Who we are

Hello! I'm Bri, and in early 2026 I started Make It Slow with the encouragement and support of my partner, Tyler. <3

We both enjoy crafting & making things and part of what we are hoping to do with this business is to contribute to the local community of adults who enjoy making things and trying new hobbies.

To learn more about how we are going about trying to do this, check out Our Plan below.

Where we are located

Make It Slow is located in Lynnwood, WA - a city about 20 minutes north of Seattle by light rail.

As a new small business we are currently 'headquartered' from the spare office of our home (for now...).

You can find our kits available here (on this site), as well as at the various events we host or attend.

Our Plan

  • Phase 1 - Setup the Biz & Store

    Initial setup done, but these are also ongoing as well of course.

    This includes:

    • Building out this site & online store
    • Sourcing our initial product collection from artists and makers along the west coast and broader PNW who sell creative DIY kits for adults.
    • Getting connected to our audience!

  • Phase 2 - Events! Markets, Workshops, Meetups

    Summer/Fall This year (Happening Now)

    Host workshops, craft-alongs, and other crafty events at local businesses where adults can get together and try something new, catchup with existing friends, and maybe make some new ones.

  • Phase 3 - Open our own community lounge

    (tbd)

    Once we have enough confidence that there is sufficient community interest to support a physical location we can't wait to build out a 'third-place' community hub.

    This one's timing depends on our local folks <3

The motivation behind starting Make It Slow

These days it's nearly impossible to not get caught in a doom-scroll at least once a day.

We know that creating things with our hands whether alone or in the company of others, can help restore some balance (...and if nothing else keeps us off our phones).

So, we've collected creative kits for adults to help you take a break, recharge, and explore new crafts - without you having to do a ton of research or leg work.
