Technically speaking, the Ornatelier is not gone. Or hasn't gone anywhere. In practical reality, the studio for applied arts is partially shuttered while I build up Cut & Dry Lumber Company. And Dovetail Community Workshop. And a few other side projects, because I'm unable to slow my roll these days. |
Dovetail Community Workshop is a makerspace -- basically a gym for woodworking. We have all the equipment you need to get your project from the back of the napkin to the state fair. (Please adjust that workflow to reflect your actual design process and final project destination...) Dovetail is mostly volunteer-run, and offers both formal and information training for woodworkers of all skill levels. I teach there, and do woodworking there, and have learned a great deal myself. It's a great scene, and if you're curious, I highly recommend checking it out.
If you or someone you know is interested in one of these projects, please take the first step of reaching out. There is contact information for the mill and the workshop on their respective web sites, and we would be more than happy to help you move your project forward, whatever that project may be.
