Would Works Celebrates 10 Years!
Thanks to everyone who joined us for The Sawdust Soiree, a celebration of 10 years of Would Works on December 11, 2022.
We enjoyed hosting our community of Board members, volunteers, case workers, past and present Artisans, customers, vendors, supporters and friends. We hope this is the first of many in-person public events we will host in our new, light-filled workshop space in LA's bustling garment district. We hope you'll join us!
The Sawdust Soiree featured fun woodworking workshops sponsored by Walrus Oil where WW Artisans taught participants how to make wood photo holders and candle holders...
...a pop up holiday market of Would Works wares...
...delicious food and drinks from Skid Row Coffee and our sponsors at Pine and Crane and Heirloom LA...
...inspiring speeches from Artisans past and present...
...awards and recognitions for our outstanding community partners...
and a photobooth that captured all kinds of silliness.

Nick Offerman Partners with Would Works to Empower At-Risk Angelenos Through Woodworking
Nick Offerman has partnered with Would Works, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that teaches woodworking skills to at-risk Angelenos. These skills can lead to careers in industries like construction, set-building, and carpentry.
Beyond woodworking, Offerman highlights the “incredibly benevolent and warm humanism” at the heart of Would Works. "We're giving people … mental health, counseling, job counseling, life coaching. It's a place to say, 'Come on in, I see you, I care about you, I recognize the trouble you might be having. Here's a sandwich, here's a bowl of soup. Now, this is a hand plane,'" Offerman said.
