StoryWerks

Wear your words. Share your story.

WHO WE ARE

StoryWerks™ is the creative retail, learning, and experience center of the nonprofit Narrative Research Group, Inc.—where narrative research comes to life.

WHAT WE DO

Through workshops, events, and thoughtfully curated products, we turn meaningful stories, symbols, and words into personal artifacts that can be shared, preserved, and worn.

HOW WE DO IT

Visit us on the MASS MoCA campus to shop Pyrrha jewelry, words-to-wear gear, books, Questel art, and the GAMI Turbo—“origami meets LEGO” for car enthusiasts. Record your life story through a professional interview, or join a public class or community program.

WHO BENEFITS

We serve visitors and the Berkshires community through social-good programs for teachers, students, and people navigating work and life transitions.

StoryPathing Open Studio

Sundays | 1:00–3:00 PM

Free to Our Berkshire Community

A community-supported opportunity to explore your story with guidance from certified StoryPathing Coaches. Think of it as an open studio, not a class—participants move through StoryPathing at their own pace while coaches offer support, encouragement, and feedback.

Participants working during the Sunday Lab

The Sunday Lab

Think Apple Genius Bar meets writing workshop. Arrive anytime between 1–3 PM to work quietly, watch course videos, meet briefly with a coach, or talk through ideas with other participants. The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and self-directed.

Coach Support

Coaches circulate the room rather than teach a lesson—spending one-on-one time, facilitating small discussions, helping someone who’s stuck, celebrating progress, and recommending next steps. Every interaction is personalized to where you are in the process.
