About Craftolog'y
Craftolog’y is a San Jose–based creative venture founded and owned by Yean, a one-woman maker passionate about bringing people together through hands-on, sensory craft experiences.
The name comes from “Craft Catalog” , a space filled with endless creative possibilities with the “Y” representing Yean, the creative mind behind it.
Started in June 2023, Craftolog’y began with local craft fair pop-ups and mobile off-site workshops around the Bay Area, offering unique candle, perfume, and natural body care–making experiences. Each workshop blends artistry with tradition, inspired by Korean craftsmanship and supported by Yean’s certifications from various Korean craft associations. Today, Craftolog’y has found a home at Snibspace, a creative space also founded by Yean, dedicated to fostering community, creativity, and collaboration. Most workshops are now hosted at Snibspace, providing an inviting and inspiring environment for makers of all levels.
At Craftolog’y, it’s not just about the final product; it’s about the joy of the process. Every workshop is an opportunity to slow down, explore, and connect with like-minded creatives. Let’s craft something meaningful together!
The Heart Behind Craftolog'y
W.Yean Chong (Founder/Craft Instructor)
Hi! I’m Yean (pronounced as Yen), the founder of Craftolog'y and your craft instructor. I have a background in multimedia design and film production, and I spent several years working in the print industry. But after some time in the corporate world, I found myself wondering, “Is this truly the path I want to stay on?”
In late 2022, I took a leap of faith and decided to invest in myself, diving into the world of crafting. I enrolled in certified craft courses and quickly reconnected with my love for hands-on creativity. What began as a simple hobby soon grew into something much more, and that’s how Craftolog’y came to life.
I’m still learning every step of the way; not just in crafting, but in building a small business, connecting with people, and sharing what I love. It’s been an exciting journey so far, and I can’t wait to keep growing and creating together with all of you!
