Virtual & In-person lab sessions located in Irvine, CA.

What we do:

Host Creativity Labs

We bring equipment, opportunity, and education to help you learn & engage in basic maker and art skills.

Create Books & Games

With five years experience in the indie publishing industry, our goal is to continue to bring valuable books, activity books, plays and games to market to support our ongoing mission of creativity.

Sip Chai

Chai has always been at the heart of our creativity, from making strawberry chai in high school, to investing in a chai machine as an adult, chai fuels our creativity, so we have some special blends to share with you too. Try them out in person or purchase some for a cozy creative moment at home.

Our Labs

  • Follow our instructors and assistants to create a pre-planned craft with all materials and tools provided. Examples of labs include:
    Vinyl cutting & transfer, Mosaic Vases, Cardboard Crafting, Clay, Sticker making, Laser Engraving, 3D Prints, Woodworking, Resin pouring, Sewing, Crocheting, Painting, Calligraphy, and more!

  • Once you’re familiar with the basics, come to an open collaborative session where you can access our 3D Printer, Cricut Cutter, XTool Laser Printing/Engraving, Cardboard Cutter, Heat Press, and more to create your own projects.

  • Have a little one under the age of five? Come play with them as they explore all kinds of toys, books, games, puzzles, and tools to enhance their Islamic and Quran learning. Caregivers are required to be present and participating at Little Labs (but don’t worry, there’s space to socialize with other adults!). Free chai for caregivers because we need it!
    Little Labs are usually scheduled in conjunction with Open Labs to accommodate families with children of various ages.

  • Learn how to tell, write, illustrate, design, animate, and perform stories in guided storytelling labs with published Muslim authors, illustrators, playwrights, performers, influencers, and videographers. Gain access to conversations with industry professionals on how you can move your story forward.
