The Artisan Alliance

We believe that a space is best served when multiple disciplines of mastery intersect. While our workshop is defined by the heavy elements of wood and steel, we collaborate with a select group of local artisans who bring a different kind of substance to the South Sound.

These are not just vendors; they are the makers and friends who share our refusal to settle for the mass-produced. By integrating their expertise in earth and light with our structural foundations, we are able to provide a level of customization that is truly extraordinary.

Our Collaborators

Our ceramic partners understand the organic relationship between hand and clay. They provide the kiln-fired textures and earthen glazes that complement the clean lines of our furniture and memorials.

The Glassblowers

Working with molten light and fluid forms, our partner glass artists create vessels that offer a luminous contrast to our solid timber and industrial steel. Each piece is hand-blown right here in the Pacific Northwest.

Local Visionaries

Beyond the materials, we are proud to stand alongside the designers, welders, and builders of Olympia who are committed to turning this region into a stronghold of authentic craft.
