Our Studios

The Bath Lab Studio

Part craft, part science, part self-care—made for curious hands.

A hands-on introduction to bath and body making—designed especially for kids.

Each kit invites children to measure, mix, and create their own bath-time products using simple, thoughtfully selected ingredients. From bath teas to milk baths and beyond, the process blends sensory play with light experimentation, giving kids a chance to explore textures, scents, and natural materials in a safe and engaging way.

The experience is open-ended and flexible—whether following a recipe or making something entirely their own.

What to expect:

  • Pre-measured or easy-to-use ingredients

  • Gentle, skin-conscious formulations

  • A balance of guided steps and creative freedom

Flora Felt Studio

A craft you can return to, again and again.

A quiet, tactile craft experience centered around making felt flowers and botanical pieces by hand.

These kits guide you through the process of transforming soft felt into detailed, lasting floral designs. With a focus on simple techniques and thoughtful construction, each project encourages patience, creativity, and an appreciation for slow making.

Whether creating a single stem or building a full bouquet, the result is something both beautiful and enduring.

What to expect:

  • High-quality felt and curated materials

  • Step-by-step guidance with room to personalize

  • Projects designed to be both approachable and satisfying
