ABOUT

The name “Wynona” means “eldest daughter” in several Native American languages. We come from an unbroken chain of eldest daughters, going back more than 5 generations. We cultivate a community between artist, student, and teacher, and we look forward to welcoming you into our community.

wynona studios consists of generations of daughters

Wynona Studios is an open, relaxed studio atmosphere where you can come to play with paper, paint, and fiber. We offer a place where you can learn to knit, crochet, spin, felt, dye with fiber, paint objects/furniture, decoupage, have parties and celebrations, knit-and crochet-alongs, and make cool things!

You can purchase a monthly membership to enjoy the studio space whenever we are open, a punchcard to come in whenever it is convenient, or pay by the day.

wynona studios has spinning wheels, weaving looms, sewing machines, winders and swifts, big tables, and a dye studio

We have spinning wheels, weaving looms, sewing machines, winders and swifts, big tables, and a dye studio. This is a place to get together and talk about the projects we are working on, classes, events and anything else!
Don’t forget to say hello to Studio Dog, Willson Baxter Bell Foster! He even has his own business card!!

We have a very limited supply of yarn available for purchase, mostly recycled yarns and “bare” yarn for dyeing. We offer many diverse classes and knit- and crochet-alongs as well as company, encouragement and advice when needed.

wynona studios has a storefront in oregon city with yarn for sale

Wynona Studios is different from the average art studio – we love being in the heart of historic downtown Oregon City. We get a lot of foot traffic in the studio and we look forward to expanding our retail hours and sales, and having fun craft parties!

See you there!

Greetings, nice ladies. I’m a “Wynona” too– the eldest of 5 daughters. And we rule! I’ve been searching for a drop-in spot to knit, and your shop has the required comfy chairs. I am *so* looking forward to becoming a fixture.

Hello, cousins! Just writing your Christmas card and was near a computer where I could -finally- check out your website. I love it, and I cannot wait to trek North and see it in person. I can already tell I will need at least a whole day just in the shop. Love how your shop honors Grandma Kelly, and I know she would be so tickled. Just love the website. Keep up the good work. I feel a little seed germinating in my head about getting Mom and Riley to come on a road trip…love you guys!! -Susan
