Lee Valley x Would Works

Lee Valley x Would Works

The last few months have been really exciting because we were invited to be apart of Canadian company Lee Valley's ongoing series, Inspired to Make. The series highlights different kinds of creative people, the work they make and the community they belong to. 

Inspired to Make features our Artisans and provides them with a platform to share their story and how they came to join the Would Works family.

By bringing awareness to the Artisans' stories we hope to bring inspiration and break down preconceived notions of what it means to be unhoused. 

We are extremely thankful for Lee Valley and the opportunity they have given us to spread our mission and the stories of our Artisans to a wider audience.
