Who We Are

Hi! My name is Gitali. I am the founder of The Craft Space. Here is a short story of how it got into soap making & crafts.

In 2016, I was struggling through a lot of stress & sadness due to some family issues. I was sad & unhappy. I had some time at hand in the evenings after work, so I bought acrylic paints and canvases & just started painting. I used to paint in the evenings & learn from YouTube tutorials. This helped my mental health tremendously. I loved putting those colors on the canvas and I still love it! That was very therapeutic for me and it helped me through the tough times.

Now, even though I loved paintings, it would take me hours to finish a single painting & I did not want to leave in between and start again.Whenever I tried that, I would never get back to finish it. Those paintings are still not completed to this day. So, I started searching for new hobbies that I could complete in less time, and gives me the same therapeutic and relaxing effect.

In 2017, One day I was going through Pinterest & found a pin that was named “Homemade Soap” & I was like- What? We can make soaps at home?? I was all excited and started my research online. Thanks to various helpful Facebook groups & YouTube tutorials, I finally found a way to make soaps. As a beginner, I had a few failed batches, but they are all now a part of my experience. After practicing & learning different soap techniques, I just fell in love with soap making. My love for art & science was now combined & I created some beautiful batches of soap (A simple bar of soap is still my favorite though). This journey was not just therapeutic but rewarding also for me. That’s why I have a special place for soap-making in my life.

Like most beginner soap makers, I also made many more soaps than I needed, so I started selling my soaps in 2018.  It took me two years to realize that I enjoy sharing my process of soap making with others, more than selling the soaps. I kept thinking about it for some time & finally took a plunge and formed “The Craft Space” for creators.

Here I provide real-time online soap-making classes. I noticed that there are not too many soap makers who provide real-time classes, so I decided to take my time to meet with other creators / crafters, who want to learn soap making, and make soaps with them.

My vision is to bring more creators on board and provide various handmade product classes and create a community of crafters.

I believe in sharing my knowledge with the world. In 2022, I started sharing my love for crafts on Instagram & also gathered the courage to post Soap-making and other craft tutorials on my YouTube channel – “Craft with Geeta”.

Now that you are already here, please go through my website & see what intrigues your interest. I will be happy to help you if you have any questions / queries.
