"Make the things. Sell the things."
Welcome to Studio 23
We are a makers collective that fosters creativity, provides opportunity to connect with the community and collaborate with other creatives in the form of small events, classes, and shared work space.
We provide a brick and mortar for makers to work, sell their products, and inspire creativity.

April Howton
April Howton had called the Shoals home since 2003.
April has been an entrepreneur since age seven and was raised with the motto "see a need, fill a need" so her passion for building and making things from wood comes naturally due to the fact she was raised in the wood shop with her father.
You can see a lot of her custom wooden pieces in homes across the Shoals. She loves creating a small piece of "home" for everyone.
