Sometimes the octopus hits things with a hammer.
In a very calm, controlled, definitely-therapeutic way.
This is one of those very satisfying boxes.
We have just a few overstock Geometric String Art Creative Boxes available from our latest workshop run. They are exactly the same boxes our subscribers received and once they’re gone… that’s it.
If your box arrives before April 22nd 2026, you can join us live for the workshop.
If you’re reading this after that date, you can watch the full replay anytime and follow along at your own pace.

What’s inside
Everything you need to create your own geometric string art piece, including:
• Oval wooden board (pre-sized to fit perfectly in your box)
• Panel pins (more than enough for your design)
• Curated thread colours
• Gold thread for subtle highlights
• Hammer
• Pliers to help place and adjust pins
• Template to guide your pin placement
No printed instructions.
The learning happens through the workshop replay (or live if you join us on April 22nd).
What you’ll learn
This workshop is about rhythm, repetition, and watching something intricate emerge from simple steps.
You’ll learn:
• How to evenly place and secure your pins
• How to follow a geometric pattern without overthinking it
• Building layered string patterns to create depth and movement
• Working with multiple colours from different starting points
• Adding highlights to bring the whole piece together
• How to turn straight lines into something that looks anything but
By the end, you’ll have a finished geometric string art piece that looks far more complicated than it actually is.
Every piece starts the same.
A board.
A handful of pins.
Three threads.
And then it shifts.
Different tension, different rhythm, different tiny decisions… and suddenly it’s completely yours.
The experience
This one has two sides to it.
Hammering pins… a bit of a release.
Wrapping thread… surprisingly calming.
Somewhere in the middle, your brain goes quiet and your hands take over.
And then, without quite noticing when it happened, you’ve made something really bloody cool.

If you’ve ever thought
“I want to make something that looks impressive but don’t want it to be complicated”…
This is exactly that.
Because sometimes all it takes is a bit of string, a few nails…
and an octopus with excellent stress management techniques. 🐙🧵
