The Shed

Great community hub offering classes, an art gallery, and ways to connect with other locals doing exciting things.

Beautiful and cozy spot selling only local artists' original work - perfect for giftshopping and supporting local! Great community space -- very affordable small workshops of all kinds (woodworking, printmaking, etc) - for range of ages. And they have a weekly free (donation suggested) kids' art table during the farmer's market!! Awesome to see a space dedicated to community-building here in El Sobrante.

I walked in on a whim a couple days ago as I pass through El Sobrante regularly and wondered, "what is this place?" As my two tweens and I walked in we were so pleasantly surprised to find this super cute store filled with handmade wood and knit handicrafts. I fell in love immediately. The woman, whom I'd assume is the store owner was so unbelievably helpful and kind. I left with a new cutting board and made mental notes to return for shearling slippers and notebooks made from Japanese paper for my daughters. Did i mention how much I love this cute lil store? We need more small businesses like this in the area. It's the perfect place to buy a unique handmade gift. Also, the woman in the store suggested that we check out the nursery next door and I'm so glad we did. She also mentioned the farmers market across the street on Sundays.
