Every time I set up a booth at a craft fair, I notice the same thing: people love looking at the larger, complex lamps, but not everyone has the budget or the space for a full sculptural lighting piece. I wanted to design something small, accessible, and tactile that brings that same warm, flickering energy to a table or desk—without having to worry about where...]]></description><link>https://www.welllitwoods.com/post/designing-for-the-tabletop-autumn-tea-lights-entry-level-craft</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6abd9cf4dea0b5f5d31c9514</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Sep 2026 23:40:40 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4caf76_aa2de37185a54e5c98bf780806485aad~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Well Lit Woods</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[From Indoor Lamps to Civic Spaces: Scaling Public Art in Nashville]]></title><description><![CDATA[Scaling light-filtering geometry from tabletop lamps into the public square: a digital concept for Nashville's transit spaces. 	Can the same light-filtering geometry that makes a tabletop lamp feel cozy in your living room be used to humanize a concrete city street? I think so. While handcrafted indoor lighting will always be the bread and butter of Well Lit Woods, my ultimate vision has always extended out of the living room and into the public square. Cities can easily feel cold, hurried,...]]></description><link>https://www.welllitwoods.com/post/from-indoor-lamps-to-civic-spaces-scaling-public-art-in-nashville</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6abd7ed46b3ed45d65f8e067</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Sep 2026 21:30:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4caf76_e108e97b8c8d47d0a60b310a39b96d77~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_900,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Well Lit Woods</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is Material Honesty? Designing Without Secrets]]></title><description><![CDATA[No glue, no hidden hardware: a macro look at precision-engineered Baltic birch living hinges in raw form. 	At Well Lit Woods, there are no secrets or shortcuts in how a piece is made. In a world flooded with disposable furniture held together by hidden glue and fake veneers, I practice what’s called Material Honesty. That means pushing the boundaries of modern design while intentionally exposing every joint, living hinge, and fastener. If a piece of wood holds a lamp together, I want you to...]]></description><link>https://www.welllitwoods.com/post/what-is-material-honesty-designing-without-secrets</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6abd79866b3ed45d65f8d4cf</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Sep 2026 21:18:40 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4caf76_a180541828e24bd181264733687ab459~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Well Lit Woods</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winning the Periscope Pitch: A Milestone for Well Lit Woods]]></title><description><![CDATA[Reflecting on a game-changing moment: taking home first place at the Periscope Pitch Showcase in Nashville. 	Winning the Pitch Perfect award at the Periscope Pitch Showcase recently was one of those surreal, core-memory moments for me. Standing on stage alongside some of Nashville’s most talented makers was an honor in itself, but walking away with the top spot felt like a massive validation of everything I’ve been quietly building. When you spend months surrounded by sawdust, laser smoke,...]]></description><link>https://www.welllitwoods.com/post/winning-the-periscope-pitch-a-milestone-for-well-lit-woods</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6abd78b97908d26646efbd66</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Sep 2026 21:01:55 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4caf76_8edc167b8ba14f71b17a36f47235e804~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Well Lit Woods</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
