Welcome to Hammer & Stain Beach Cities! Hi, I’m Vivian! We’re a family-owned and run DIY creative studio in the heart of Downtown Torrance, where creativity, community and a whole lot of fun come together. I run the studio with my husband Steve, our daughters Kayleigh and Kariene, and our son-in-law Harrison. Since opening in 2024, we’ve wanted it to feel like coming over to our house: oldies-but-goodies playing, plenty of laughs, and nobody watching the clock.Our passion has always been bringing people together, creating memories and helping others discover their creative side. We believe everyone has a little creativity in them, even if they don’t know it yet!The magic moment:One of our favorite things is watching someone walk in saying, “I’m not creative!” and leave proudly holding their finished project, saying, “Wait… I actually made that?!” With step-by-step guidance and a little encouragement, everyone finds their crafty side. That moment is what keeps us inspired.What we create:We make wood signs and home décor, resin art, sea glass trees, ceramics, hat and purse burning, candle making and unique seasonal projects. We also run kids camps and Toddler Time story hours with local authors. We’re always learning and introducing new experiences, and a lot of our ideas come from our family travels, where folk art and quirky little shops spark something we bring home to the studio. We also bring in talented guest instructors for specialty workshops like kokedama and cookie decorating.Who we’ve welcomed:We’ve welcomed families, friends, couples, corporate teams and community organizations. We’ve also partnered with the YMCA on kids craft camps and launched a crafters’ book club with a local bookshop. Whether you’re celebrating something special, enjoying a girls’ night out, connecting with coworkers or simply trying something new, our goal is always the same: make everyone feel welcome, inspired and proud of what they’ve created.For us, it’s about so much more than crafting. It’s the laughter around the tables, the friendships made, the confidence gained, and the memories that last long after the paint dries.No experience needed. Zero judgment. All the good vibes.We can’t wait to welcome you into our creative family. Come make something beautiful, get a little messy, and most importantly, have FUN! Here, strangers become makers, and makers become family.CREATE. CONNECT. UNWIND.The Hammer & Stain Family
