A New Look, A New Feel, A New Way to Create at Hammer & Stain Wickford

Something new is happening at Hammer & Stain Wickford — and we're so excited to share it with you.

We've been dreaming, designing, painting, rearranging, and creating behind the scenes, and the studio is beginning to take on a whole new personality. We're embracing a New England coastal vibe inspired by the places we love most — Rhode Island shorelines, weathered wood, sea glass, oyster shells, soft coastal colors, nautical details, and that relaxed feeling of a day by the water.

But this rebrand is about more than a new look.

It's about creating a studio that feels like a place you actually want to stay awhile.

Welcome to The Makers Table

One of the biggest changes coming to the studio is The Makers Table — our new craft café experience, where the menu is made up of creative projects instead of food.

Choose a project, grab a seat, and spend a little time making something you'll actually want to take home. We're adding more coastal-inspired projects, seasonal creations, and smaller projects that make it easy to drop in, create, connect, and enjoy some creative time without committing to a traditional workshop.

And Yes… There's a Lounge

We're also creating a cozy little lounge area in the studio — because sometimes the people who come along aren't the ones making the project.

Maybe you're a mom waiting while your child celebrates a birthday. Maybe you're catching up with friends while they create. Maybe you're hosting a gathering and want a comfortable place for everyone to mingle, snack, sip, and relax.

So we're making room for that, too.

Think comfortable seating, coastal style, good conversation, snacks, drinks, and a little breathing room. And yes — BYOB is welcome. Bring your beverage of choice, set out some snacks, and make yourself comfortable. Whether it's a girls' night, a birthday celebration, a private gathering, or simply a few friends getting together, we want the studio to feel like a place where you can relax and enjoy being together.

Creating More Than Crafts

At the heart of all of this is something that has always been important to us:

Creating is better together.

We want Hammer & Stain Wickford to be more than a place where you come to make a sign or complete a project. We want it to be a place where you can slow down, laugh with friends, meet someone new, try something different, and leave with something you made yourself.

The new coastal look is simply the backdrop for that experience.

So as we bring in new projects, new colors, new displays, The Makers Table, and our cozy lounge space, we hope you'll come along for the transformation.

A little more coastal. A little more relaxed. A lot more creative.

Welcome to the new Hammer & Stain Wickford.
Come create. Come connect. Come coastal. 🌊
