Makers Educational Creative Collaborative for Arts
Creative Books + Creativity Labs + Chai
We make creative things & help others make them too!
Right now, our focus is on publishing faith focused books 📕 & board games, and we’re working on expanding our offerings to include creativity labs where we hold workshops and space for makers, creators, crafters, artists, writers, and performers to build technical skills, foster creativity and inspire entrepreneurship amongst Muslims!
We also have an affinity for sipping chai 🫖
Virtual & In-person lab sessions located in (and around) Irvine, CA.
Our Books
Give your child the gift of discovering our faith through wonder-filled stories they’ll love and never forget!
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.
