Why This Workshop? 🌟
Ornaments tell stories. Years from now, when you pull these handcrafted icicles from the box, you'll remember the morning you discovered the magic of the lathe. And if you're gifting them? Each person receives a piece of art you made with your own hands—not a mass-produced decoration, but a genuine keepsake that'll hang on their tree year after year, becoming part of their family's holiday story.
These aren't just ornaments; they're heirloom pieces in the making. The kind that get carefully wrapped each January, that spark conversations each December, that eventually get passed down with the story: "Your grandmother/friend/aunt made these back in 2025."
