Workshop Houston’s mission is to provide youth with creative, technical and educational resources. Our vision is to lay the groundwork for a just society by creating a community that provides youth with support, expanded opportunities and alternative definitions of success. Workshop Houston has five shops that provide resources and support for young people: the Third Ward Bike Shop (do-it-yourself bike repair), the Chopper Shop (welding and metal fabrication), the Beat Shop (hip-hop music production), the Style Shop (fashion design) and the Scholar Shop (tutoring and academic enrichment).

The Tipping Point is Houston’s first and only sneaker lifestyle store located in Downtown on the ground floor of the Historic Humble Building. We curate an eclectic collection of sneakers, books, art, apparel, music, and accessories that are a reflection of the Tipping Point lifestyle. Our ongoing mission is to expose new innovative products and ideas that reflect our beliefs to our hand picked audience. We also seek to educate our guest on the history of our products.
