About

Why we make these workshops.

BY MI exists because creativity doesn't need permission. The most meaningful objects are the ones you make yourself—not because they're perfect, but because they carry your time, your choices, and your stories.

The Approach

Real making, no shortcuts.

Pressed flowers that grew

We use real botanicals collected, dried, and pressed by hand. Not printed images. Not synthetic petals. Real flowers with their own color, texture, and character.

Materials you touch

Canvas, vinyl, resin, charms, brass—you work with the actual materials the finished piece is made from. You see how they behave, how they feel, how they come together.

Something you finish

From start to completion in one session. You don't leave with half-finished work or wait for someone else to "perfect" it. You take home exactly what you made.

Time to think

No rushing. Each workshop is paced so you can work intentionally, make choices, and enjoy the company of people making things alongside you.

The Workshops

Three formats, one philosophy.

Each workshop explores a different material and technique, but they all follow the same principle: real making, with your hands, in one session, with something worth keeping at the end.

The Atmosphere

Small, unhurried, intentional.

Each workshop is limited to 10–15 people. No overflow sessions, no conveyor-belt energy. Everyone gets real attention and space to work at their own pace.

Workshops happen in curated local venues in Como, Milan, and Bucharest. Real studios and community spaces that feel like places where people make things.

You'll meet others who showed up because they wanted to make something real. No corporate team-building exercises. Just people, creativity, and genuine conversation.

The whole point is to create an afternoon or evening where you step away from scrolling, from convenience, from the expectation that everything should be instant. Make something by hand. Keep it. Remember it.
