Wandern Forge Studio

11/19/2025

Hey all, this year I have decided to close our studio early. With my husband away I want to be all-in and focused on the kids. Making sure we all get an extra special season to keep spirits up. Plus enjoy a little holiday magic I would normally miss out on ☺️.

So please note- ordering will officially be CLOSED for the 2025 year on November 11th. I want to thank everyone for their support this year. May everyone have a lovely New Year and I will see you in the next one!

**Weekly Reorders have been stocked through the remainder of the year. So for who this applies to, you will still be able to pick up as usual**

YA’LL how cute are these mini totes from The Home Depot?!

Behind the scenes look into my mind while wandering my happiest of places. When I’m out I look for ways to be creative. Found these and I knew, I had something amazing! Check it, these mini totes but made into the CUTEST boo/holiday baskets. Even some cute Fathers Day ones for that time of year. I grabbed a few of these today to see just what I can do with them 😍

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ciarra Slifer and we've shared our conversation below. Hi Ciarra, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally? Well at first I didn’t. In fact I was a nurse for many years, studied and became a midwife. Through that I found I truly love to m

🎨✨ Keepin’ busy over here✨🎨

The studio is in full swing, and the sawdust might as well be glitter at this point 😅. Running a small business with two kiddos and a husband deployed is not for the weak. I have been surviving though and would say starting to get a good routine going. With that as well we’ve got a TON of new designs cookin’ and we cannot wait for them to drop. Just in time perfect for those back-to-school vibes! The launch will be August 1st so make sure to follow if you don’t 🚌✏️👟

AND just a reminder… the Seitz Elementary Fundraiser is still OPEN until August 10th!
Let’s show some extra love to those amazing P.E. teachers who keep our kiddos movin’ and groovin’. 🏃‍♂️💥🏀

NOTE: 👉 When you donate, we’ll gift you $10 EXTRA on top of your donation to spend in our shop on anything your heart desires. Because supporting schools should feel as good as fresh paint on a canvas 🎁✨

So whether you’re grabbing gear for school, shopping gifts, or just wanna treat yourself—you’re also giving back. Total win-win. 🙌

Hey all!

Life update because I’ve been very MIA on posting and slow to all of our messages. First I want to apologize but thank everyone for understanding. Second Michaels deployment has began and with that I’m wrangling 2 kiddos, 2 pups, life needs and a hamster solo lol.

We are doing great though! You all have kept me so busy and I’m thankful for it but such a learningg curve this has been 😅🫶. So check out some of the recent pieces we’ve had the pleasure of making and keep em coming because it keeps me sane.

Had the BEST time making this custom plaque for a soldier in the Pathfinder Platoon! 💥 Fallout’s Vault Boy got the ultimate camo glow-up—and I’m obsessed. 😎💀

Y’all your cool ideas could be made into some Legendary pieces! Message me TODAY because they deserve to be made real!

No better way to start the day than with a coffee from HÅFA JAVA by R&A 😍
