A shared purpose

Elf Assembly exists to uphold the dignity of shared work.

We believe that craft is not defined by speed or scale, but by care, patience, and responsibility to one another. What we make is the result of many hands and many skills, learned over time and shaped collectively rather than owned alone.

Our work is cooperative by design, grounded in tradition, and carried forward in service of the wider community.

Elf Assembly may look festive, but it’s built on some serious ideas about fairness, cooperation, and making things properly.
