The Made By Journal
Welcome!
I’m Ningal - designer, maker, dreamer, and the founder of Studio Made By.
This is the space where I share more than what fits into a kit or workshop.
Here you’ll find:
🎨 Creative projects and tutorials to spark your own hands-on play.
🌈 Reflections on the art of making, mindful crafting, and why it matters in a fast world.
🧚♀️ Behind the scenes of Studio Made By - the inspirations, the challenges, the fun and the mess!
Subscribe to my newsletters to get new blog posts directly to your inbox, plus, you’ll be the first to know about upcoming workshops, new kits, sales and discounts!
