The Bequem Workshops: Crafting Calm Together

In a world that moves fast, crafting by hand feels like an act of calm rebellion; a way to pause, connect, and rediscover the joy of making something slowly.

Hosted in our Berlin studio in Kreuzberg, The Bequem Workshops invite you to unwind, meet new people, and explore the beauty of scent and creativity in a warm, inspiring space that reflects our philosophy: simple, thoughtful, and personal.

A Creative Experience

This is more than a class; it’s a shared moment. You’ll spend a relaxed afternoon surrounded by good company, soft fragrances, and the quiet satisfaction of creating something by hand. Guided by Anastasia, you’ll craft your own candles while enjoying tea, coffee, and small treats in a cosy studio atmosphere.

No prior experience is needed; just curiosity and an open mind. Many guests come alone and leave with new friends, stories, and a deeper connection to the creative process.
