Day One: Complete Beginner.
Day Three: Furniture Maker.
You'll Create a $3,800 Waterfall Table with Your Own Hands
No Experience Necessary. Just Your Desire to Create Something Real.
Look at what's happening to us. We're glued to our screens. Distracted. Scrolling our lives away. Is any of this even real?
The Studio Roeper Experience is a path back to something real.
Three days where you step away from emails and Zoom calls, and rediscover what it feels like to create something beautiful with your hands—something that will last for generations.
⚠️ New Year's Weekend Session SOLD OUT
Only 4 spots available per session. When they're gone, they're gone.
Why I Created This Experience
For over two decades, I designed and built furniture for high-end clients and luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Dior. The time has come for me to open my studio doors to beginners of all ages, and to share my expertise and passion with you.
I've witnessed the transformation that happens when my students build something with their own hands. They start with zero experience, and three days later, they're standing in front of a gorgeous table they made—often in disbelief, and sometimes with tears in their eyes.
This journey is not just about building furniture. We're using woodworking as a form of meditation. As a way to ground ourselves in reality.
Crafting furniture requires our undivided attention—our senses are alert, focused, and alive. We're saying no to screens and scrolling. This is what brings us back to what's real.
This Is Not a Class—This Is an Apprenticeship
Each session is limited to four people, and I guide you one-on-one through every step of the way. You'll have my full attention, expertise, and 25 years of mastery at your fingertips.
Imagine This...
In just three days, you'll walk out with a waterfall side table that you built and the memories of an unforgettable experience. You'll see the unique grain patterns of the rare California black walnut slab YOU selected. This $3,800 piece of furniture didn't come from a store—you made it. With your own hands.
Your friends will ask where you bought it. You'll smile and say, "I didn't. I built it myself."
But here's what they won't see: the transformation that happened inside you during those three days.
Your Three-Day Transformation
Day One: Orientation & Selection
You'll arrive at the studio for an orientation—I'll walk you through the space, the tools, and what we'll create together. Then you'll select your wood slab from a collection of rare California black walnut slabs. One will call to you. Your transformation begins.
Day Two: Creation & Flow
You'll lose track of time as you shape, sand, and refine. The constant mental chatter quiets. You're completely absorbed. Your senses are alert, focused, and alive.
This is meditation through making.
Day Three: Completion & Transformation
Your table will come to life as we oil it on the final day—the grain deepens, the character emerges. You'll step back in disbelief at what you've made. Sometimes there are tears. Always, there's transformation.
You've learned something profound about patience, craft, and what you're capable of.
