There's something that happens when you make things with your hands. The mind slows down. The noise goes quiet. It doesn't matter what you're working on, the act of making does something good for mind, body, and soul.
We started BYOP because making alone at home is fine. Making together is soooooo much better. There's a different energy in a room full of people doing their own thing, side by side. You look up, you talk, you get back to work. Nobody's performing. Everybody's just making.
No screens. No scrolling. Just hands and material and time. It's good for kids, good for adults, good for anyone who spends too much of their day staring at a device. And yes, that’s most of us. Our devices are melting our brains. Sometimes, I can just feel my brain ooooozing. Ugh.
And something else happens when you start making things yourself. You begin to understand what goes into the things other people make. The hours. The decisions. The patience. The perseverance. You stop seeing a price tag and start seeing a person. That's a good shift.
If you’re painting or sculpting, please bring your own water and protective coverings. The chairs, tables, and tablecloths were a big investment by Matthew Schnepf and Munawar Ahmed. It’s incredibly important that everything is respected, maintained, and kept in pristine condition.

Join us every Friday evening, starting at 4:00 PM. Pack a little bag with everything you need for your current project, bring some refreshments for yourself, and walk right in. We’ll be on the ground floor of the barn with several tables and chairs set up. Take a seat, settle in, enjoy yourself!
