We make things.

Beautiful things. Challenging things. Useful things. We make things out of wood, metal, concrete, leather, and any other material we fancy. We make these things in a world-class studio, under the guidance of masters of craft. As we make things, we learn the steps to making a whole life.

We make questions rewarding and answers attainable. We teach by asking, and we model learning by searching for answers together. When asked by a news crew what he had received from the program, one apprentice explained, “I’ve learned how to learn.” 

Making Whole teaches apprentices how to build furniture because the craft provides a framework for learning how to solve complex problems. What the apprentice learns in the shop, he carries into his work, relationships, and life.

Men who commit to the process, learn and become whole.
