A little effort.
A different kind of object.

A kit, a design, a pair of hands. Yours is the part that makes the difference.

The SpiderPunk principle

Things mean more
when you’ve had
a hand in them.

A garden teaches you to care about a tomato before it reaches your plate. Making something can do that for an object. The finish, the small decisions, even the mark that only you notice: it all becomes part of the story.

This is the idea behind our developing range of planchette kits, art projects and custom board prints. Choose an idea, ask about the practical details, and make something that feels like yours.
