What’s Inspiring Perrywinks

Perrywinks, your neighborhood crafty makerspace and drinks cafe, is coming soon to Kettering, Ohio! We’re absolutely thrilled, but we have quite a way to go before opening our doors. Once we secure a lease, we will kickstart a process to update the space in a full build-out.

In the meantime, we thought we should get to know each other a bit better! We’re excited to invest in our community here in Dayton, and also build a wider collective of like-minded folks wherever you are. 

You can find some history and background, including about our naming process, on our website’s History page.

Announcing Our Project Titles

As we work on securing a building, we’re embarking on a 4-week digital tour of what’s behind Perrywinks. The four projects below stand as our manifesto, a series that captures our core motivations and pulls the web of motivations into four distinct groupings. Each week is meant to be a mini project for you to observe, share, or participate in however you want to, with thought-provoking commentary, downloadable products, ideas you can do at home.

In the coming weeks, look out for:

Project Rainbow Unicorn

Project Canon

Project Memory

Project Collective

We’ll share most content (images, links, at-home prompts) on Instagram throughout the week. You can also subscribe to our newsletter for a post notification with all the week’s content in one go (and you can stay on top of future emails from Perrywinks!) Everything will be posted on our blog - Ponderstock - for an archive resource if you ever want to return to a project.
