The Makers’ Circle

open studio for makers, artists, and dreamers

Welcome to The Makers' Circle—a vibrant creative sanctuary at Hewman Studios where collaboration, inspiration, and artistic freedom thrive. The Makers' Circle is not a class—it’s a community-driven space where you have the freedom to explore, create, and connect. There are no agendas or pressure—just time to focus on your craft, receive feedback, and draw inspiration from fellow makers. Whether you're refining a sculpture, sketching new concepts, or simply need a place to unwind and create, this space is yours to use at your own pace.
