A couple building terrariums together on a date at Now and Zen DIY Studio
Why it makes a good date

Make something together, not just small talk

A build gives you both something to do with your hands and something easy to talk about. The pressure of a first date eases up, and a long-time couple gets an afternoon that is not the same old spot. Drink in hand, good music, and a finished piece to put on the shelf at home.

  • Sit close and build side by side
  • Bring a glass of wine to the table
  • Right on Third Street in the Fire Blocks District
  • Two vessels to take home, one for each of you
Not just for two

Any reason to celebrate

Dates

A first date, an anniversary, or a standing Thursday. Two seats, two vessels, and a real conversation.

Bachelorette parties

Gather the group for something a little different. Drinks, builds, and a keepsake everyone takes home.

Celebrations

Birthdays, retirements, engagements, or a new-job toast. Bring the reason, we will set the table.

Build side by side
