About

The Heart Behind The Artful Table

I’ve always dreamed of creating a space where people could come together and experience something meaningful.

At The Artful Table, creating something beautiful with your own hands and learning something new are wonderful parts of the experience, but the vision goes beyond that.

It’s about giving yourself time to slow down and enjoy the moment. It’s about meeting people you may never have met otherwise, sharing conversations and laughter, forming new connections, and creating memories along the way.

My hope is that when you leave The Artful Table, you take home more than what you created. You leave with the feeling that your time was well spent, that you experienced something meaningful, and perhaps that a new connection has begun.

That is what I dreamed The Artful Table could be.

The Table, Between Workshops

What people made, what is going on the calendar next, and the room before anyone arrives.

Honestly

No reviews yet.

This is a new business, so there is nothing here written by somebody else, and nothing invented to cover the gap. The first reviews come from the people at the next few tables. Until then, here is what every workshop is.

  • Everything included

    Materials are laid out before the door opens, and there is coffee.

  • Twelve people, not a hall

    Seats are capped so the room stays small enough to be shown something.

  • You leave with it

    Whatever gets made in the room belongs to the person who made it.

It is the Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with a visible seam of gold. Nothing about the break is hidden. The repair becomes part of the piece, and the bowl is worth more for having been broken than it was before.

Kintsugi, mandala art, mosaic, stencil art, decoupage, candle making, soap and body butter. The list grows as new workshops are planned.

No. Nothing here assumes you have done it before, and each activity is taught from the beginning.

Every material and tool you need for the workshop. You bring nothing and you leave with what you made.

Yes. Cancel at least 48 hours before the workshop and you are refunded in full. Inside 48 hours the seat cannot be refunded, because the materials for it have already been bought.
