Our Studio
wiSTERIA Design Group
We are fortunate to be owners and members of Wisteria Design Group, a vibrant community of talented artists on Seattle ‘s Capitol Hill. Woodworkers wield their craft in a well-outfitted shop on the first floor while fine artists and creative business owners create their magic in the upstairs studio spaces.
Northwest Woodworkers Gallery
We are proud to have played leadership roles in the Northwest Woodworker’s Gallery for thirty years. This cooperatively owned and run gallery, a favorite destination for lovers of the art and craft of fine woodworking since 1978, provides inspiration and community for the artists. We said goodbye this year to our brick and mortar space, but carry on with an on line presence.
