Suesca, Cundinamarca
The woodworking craft returns to the community.
We have launched the first rural lab for bespoke design and carpentry. A free space for young people, women, and local entrepreneurs, powered by design and craftsmanship.
Our purpose
"Believing in the craft is believing in the territory"
In a digitized world, transforming raw materials with our hands is an act of freedom, autonomy, and design. Open Workshop is not just a carpentry school; it is a community space where technical knowledge is democratized so that children, youth, and adults can build their own future, from scratch and at no cost.✽ Meaningful training
Three paths to learn, create, and venture
Creative Seedbed
Children and Youth
Playful introduction to design and motor development. They learn the basic concepts of wood by building toys and utilitarian objects using hand tools under 100% safe processes.
Carpentry and author work
Women and adults from scratch
Technical autonomy and overcoming the fear of tools. An intensive module to design and manufacture basic furniture (benches, shelves, joints) with aesthetic criteria and technical precision.
Open Workshop
Emprendimiento local
A 'trade-based co-working' model. Graduates of the core modules get mentorship and workshop access to prototype their business ideas or fix their community.
We seek Strategic Alliances
Become the technical engine of our community
We are looking for allies and partners in the tool and machinery industry looking to turn their investment into high-impact content and genuine social responsibility. We don’t ask for passive donations; we build brand assets.
What we contribute
Production of video bites, tutorials, and the web series 'From Scratch to Carpenter,' showcasing your tools in action through inspiring local stories.
Your machinery will take center stage in a technical testing ground, where products withstand hard, everyday use.
Align your brand with economic development, gender equity, and the decentralization of technical education.
