like. Making a place to talk, weep, dance, laugh while we carve something
beautiful together. Fridays are a good time to try, if someone is in the studio
then you are virtually welcome to sit and have a cuppa, what’s on your mind?
