Launching soon

Learn the skills our grandparents took for granted.

Forge a knife. Create a pot. Open a beehive. Touching Grass connects you with local people who know how and will show you, in person, in an afternoon.

The Explore screen of the app: search, skill categories, and a photo card for a private pottery wheel session.
A listing for a blacksmithing session: photos of the forge, who’s leading it, length, group size and price.

Real skills, from real people

No screens, no shortcuts. Find someone nearby, show up, and leave with something you made.

  1. The Explore screen with filters applied for beginner-friendly weekend sessions.

    Find someone near you

    Browse local sessions and filter by what you want to learn, when you’re free, and what you want to spend.

  2. A listing showing photos, who’s leading it, duration, group size and price.

    Know what you’re signing up for

    Real photos, who’ll show you how, how long it runs, and the group size — before you book.

  3. A profile page with the person’s story and the other sessions they offer.

    Meet the person behind the craft

    Everyone here has a profile with their story and everything else they offer, so you know who you’ll be learning from.

Some skills only live in people’s hands.

Blacksmithing, curing, keeping bees, working leather — they get passed on person to person, or they don’t. Most of the people who know them have never had an easy way to share them. Touching Grass gives them an audience, and gives the rest of us a way in.

It’s an app whose whole job is to get you away from the screen.
