Since 2016, Liz Wright has been bringing people together to learn new skills in a fun social environment, both in-person and online, with Assembly. From starting with occasional pop-up workshops at local venues in Portland, to running her own full-time classroom studio (Assembly PDX), and then shifting to the virtual space in 2020- it's been a rewarding and exciting journey so far. Not to say that running a business through a global pandemic has always been stress-free (yikes!), but the enduring universal human need for connection and creativity has kept Assembly successfully afloat and sailing onward.
