About Element 3 Workshop
A small Midwestern family workshop built around making things.
Element 3 Workshop is a family-owned craft business with a simple reason for existing: we genuinely enjoy creating useful, fun, personal things for other people.
Why we do this
Retirement is more fun when you still get to make something.
We are a small Midwestern family-owned craft business. We are not trying to be a giant factory or fill a warehouse with identical products. We do this because we love doing it, because learning new tools keeps life interesting, and because retirement is a lot more fun when there is always another idea to try.
For us, the best projects are the ones that start with a conversation: a household problem that needs a clever solution, a shirt that should exist but does not, a personalized gift, an award that needs more personality, or a strange little idea that makes someone say, “Could you make this?”
Our workshop mindset
Curated, custom and a little bit curious.
Family owned
Small enough to care about the project, the story behind it and whether the finished piece feels right.
Technology + craft
We combine 3D printing, DTF transfers, laser engraving and UV printing with hands-on finishing and practical judgment.
Made for real people
Our goal is not endless inventory. It is making custom curated crafts that are useful, fun, personal or simply worth smiling about.
