our story
found & formed was born out of a shared leap of faith. courtney has always been an artist at heart — while building a career as a commercial interior designer, she quietly carried the desire to make a living from what she truly loved: art. over time, burnout made it clear — something needed to change.
at the same time, michael was living out his dream as a professional soccer player, faithfully supporting courtney as she pursued the calling God placed on her life — to create freely and build something that invites others to do the same.
found & formed is the result of that step of faith. more than a brand — it's a space. a place to rest, create, and reconnect, where perfection isn't required and joy is the goal.
"when you give yourself permission to create — not for performance, but for joy — you begin to remember who you are."

got questions?
everything you need to know before you show up and create something.
found & formed is a pop-up — we don't have a permanent home, and that's part of what makes it special. we partner with coffee shops and restaurants across st. louis to bring the experience to you. the best way to know when and where we'll be next is to follow us on instagram or join our email list.
not at all — found & formed is designed for everyone. our menu offers a range of mediums and experiences, from simple and approachable to more detailed and involved, so whether you've never touched a paintbrush or you create every day, there's something for you. no experience, no pressure, no judgment.
your reservation includes your seat, all art supplies for your chosen medium, and one drink — it's all part of the studio fee. just show up at your time, pick your medium from the menu, and order your drink at the counter. everything will be set up and ready for you.
as long as you'd like. there are no time limits — we want you to slow down, settle in, and actually lose track of time the way you did as a kid. create at your own pace. no one is rushing you out.
