Behind The Scenes Look: The Alchemist Wagon

Bringing the Workshop to the Streets

The work of The Wayward Alchemist has always been rooted in the tactile and the weathered—finding life in reclaimed iron and stories in dark folklore. While the forge remains the heart of the operation, I needed a way to bring the artifacts out of the workshop and directly to the people.

Introducing The Alchemist’s Wagon, a hand-built mobile display designed to carry the four categories of the shop wherever the path leads.

Built for the Road

Following the same philosophy I use at the anvil, this wagon was constructed entirely from reclaimed materials and artisanal quality:

  • The Structure: A mobile base outfitted with stained wood and salvaged metal.
  • The Presentation: Deep crimson velvet tiered shelving provides a sharp contrast to the raw steel and weathered wood of the artifacts.
  • The Details: Outfitted with lanterns and hand-lettered signage, ensuring the shop is visible even as the light fades.

Four categories on Wheels

The wagon serves as a traveling outpost for everything we do:

  • The Forge: Hand-forged rings, blades, and artifacts.
  • The Art Gallery: A selection of our dark fairytale and gothic-themed art prints.
  • The Apothecary: Artisanal tea blends and custom herbal guides.
  • The Library: A physical space to discuss the lore behind the work.

Find the Wagon

This mobile display is our new way to connect with the community during pop-ups and local events. It’s built for the wanderer and the seeker who prefers to hold an artifact in their hand before it enters their collection.

Stop and See Before We Leave: If you spot the red velvet and lanterns, stop by for a Free Photo Op. If you tag the workshop in your photo, I’ll take 10% off your choice of artifact as a thank you for supporting the craft.

The ledger is moving. We’ll see you out there.

Stay Wayward,

The Wayward Alchemist
