Whether you’re building something with your hands or rebuilding something within yourself, Maike is designed to hold that process. It’s a place to experiment, explore, and make a beautiful mess along the way.
Here, we believe:
Making is a form of healing.
Beauty doesn’t have to be perfect.
And transformation starts with what’s right in front of you.
We host in-person + online workshops, events, and creative sessions that blend practical skills with deeper purpose.
From DIY home projects to creative rituals, every offering is designed to help you work with your hands while staying connected to your heart.
“Maike” is a German name that means of the sea—a nod to creativity as a fluid, untamable force that lives in all of us. Our mission is to help you trust that current, follow your own creative tide, and make something real from wherever you are.
Maike also sounds like “make” — but with a twist. It’s a little mystical, a little matter-of-fact. A blend of "make' + "magic" It holds both the magic and the materials.
And that’s exactly what we’re about. For us, to "maike" something means to embrace the messy middle and make magic
Maike is part studio, part sanctuary, part community hub.
It’s for makers, artists, beginners, wanderers, and anyone in a season of becoming.
You’ll find:
Creative workshops that teach real skills (with room for real mess)
Events and gatherings focused on creativity, connection, and growth
A welcoming space for experimenting, learning, and transforming — at your own pace
Whether you’re joining us for a one-time workshop or stepping into a longer creative journey, we’re here to meet you in the middle — not with polished perfection, but with presence, tools, and a damn good playlist.
This isn’t just a studio. It’s a movement.
A call back to conscious creation.
✦ To beauty that’s honest.
✦ To community that’s real.
✦ To spaces that make room for becoming.
We’re not here to sell you a beautiful after.
We’re here to help you build a new reality — one project, one breakthrough, one brave step at a time.
