Beacon Craft Studio. New Haven, CT. 

I’m Meredith, a queer Asian American leather worker with a passion for handcrafting beautiful and durable leather goods ranging from wallets to custom harnesses. I draw inspiration from tarot, queer & AAPI culture, D&D, and my two cats. Sustainability is important to me, and I offer repairs and restoration of pre-loved leather goods so that their owners can continue to treasure them rather than send old items to the landfill. 

Mark Donovan. New Haven, CT.

Rooted in craftsmanship, my woodworking practice blends functional design with form to create everyday items. I work primarily with reclaimed and natural wood, especially wood from local trees in New Haven and greater Connecticut. lThe result is work that feels both grounded and expressive—objects meant to be used, noticed, and shared.
