Reviews for our Birthday workshops in San Francisco
Yvonne Alexander de Alba
Pottery Class: Intro to Wheel Throwing Seize the Clay
I took a class with Victor to celebrate my birthday. I learned alot and am looking forward to delving deeper into the pottery world. Steps were thorough and clear.
Leslie Cortez
I booked this class as an activity my mom and I could share for her birthday. We arrived early and were immediately greeted by our friendly host. Once we were settled in, he gave a brief tutorial to get us started. He remained available for guidance and instruction if needed. He was very helpful and hospitable. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and highly recommend his class.

I took my fiancé here for his 30th birthday and it was truly a great decision. we had so much fun and the teachers were super attentive and had great feedback to make sure our rugs turned out great! they provide you with everything you need: a big enough canvas, tufting gun, and unlimited yarn of all colors. the teachers sit you down and show you how to hold and handle the tufting gun; safety first!I took my fiancé here for his 30th birthday and it was truly a great decision. we had so much fun and the teachers were super attentive and had great feedback to make sure our rugs turned out great! they provide you with everything you need: a big enough canvas, tufting gun, and unlimited yarn of all colors. the teachers sit you down and show you how to hold and handle the tufting gun; safety first! then they watched us each use the gun on a test canvas to ensure we got a good handle on it before working on our own canvas. the only feedback I had that I thought of after the fact was before starting your drawing, make sure you know that it’s going to be a mirror image of what you want it to be. so if you want your subject facing a certain way, make sure you flip it to its mirror image so that your final product is facing the way you want it to. regardless, we had such a fantastic time that we would def do this again! + more

We went to celebrate my partners birthday and it was so much fun! Our Instructor was great, he was funny, gave great instruction and made us feel really welcome. I think this class was really great value for the experience and we will be looking into other classes they offer!
Anouk Killaars
We loved the workshop! My partner and I went to celebrate my birthday and had a lot of fun. Mr. Scientist was so nice, helped out where needed but also let us do our own thing. The atmosphere was relaxing and so positive. Great value for your money. We now have two cute rugs at home!

Fun Birthday Ideas San Francisco
Fun birthday party ideas in San Francisco
When it comes to party themes, there are endless possibilities in a city as vibrant as San Francisco. You can get artistic with a paint and sip class, where you and your group show up to get creative together. You can paint your pet, decorate a wine glass, or cover a canvas in the style of your favorite artist. You’ll have fun hanging out and sipping on your favorite beverage that you bring to class. Even if there are people in your group who have never held a paintbrush, anyone can try our paint parties. Our teachers are welcoming to students at any level and you’ll love walking away with artwork you’ve created to remember your time together.
How to throw an incredible birthday celebration
If you don’t want to bother with the details of your special gathering, we don’t blame you. You can choose a workshop you’ve always wanted to try and leave the details with us. Curious about learning how to make the perfect blistered-crust pizza? You can try one of our pizza making classes and transport yourself to Naples where pizza was first made. Use fresh ingredients and get all the tricks to forming your dough, making the sauce, and baking it so it’s crisp and chewy.
Want more birthday party ideas in San Francisco? Try taking a food and drink tour to delicious destinations all over the Bay Area. Your host takes you around the historic Ferry Building for a taste of local foods from cheese to chocolate and so much more. After you’ve satisfied your appetite, you can cruise on a ferry to iconic Alcatraz Island for a walk around the famous grounds. Even if you’re a local, this is a part of SF history that never gets old and it will be immensely interesting for any of your guests who aren’t from the Bay Area.
We’re here to make your San Francisco birthday ideas amazing
The search for adult birthday party ideas doesn’t have to mean a night out at bars. If you want to include friends who don’t drink in your celebration night without stress, you can go in a totally different direction. Try a relaxing, restorative time together with a meditative pottery class. Your teacher will have all of the supplies ready in the studio for your group to play with clay. You’ll learn the fundamentals of hand building or how to use a pottery wheel, depending on the class you choose. You’ll love spending time doing something tactile and you’ll end your time with new skills and a piece to take home once it’s fired in the kiln.
If you do want to plan a party with drinks in mind, you can always book a cocktail making class with instructions on how to make non-alcoholic drinks. Our workshops are inclusive and your mixologist guide will be sure to tailor recipes to those who are abstaining. Everyone can enjoy their time together with our birthday party ideas in San Francisco.
