The Bench Hello! Welcome to the Bench! I am Ashley the forever teacher and the perpetual juggler of things. Art was always a presence in my classroom and my home.

I taught and directed in early childhood education for over decade. The messier the art...the more fun! Even though I am no longer in the classroom, I often find myself in roles to teach others in both my own educational endeavors and in my career. My family and I enjoy spending time outdoors. I find a lot of inspiration from nature. I cannot wait to meet you and share my love for art with you!

The Bench was created to cover the many different things we love creating, from the artist's bench where we paint, the work bench in our workshop that creates many of our holiday and home decor items, the garden bench where we work in our garden that supplies fresh ingredients for our seasoning and rubs, to the "bench" in our kitchen where we craft our seasonings and rubs, jams and jellies, and self-care items.

We are working to start providing a better view of everything the bench offers.

First up, our seasonings and rubs! Each of our seasonings and rubs is made in small batches, (no more than 4 jars at a time) because we want to provide you the freshest ingredients possible. Many of our ingredients come from our own organic garden, including the herbs like rosemary, oregano, basil, and the onions and garlic we use to make onion and garlic powders.

Come see us at RCTC fieldhouse until 4pm today!
