Studio

Working from our 1902 Capitol Hill Carriage House.

The Workhorse studio and workshop.
Located just south of Massachusetts Ave, the studio is housed in the historic 1855 W. Walter’s Son Carriage Manufacturing building— one of a few remaining horse carriage production buildings in the city. Craftsmen constructed horse carriages that powered Washington, DC for over 100 years. We’ve grown into our studio over the last few years, starting as a one man desk in an unfinished carriage house to a two floor operation including a full working studio. Now we’re here, continuing the tradition of craft.
