Recent reviews of Solid Perfume DIY Workshop
- 5/5 from Lilly R, attended Aug 2026: The teacher is very kind and she takes her time to explain the scents and answers all your questions. Made some mistakes with the first wax but she was patient and helped me! The tea is amazing. Book her!
- 5/5 from Jemaja Simmons, attended Jun 2026: This was a birthday gift to myself and I so enjoyed myself and the making of my customized gift. Leaya Lin is a patient and very knowledgeable instructor. I will return again in the Fall to make another seasonal, personalized scent.
- 5/5 from Gabrielle Guerrero, attended May 2026: The class was very fun and a unique experience. I loved the small class size and Leaya gave great info. The perfumes came out great!
Your teacher
I’ve always had a deep love for creating things with my hands, and over the years I’ve built a pretty wide-ranging toolkit when it comes to DIY needlework. I crochet everything from cozy scarves to cute amigurumi. I also cross stitch—one tiny square at a time—turning simple threads into colorful little artworks.I’m a hobbyist at heart, and as a side hustle I love teaching from knitting to crochet to cross stitch. With years of experience and a genuine passion for all things crafty, I strive to create a fun, low-pressure, and engaging learning environment for everyone who joins me. I cherish the quiet, calm, and serenity that come with crafting; all the stress of the day just melts away during the process. I want my students to feel that same peace and joy when they walk into my class.Teaching gives me the chance to share that spark of creativity, of comfort, of possibility. Whether you’re brand-new, a little nervous, or just excited to try something with your hands, I’m here to guide you, stitch by stitch, into a world where learning feels easy and crafting feels magical.
