what to expect

A day in the studio

Meet the Maker

Mary — a former jet mechanic in the US Air Force — shares the story behind what you're creating: the ingredients, the benefits, and the meaning behind the name. This isn't just a craft class; it's a window into the craft itself.

Learn the Process

Follow along as Mary walks you through every step, the same way she makes it herself. No experience needed — just curiosity.

Make It Yours

Choose your fragrance, color, and finishing touches. Same process, completely personal result.

Take It Home

Leave with something you made with your own hands — ready for anyone lucky enough to receive it.
