founder story
“Nurturing our community is core to who we are and we live by the motto that everyone is welcome at The Works, always.”
Kellie founded The Works as a DIY school for adults, offering in-person experience-based learning in Seattle. When the global pandemic made in-person gatherings problematic Kellie and her team were sparked to distill the magic of their in-person classes into DIY Kits, complete with materials, detailed instructions, and video demonstrations to walk DIYers through projects.
From making your own gemstone soap to bubble tea, mochi, or bath bombs, you can DIY with The Works.
