Everything You Need to Know

  • Vision Lab is hosted at Punk Buggy Studio in the Gaslight District, Cambridge and there is free parking available. There are no washrooms inside the studio, but public washrooms are accessible within the Gaslight District.

  • Just yourself. All materials, tools, and guidance are included. Your ticket covers everything you need to make up to 3 pieces.

  • You're welcome to bring your own drinks. We ask that you leave food at home to keep the workspace clean and bead-friendly. Water and light snacks will be provided.

  • Vision Lab is a shared creative experience — expect good energy and a room full of people making things. You're welcome to come solo and make some new friends, or book alongside people you know. Either way, every person needs their own ticket.

  • Vision Lab is a judgment-free, creative space. Whether you come in knowing exactly what you want to make or with no idea where to start, you'll be supported the whole way through. I'll be there for the full session — helping as much or as little as you need, answering questions, and making sure you feel confident with every piece you're working on. The energy in the room is collaborative and relaxed. People share ideas, help each other out, and generally have a really good time. Come as you are.

  • After the workshop, you'll receive a short anonymous survey to help us improve the experience for future sessions. It's completely optional, but your feedback means a lot and genuinely shapes what comes next.

Your Host

Emilia Zibaei

I'm a Designer and Art Director based in Cambridge, and making things with my hands has always been part of how I think and create. Vision Lab came from wanting to share that—the focus, tactility, and satisfaction of finishing something and wearing it out the door. I'll be there for the whole session, guiding you through it and making sure you leave with pieces you're proud of.
