COMING SOON TO OAK CLIFF, TEXAS

creative hubs

The heart of Rough Draft—five spaces, endless possibilities.

Our Creative Hubs are where ideas take shape. Each hub is dedicated to a specific craft—equipped with professional tools, guided by practicing artisans, and designed to make creativity more accessible than ever. Whether you’re learning a new skill, experimenting with materials, or refining your practice, the hubs are built for exploration, growth, and connection.

our vision for the hubs

The Creative Hubs exist to break down barriers between people and the tools of making. Too often, professional equipment is locked away behind closed studios or steep costs. By bringing pottery wheels, letterpresses, soldering tools, and more into one shared space, we’re opening the door for Oak Cliff’s artists, neighbors, and curious beginners alike.

We envision the hubs becoming more than just workspaces. They’re gathering points—where a first attempt at clay sparks a lifelong passion, where seasoned artisans mentor new makers, and where the community comes together to learn, collaborate, and create. Rough Draft’s hubs are a celebration of experimentation and a shared belief that everyone deserves the chance to make.
