About Main Street Studio

Main Street Studio is inspired by the notion that it’s always better to make than to buy, but when we do buy, we should try our best to buy small and keep it local. We are focused on this mission holistically, as a place for our community to learn to make, a space for making, and a shop to buy well-made, beautiful and useful items made in and around our community.
