About Assemble

Andie Wurster and Emily Grosse teamed up in 2009 to create Assemble Gallery & Studio. Located in the Phinney Ridge area of Seattle, Assemble integrates a gallery space, a workshop studio, and a retail shop to host creativity of all kinds. Our mission is to showcase craft as modern art, while teaching both traditional and avant-garde crafting techniques in a workshop environment. Assemble also offers opportunities for custom events (birthdays, bridals, bands) and a shop full of hand-made and inspired gifts. We see Assemble as a gallery of inspiration and ideas: a place for people to assemble, make, and do.
