The house rules

Short version: this is a reading catalog. Use it like a book, buy like a grown-up, and the house rules stay short.

What these pages are

Everything on this site is descriptive: sizes, materials, uses, opinions on rice. We keep it accurate and current to the best of the workshop’s ability, but the live listing at our retail partner is the binding source for price, stock and delivery at the moment you order.

Buying happens elsewhere

When you follow a button to the partner’s site, the partner’s terms take over: their checkout, their delivery, their return window. Any dispute about an order is between you and the partner, resolved by their process.

Our content

The texts, photos arrangement and guides here are ours. Quote them with a link and we are flattered; scrape them wholesale and we are not.

No promises beyond the obvious

We promise the pieces are what we say they are. We do not promise a basket will survive a car door or that rice will improve your week, though the second one has decent odds.
