Become a Joinery Resident Artist

A studio + gallery + workshop platform for working craftspeople.

What does it mean to be a Joinery Resident Artist?

Crafthouse culture

Dedicated studio space to make your craft. Beloved location sell your wares.

You have a dedicated studio under one roof with a carefully curated cohort. Your work is made on-site. Your process is respected. Your time is protected.

Out front, your pieces live in a gallery store that’s truly visited—because Joinery is also a neighborhood gathering place. People come for coffee, to browse, to talk, to watch craft happening. And to leave with something they’ll use every day.

This isn’t a vendor shelf. It’s a crafthouse designed to make your practice sustainable.

Studio + shared resources

  • Dedicated studio space (private/semi-private depending on layout)
  • Access to shared zones: packing/backstock, classroom, equipment bay, wet/cleanup
  • A build designed around workflow: make → finish → pack → restock

Gallery shop representation

  • Retail gallery stocked from resident production
  • Merchandising, pricing strategy, and sell-through discipline led by Joinery
  • Storytelling: maker profiles, process, drops, seasonal features

Teaching built into the rhythm

  • Each resident maker teaches one seminar/workshop per month
  • Joinery handles promotion, enrollment, and customer experience logistics
  • Classes are meant to be real instruction—small groups, high quality

Got questions?

Six resident studios operate under one roof. The work isn’t imported. It isn’t mass produced. It’s designed, built, and finished in our space by a carefully curated cohort of makers.

Who is this for?
Working craftspeople who want a consistent home base: studio + retail + teaching, with a clear standard of quality and a real community.
What kinds of makers are you seeking?

Primarily: ceramics, textiles, woodwork, and functional home goods.

We’ll consider adjacent crafts that fit the ethos. Quiet, modern, useful, soulful. So show us what you got.

How many resident studios?

Target 4–6 resident studios for 2027, curated to work well together.

What is expected of residents?
  • Maintain studio professionalism and safety
  • Participate in the cohort culture
  • Teach one workshop/seminar per month
  • Provide inventory on a predictable cadence (agreed targets)
Do I have to be “on display” while I work?
No performance required. The space is designed so process can be visible without being intrusive. You’ll have control over what’s shown and when. Some making is naturally public-facing; some is not.
How does the gallery split work?
Joinery sells your work and retains a commission; you retain the remainder. We’re designing the agreement so makers can choose lower rent in exchange for a higher sales share (aligned incentives, reduced risk).
