Our story
Welcome to Viva Workshop!
We’re Valerie and Glib, a husband-and-wife team based in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, dedicated to crafting high-quality, handmade products that bring warmth and joy to your home. What started in 2019 as a shared dream has grown into a thriving family business, blending our passion for creativity, entrepreneurship, and meaningful connections.
At Viva Workshop, we specialize in hand-poured soy wax candles, leather goods, cutting boards, and now, our newest additions: vegan picture frames and room sprays. Every product we create is thoughtfully designed, lovingly handcrafted, and personalized to reflect the unique stories and styles of our customers. From our cozy workshop in Auburn, WA, we aim to deliver more than just products—we deliver pieces of art, made with care and intention.

Our Journey
Born and raised in Ukraine, Valerie and Glib moved to Washington state seven years ago, bringing along a love for creativity and an entrepreneurial spirit. Together with her husband, the duo turned their shared vision into a reality, transforming their home into a space where ideas bloom and crafts come to life. Today, Viva Workshop is proud to serve customers across the U.S., offering products on Etsy, Amazon, and Instagram.

What We Believe
We believe in the power of handmade. There’s a special magic in creating something from scratch and knowing it will light up someone’s space or serve as a heartfelt gift. Whether it’s the rustic charm of a leather journal, the soothing glow of a candle, or the timeless elegance of a custom cutting board, every item is made to bring joy to its new home.
Sustainability and quality are at the heart of what we do. We use 100% natural soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and premium materials for all our products, ensuring they’re as eco-friendly as they are beautiful.
