Workshops
The studio name "Hand to Heartwood" embodies the journey from hands-on craftsmanship to inner well-being. Our woodcarving workshops provide a creative outlet to combat digital fatigue and reconnect with tangible, meaningful work. Here, you'll find a space to unplug, refocus, and craft your way to wellness.
Watch this space for upcoming public workshops!

Unplug with a private "Crafting Wellness" workshop
Maria is an Indy-based tech startup alum who understands burnout firsthand. What better way to alleviate digital fatigue than with some exposure to artisan handwork?
​
Classes are designed to be engaging, offering hands-on woodcarving where we'll craft pieces such as comfort birds or whimsical mushrooms. For those who prefer activities without sharp tools, I also offer sessions like painting a woodcarving or painting a wooden ornament. Additionally, I lead woodcarving demonstrations, often accompanied by artisanal goodies.
No prior artistic experience required and newbies always welcomed and encouraged. We supply all tools and materials as needed.
Our space at the Indiana Artisan Gifts and Gallery Store at 22 N. Rangeline Rd. in Carmel, Indiana can accommodate groups of up to 10 participants for hands-on activities.
