Our Partners
Our Creative Partners
At Workshop, we believe in the joy of learning, creating, and coming together. Our space is built on creativity, connection, and celebration, and our programming is thoughtfully curated in collaboration with a small group of trusted, long-standing partners who share our values and vision.
These instructors, artists, and educators help bring Workshop to life through experiences that feel intentional, welcoming, and deeply rooted in community. From wellness and movement to art, play, and creative exploration, each offering is designed with care and aligned with the heart of Workshop.
To support consistency, quality, and sustainability, our class offerings are produced exclusively through our existing partner relationships. For those interested in hosting their own classes, meetings, or gatherings, Workshop is available as a space rental during select times.
We’re proud of the creative community that already calls Workshop home and grateful to collaborate with partners who help make this space what it is.
