The Barlesstender

The Barlesstender Handcrafted Las Vegas experiences from two makers — a storyteller-fabricator and an artist who brings a maker's eye and a sommelier's palate to every room.

Every great hero = a POWER + a FLAW + a MISSION.
That's the whole method. We can teach it to an 8-year-old in about nine minutes — and it's the reason a kid who "doesn't like writing" will fill a page without being asked twice.
Here's what we built with it.
Two Mondays. Week 1, your maker invents a hero that has never existed. Names its power. Names its flaw. Names its mission. Draws the blueprint. Then our print farm here in Las Vegas goes to work.
Week 2 is Reveal Day. Families in the room. Your maker walks up holding a 3D-printed statue of a hero that exists nowhere else on Earth, and tells everyone who it is and why it matters.
They don't take home a craft. They take home something they invented.
★ Ages 8–18 · No experience needed
★ 12 makers per cohort — that's a real cap, we don't stretch it ★ $110 per maker · Founding-Family rate $85 · Siblings $65 ★ Fall cohorts start Monday, July 27
Cohort 1 fills first — because Reveal Day for Cohort 1 is Design Day for Cohort 2, and the families who watch it want in. Comment FORGE and we'll send you the dates and the link. Or message us — we're two makers in Vegas, we answer our
own messages.

Working in events, I’ve watched thousands of dollars’ worth of flowers head for the garage after every celebration.
For our wedding, we chose something different. We partnered with a local farmer to grow herbs that we potted into planters — they became both our centerpieces and a living favor for each guest to take home.
All summer long, friends shared stories of their herbs thriving — tiny reminders of a beautiful day that kept on giving.
That moment inspired our Plant & Sip workshops, where guests leave with something alive — an experience that grows long after the event ends.
