Project types:
Candle or Diffuser Vessel Painting
Teams paint their own vessels for candles or reed diffusers, then fill them with their choice of scents. It's a quieter, more sensory experience that works especially well for evening events, after-hours socials, and wellness-themed team gatherings.
Desk Nameplate or Door Sign Studio
Simple wood or acrylic nameplates and door signs that people customize with their own colors, patterns, or illustrative touches. This fits perfectly with new office moves, team rebrands, onboarding events, or welcome-back-to-office gatherings where you want people to feel a sense of ownership over their space.
Planter Painting and Mini Planting
Participants paint small terracotta planters and pot their own hypoallergenic mini-plants or succulents to take home. A calming, hands-on project that works beautifully for wellness initiatives, "green your workspace" campaigns, or any event where you want to bring a little life and color into the office.
Decorative Ceramics
Everyone paints and decorates their own mug, bowl, or catch-all dish. Create a piece you'll want to see and use every single day at your office desk or around the house!
Chunky Knit Lap Blankets
Participants hand-knit soft, lap-sized blankets using chunky yarn and their hands - no needles required. It's tactile, meditative, and people love seeing how fast the blanket comes together. This one's perfect for colder months and any cozy-themed gathering where you want your team to relax.
