Joe Hastings

Head of Shenanigans & Sawdust

Welcome to the place where curiosity, passion, and the thrill of creating all collide.


For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to making things—shaping ideas into something you can touch, see, or feel. What started in childhood as simple projects grew into a lifelong pursuit of learning, building, experimenting, and finding new ways to express the things that matter to me.

​

I create because it brings me alive. Because there’s a certain kind of joy in watching something take shape under your hands, and a certain compassion in making things that others can connect with. Whether it’s woodworking, laser design, backyard sanctuaries, written stories, or whatever new craft pulls me in next, every project begins with the same heartbeat: a desire to bring a little more beauty, meaning, or curiosity into the world.

​

This studio isn’t confined to one skill or one style. It’s a living collection of passions—pieces built with intention, shaped with emotion, and fueled by a love for both the process and the people who resonate with it. The work here reflects the excitement of learning something new, the patience it takes to refine it, and the quiet satisfaction of seeing it all come together.

​

Sanctuary Studios is where creativity is allowed to grow wild.
Where ideas turn into spaces, stories, artwork, and moments of wonder.


Where inspiration comes from trying, from failing, from learning, and from the simple joy of making something real.

Remember: Failure is just proof you're trying.
