Growing up as the son of a shop teacher and a home economics teacher sparked Greg Flanagan’s curiosity for building and making things by hand. Tree On A Hill Workshop, Flanagan’s custom design and fabrication shop, specializes in woodworking and digital fabrication. Located in beautiful Northeast Minneapolis, Tree On A Hill Workshop provides contract cutting, artist services, commissioned work, original pieces, and design/build partnerships. Our goal is to bring unique ideas to reality using the latest technology and time tested techniques.
