I do! Beginning Spring 2025, I’m opening up the Tennessee wedding and memorial flower preservation division of Sapphire Wood Studio. I promise the same level of detail, attention and customer service we provide during Beers and Boards classes.
-
There are some great businesses that specialize in wedding and memorial flower preservation in Middle Tennessee. I’m new and have a just a small group of satisfied customers to point to. For that reason, I’m offering promotional prices through spring and summer 2025.
-
These always sell out but 2 new classes go on sale each month. The best way to find out about them first is to sign up for our email club.
-
Absolutely not. The epoxy resin class if for beginners and experienced woodworkers. I’ll teach you all about working with resin and bring the proper gear to keep you safe. Nobody has felt outmatched yet.

I’m aiming for a small resin river class for Fall 2025. Sign up for the email list to be the first to find out.

For resin river trays and similar, I use JDiction High Gloss Epoxy Resin. I also use and sell Let’s Resin casting resin. There are other high quality products but I like the versatility, quality and price point of these two brands.
-
Yes! If there is something special you’d like to cast in resin, let’s talk.
-
Absolutely! I’ve done small projects like laser engraving to custom bookshelves and more. Signs (business and personal) are a specialty but I also spent hours trying t make the perfect engagement ring box.
-
I’m open to it. The hard part is finding the right venue. I don’t think you want to set up in your living room. I bet we can figure that out.
-
We travel! Cedar Glade Brews is our home in Rutherford County but please let us know if you’d like to do a pop-up class somewhere else.
-
Yes. Cedar Glade Brews is all ages but I’d not recommend this class for anyone younger than 13 years old.
-
Not really. I mean I can but it’s not my bread and butter and my studio isn’t large enough to do big pieces. However if you’re struggling with a custom idea, let me know.
-
We make wood art that works. Sapphire Wood Studio creates original home goods and custom signs, with an eye on tailoring to your personal tastes or needs. This means serving trays, charcuterie boards, mosaics, wedding and baby shower gifts, barn quilts and more.

Shopkeeper Amanda Stephenson is a wood-builder with a teacher’s heart. After raising three boys, the long-time elementary art teacher bought a few new tools and fine-tuned her knack for creating one-of-a-kind home solutions to create Sapphire Wood Studio, serving Murfreesboro, Middle Tennessee and beyond.

We call Middle Tennessee (Murfreesboro) home but do business across the United States. My husband and I grew up in Michigan, so we speak Midwest too!
