“Building a community, IRL”

The “slow” brand era is here, and we’re all for it.

Gone are the days of more, more and more. Now, your audience wants to be part of something bigger.
A community. A conversation. One that is conscious, relevant, and authentically inclusive.

We know building a community is hard work but now you've found your people, let us help you give them something to stay for. 

You bring the brand and community and we’ll bring the craft, calm and connection. With consciously curated brand activations at Recess Living, we turn snap-worthy moments into soulful stories.

  • Mindful Pottery

    Sculpt that stress away with this ceramics session. You’ll learn pinching, slab-building and coiling. Think play-dough for adults… Intuitive and nostalgic.

  • Marbling Ceramics & Marbling Craft Station

    Prepare to be mesmerised. Inspired by the abstract art of Suminagashi and Ebru, this workshop celebrates tradition and flow. Sink into stillness as you swirl your designs onto a piece of homeware.

  • Vision Boarding

    New year, new me? Kinda overrated. Your best life isn’t a destination, it’s a daily practice. Led by our founder, Nina, you’ll create a tool for everyday reflection. Think: mind-mapping, goal-setting and collaging, with a difference. A moment for recess and re-invention that starts where you are.

  • Christmas workshops & seasonal events

    When all you want for Christmas is something other than a wreath-making workshop… A festive take on our signature marbling session, but with baubles. Very Insta-worthy!
