Crafting Creativity. Building Community
Welcome to The Carpenter's House
Walk into The Carpenter’s House and you’ll smell sawdust and hear live music at the same time. That’s kind of the whole point.
What You'll Find Here
Under our roof, you’ll find original fine art from local artists, priced anywhere from around $200 to $20,000, hanging on 20-foot walls under gorgeous natural light. Since opening our doors in December 2025, we’ve become part gallery, part workshop, part concert venue, and part neighborhood living room. You can come look at original art, take a class, hear a local musician play, or just hang out. Open Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with appointments available outside of that. Once a month, we throw a Featured Artist Showcase: one artist, live music, local vendors, good food, and a room full of people getting to know their work. It’s become a bit of a signature night for us.
Why We Exist
Olympia didn’t have a place like this, so Justin made one. A space where a woodworker, a painter, a musician, and a family looking for a fun Saturday afternoon can all show up and find something for them. We wanted somewhere kid-friendly, welcoming, and a little bit magical, where craft and art and music aren’t separate worlds but all part of the same room.
Our goal is simple: give Olympia a creative home base. A place where local artists have somewhere real to show and sell their work, where makers can access the tools and materials they need, and where the community has a reason to gather, again and again.
