Two smiling people, a woman and a man, stand arm-in-arm inside a wooden building with decorative wood plaques on the walls. The woman has blonde hair and is wearing a brown jacket and jeans, while the man has dark hair and a beard, wearing a green and black jacket and jeans. Above them, a sign reads, "May the long time sun shine on you." The walls are paneled with light wood.

After years of living in the Minneapolis area, we embarked on a new adventure by relocating to Ely, Minnesota. Inspired by countless visits to northern Minnesota's natural beauty, including the Boundary Waters, we chose Ely for its deep-rooted outdoor culture, hardworking community, and thriving artisan scene.

Kelly and Alex Woodworks is a handcrafted artisan shop specializing in woodburning, watercolor, laser engraving, and woodworking creations. Our products are hand-crafted and use traditional techniques and modern tools to create one-of-a-kind works. From intricate pyrography and watercolor designs to functional and stylish woodwork, our shop showcases the beauty and versatility of wood.

Beyond our physical creations, Kelly has been dedicated to helping others find their own sense of peace through Happiness Recharge. This series of nature-inspired books and mindfulness resources is designed to help you reconnect with your inner strength and find calm in a busy world.

Whether through a hand-etched piece of art or a reflective daily practice, our goal is to bring the grounding essence of the Great North into your home and heart.

Thank you for stopping by,

Kelly and Alex
