Our Story

Welcome to The Crafting Table! We’re a small business with big love for creativity, community, and personal touches, right here in Haslett, MI.

The Crafting Table started in 2024 when Shannon Hartwick—a bit of a creative adventurer—brought her years of laser engraving expertise and community spirit to her own shop. After six years of mastering the art at AP Lazer, she decided it was time to carve out her own path (literally). Shannon’s experience as a realtor and a teacher has given her a special knack for connecting with people and an understanding of what makes something truly memorable. She’s also been known to rally the community for school fundraisers and loves giving back.

Inspired by the crafting tables found in some favorite video games, The Crafting Table is about taking your ideas and turning them into real, beautiful, lasting pieces—whether it’s a custom gift, unique home décor, or a branded item for your business.

Here, it’s not just about making things; it’s about making things meaningful. We’re here to help you create pieces that tell your story, with a little craftsmanship, a lot of heart, and maybe even a smile or two along the way.

Thanks for stopping by, and we can’t wait to work with you!
