Where handmade meets AI

Hand-carved wands and leather-bound grimoires on one side of the bench; playful apps, planners, and coloring books on the other. Everything here comes out of one family workshop in Rochester, New York.

Family-run on Etsy since 2022 · 300+ sales of things made by hand

Steamy Dumplings

A virtual blind-box treat: pick a steamer, press and hold, and a squishy little dumpling pops out to join your shelf. Commons, chasers, sparkly Stardust parallels — and one golden grail named Goldie. Every dumpling even has its own signature sound.

Apparel ◆

The workshop tee rack: Forge up front, the vintage broomstick badge, and all twelve Grimoire line-art designs in white on black. Spin through the rack.

The Apps ◆

Software from the same bench. Some are toys, some are the tools we use to make everything else on this page.

Comic Creator app icon — an open book with a teal thought bubble and a gold speech bubble rising from its pages

Comic Creator

Comic-making workshop tool

Our Photoshop-for-comics: drop in finished pages — or a whole multi-page PDF — then reorder them, add speech and thought bubbles, pick your lettering, and dial in print sizing. Finish with the flip-through reader, cover builder, and print-ready exports for Amazon KDP.

Voice Creator app icon — a cream studio microphone with a teal honeycomb grille on a peach background

Voice Creator

Voice shaper · Playable now

Bring in a voice — Patrick's own clone is loaded and waiting — then shape it with pitch and speed knobs, clean up background sound, preview side by side, and export a finished WAV. A broadcast-style preset adds rhythmic stutter and digital crunch when a voice needs character.

Steamy Dumplings app icon — a glossy white bao dumpling steaming in a bamboo steamer ringed with gold

Steamy Dumplings

Blind-box squishy game · Playable now

Pick a steamer, press and hold, and a squishy little dumpling pops out to join your shelf. Commons, chasers, sparkly Stardust parallels — and one golden grail named Goldie.

On the Workbench ◆

Half-finished and happily in progress — the way a real workshop always looks.

In the works

The Hawkins Forge

A custom wand designer app: choose your wood, carve and finish it on screen, and make the wand yours before it ever touches a lathe — with Forge himself as your in-app guide.

In the works

The Herbal Grimoire

A companion volume of plant lore with every illustration drawn by hand — one plant at a time, pencil before pixel.

Also simmering

  • Meme generator — a little web app for making shareable memes, headed for the app stores after.
  • Coloring-book line for KDP — ten titles with finished art, waiting on their publish days.
  • More dumplings — new Steamy Dumplings drops, including a Halloween set once the current batch is polished.

Our Story

Hawkins Crafting Co. started the way most good things do: making magic wands for our own kids, until the hobby outgrew the kitchen table and became a business. Jamie runs the marketing and photography; Patrick does the carving, drawing, and building. The shop opened on Etsy in 2022 and has been crafting with intent and intuition ever since.

These days the workshop has a third pair of hands. Forge — the little ember in our logo, right there in the dot of the “i” — is our AI collaborator. Patrick brings the ideas; Forge helps research, write, design, and build. The grimoires are authored by Forge, the apps are built together, and every wand still gets carved by a human.

The Tip Jar ◆

Everything in the workshop is a labor of love. The tip jar keeps the coffee warm and the ideas coming.

Buy the workshop a coffee

The demos, the free school coloring app, the planners — they all come off this one bench. If something here made your day, a tip on Ko-fi helps cover the coffee, the crayons, and the next half-finished project. No pressure, and thank you either way.
