STAR Studio

Part of STARability Foundation’s Social Enterprise program, STARability Studio serves more than 100 participants through a robust schedule of paid employment, internship experience, vocational training, volunteer opportunities, and recreational art classes and photography workshops.

Here, all abilities come together to create beautiful and professional gifts such as hand-poured natural soy candles, beaded jewelry, illustrated cards and more. Their products are sold in the Studio’s on-site boutique in the Naples Design District, online, to a growing number of retailers and community partners, and at numerous community events. Each vibrant item sparks joy as a meaningful gift, perfect souvenir or home accent.

With each program and artisan product, the STARs are expressing themselves creatively, learning a special technique or craft, and developing valuable skills that translate to their time in the community, at home and in other workplaces. Every single purchase provides meaningful work and experience, and all proceeds benefit STARability’s programming.
