Online Business Course For Furniture Makers
Business
We know that when a customer invests in a handmade piece of furniture they’re less likely to throw it away.
It’s our mission to see more custom furniture in people’s homes across the world and less crap in landfill. Rather than expanding and producing more furniture ourselves we know we can have more impact globally if we use our skills to help other makers successfully run their businesses
OUR MISSION
More Successful Makers
= Less Crap in Landfill.
