Splinters-N~-Rust was launched out of a desire for a creative outlet while being a stay-at-home mom to two small children. 

 

The DIY Workshop serves as a studio space for local artists, but also a public makerspace for creative classes.  The space is open to other area artist to teach classes as well.
