About Full Circle CraftWorks

Hello! Welcome to Full Circle Craftworks. We are Hannah & Chris Blackburn, two people who love making things, and this is our story. Our journey together as artists and makers began many years ago while we both were undergrads at the Rhode Island School of Design. In addition to developing an excellent sense of design, we each learned a multitude of different skills and techniques ranging from welding and fine metal working to traditional woodworking, to sculpting and casting and more. We both have a deep love and admiration for beautiful handmade objects and the traditions of craftsmanship from which they come. We are now living on a 22 acre homestead farm in a log cabin on a dirt road in Maine. We have 3 large vegetable gardens, a small fruit orchard and raise animals. Our 3 children help with all of the farm chores, from feeding the animals to stacking firewood, as well as planting and harvesting. There is never a shortage of lessons to be learned or new discoveries to be made. The homestead is far from self sufficient, but we have made it our ambition to try to do a little more each year with self sufficiency as the eventual goal. Life is an amazing journey, it’s path has many unexpected twists and turns that can lead us to wonderful and inspiring places we never would have imagined. And sometimes it comes full circle.Read their story
