Meet the Maker

Hello from Ma Happy Place

Hi! I'm Stephanie. I started Ma Happy Place to offer a quiet escape from screens — a space where hands-on making brings mindful joy. I design every kit and personally teach every workshop, from kintsugi (the Japanese art of repairing broken things with gold) to Boston mahjong tile painting, at venues across Greater Boston.

Creativity isn't just something you make; it's somewhere you go. Whether you're trying something new, making a one-of-a-kind piece, or just giving yourself permission to play — welcome to your happy place.

Guided Crafting

We believe in the power of hands-on making to calm the mind and spark imagination, offering a mindful break from the digital world.

Our designs are inspired by the charm of Boston, infused with whimsical touches and meticulously crafted components for unique projects.

Every kit comes with clear instructions, and our workshops provide encouraging guidance, ensuring a rewarding experience for all skill levels.
