One of our favourite questions at every Crafts & Yaps is about names. Where they come from, who chose them, and the stories behind them. It’s funny how quickly a simple question can open up conversations we didn’t even realise we needed.

An hour somehow flew by, and like always, we left feeling a little more connected, even with friends we thought we already knew so well. (Thanks to your favourite curious cat, me .roy ☺️)

This Galentine’s was such a lovely reminder of how important female friendships are, and how special it is to make space to slow down together.

Thank you to everyone who came and made this Crafts & Yaps feel so warm and personal 💛

Join us for a special Seascape Carving workshop to celebrate World Wood Day 🌊

We’ll be gathering around the workbench for a slow, hands-on afternoon, carving wave-inspired wall art from a larger 15cm × 30cm block. You’ll carve, paint, and varnish your piece so it’s ready to hang at home.

No experience needed! Just come as you are. It’s less about getting it perfect and more about spending time making something together.

📅 21 March
🕑 2pm – 5pm
📍 Mui Wo studio
💰 $280 per person
🎟 Only 12 seats available

All tools, materials, and a small goodie bag included.

If you’ve been wanting to try something new or simply spend a slower afternoon with us, we’d love to have you ✨🫶🏻🤗

Looking for a way to celebrate that doesn’t feel rushed, noisy, or awkward?
Our private woodworking workshops are about spending time well 🥳✨

You get the whole studio to yourselves for a few hours.

We make things, chat, eat, laugh, and leave with something real that we made with our hands. No experience needed, no pressure to be “creative”, just a good excuse to slow down together.

You can choose one of our popular workshops, or we can tailor an activity that fits your group. We’re happy to help organise food, drinks, and even cake with our partners, or you’re welcome to bring your own. Dietary needs like vegan, halal, or vegetarian are always welcome 🍰🍕🥗🧃

Family-friendly, dog-friendly, and perfect for birthdays, team days, or small celebrations that deserve a bit more care. We recommend 3–4 hours so there’s time to actually enjoy it 🐶💛

Many of us grew up told we had to fit into narrow boxes: stay small, stay quiet, stay “appropriate.” We were never shown that woodworking could be for us, too.

Let’s be clear: Woodworking isn’t about natural strength, perfect skills, or knowing all the tool names and techniques. There is intention in every choice we have made when we built a collective space. You won’t be going into an industrial building, where unfortunately, people (especially women) of colour still have to dodge and avoid strange looks and judgement about our presence. You’ll be walking into picturesque Mui Wo, to a bright, sunlit studio, with a diverse range of bodies.

Here, the focus is on you and what you’re capable of building. At a collective space, you aren’t the exception. You are a maker, a creator, a builder, just like us!

Save this post if you’ve ever thought “I can’t do this” because we want this to be a reminder that YOU CAN!

And if you’re curious, DM us “FIRST TIME” for beginner-friendly dates, prices, and what to expect. No pressure, just information, and you can decide what to do next ✨🫶🏻

Get your kids to build, paint, and carve this Chinese New Year! They’ll jump into hands-on projects — wooden animals, colorful coasters, fun lamps, and more — and just get messy, creative, and curious while making things with their own hands.

It’s about trying stuff out, figuring things out as they go, and that moment when they step back and grin, “I made this!” Along the way, they’ll pick up new skills, gain confidence, and have a ton of fun celebrating the season in a way only kids can. 🧧✨

DM me or WhatsApp me now!

Helping in the workshop is easy.
Until the tool names start soundinh like complete nonsense.
I want to help. I really do.
I just need subtitles… 🥹🙏🏻

We’ve had a lot of new faces around here lately, so this feels like a good moment to re-introduce ourselves.

a collective space is where woodworking meets wellbeing. It is truly a space for everybody who wants to make something with their own hands.

Here’s what we do:

• Private workshops, bookable anytime for solo sessions or small groups
• DIY kits for slow, hands-on making at home
• School programs and team building experiences that use craft as a way to learn and connect

You’ll find everything clearly laid out in the links in our bio, with each link leading to something different depending on what you’re looking for.

And if you’re here because you have a custom woodworking idea or commission in mind, you’ll find Emmy’s info there too.

Thanks for being here! Is there anything you’d like to know about us?

This is what an engaged classroom sounds like.
Yes, there’s talking, but listen closely. Most of the focus is on the work right in front of them.

Giving kids sharp tools doesn’t mean they’ll hurt themselves. With the right guidance, it teaches responsibility, awareness, and care for others. Over the past six weeks, we’ve watched around 60 students handle tools thoughtfully, help each other stay safe, and make confident choices throughout the process.

Woodworking is a hands-on way to explore STEAM concepts, but it also builds confidence. Understanding boundaries. Learning how to work with tools that feel intimidating at first, and empowering once understood.

, thank you for trusting us and the process. We’re so excited to reach the finish line with the Year 6s.

If you’re a teacher or school leader in Hong Kong curious about bringing hands-on woodworking into your classroom, DM us to learn more.

Galentine’s Edition: Crafts & Yaps 💗

This one is for celebrating friendship in the simplest way.
Making something with your hands. Sitting side by side. Talking, or not talking, and letting the space hold both.

Crafts & Yaps has always been about creating room for connection without pressure. No experience needed. Just showing up, slowing down, and making something meaningful together.

For this Galentine’s edition, you’ll create a small keepsake for your bestie, or come together and make something side by side. Expect gentle making, good conversations, and the kind of calm that stays with you after.

Tickets are limited.
