What it is:
A large studio offering classes for individuals and groups, ready to help patrons transform unfinished materials like wood and glassware into home goods with personality.
Where to find it:

What makes it a Rhody Gem?
Love a good craft session? Hammer & Stain Wickford keeps its expansive studio stocked with materials that range from trendy supplies like resin to craft staples such as wooden signs and charcuterie boards. With a vast variety of workshops, teen parties, and camp programs, the studio offers a project for everyone. Armed with an art degree, AJ Bothum grew up sand-blasting redwood signs and etching glassware for her father’s company, and has created a welcoming environment where folks can enjoy making stuff. Typical classes can last two to three hours so participants are welcome to bring along snacks and drinks. When asked if artistic talent is required to take a workshop, Bothum says, “Just bring your DIY attitude and a willingness to learn and you will create a project you will be proud of!”
