wait, what is mush?
mush is a monthly subscription box containing one guided creative project - everything you need to make something with your hands, delivered through your letterbox, once a month.
it’s a ready-made moment of calm in a box, that lets you get out of your head and into your hands.
why do we feel so overwhelmed?
that feeling where everything is just a bit too much - too much to do, too much noise, too many screens, hardly any time to find any sense of peace.
your hands spend all day tapping and scrolling and typing and it all just feels a bit unnatural.
i felt this for years, and struggled to find anything that really helped. but then i tried a clay sculpting workshop on my birthday and something just clicked.
i sat down, got my hands in the clay, and completely lost track of time. forgot where i was. at one point nearly forgot my girlfriend was even there (oops).
and when it was over i felt genuinely peaceful. properly restored. like myself again.
i couldn’t stop thinking about it on the way home. that feeling — why don’t more people have access to that? why is it so hard to just… stop, and make something, and feel like that?
that's why I built mush.
what your brain really needs

your hands are the fastest route to feeling better
neuroscientists found that using your hands to make something tangible activates your brain's effort-driven rewards circuit - releasing dopamine and serotonin in the process.
moving your hands activates more of your brain than moving any other part of your body.
today's young adults are up to 10x more likely to experience depression than their grandparents.
one reason? we've stopped making things.
