I enjoyed this mosaic class! Located in a convenient spot in Brooklyn, we were given just the right amount of guidance whilst also having lots of unguided time where we could explore our creativity and have a chat. The little mosaic pieces were fun to work with and I’m pleased with my creation, I gave it as a gift for my mum and she loves it (I’m not a good plant parent myself).

This class is definitely worth the price, Elena also said she does a watercolor and drawing class! Overall, I would recommend this class to anyone interested in learning how to paint or just wanting to try something in the city. + more

Alzerina has a true gift for breaking down complex techniques in a way that makes jewelry making accessible and fun. Her bubbly personality, funny jokes, and wonderful guidance made this experience magical! By the end of the class, I had created a cool red style bracelet that I can't believe I made myself! Alzerina’s positive reinforcement and encouragement gave me the confidence to experiment. I'm already signed up for the next session - I'm hooked! If you want to have a fun and good energy time, this class is a must. Her teaching is simply brilliant, and she'll have you laughing, learning, and loving every minute. Trust me, your creativity is in good hands!! + more

I bought this class as a gift for a friend of mine and we had the best time. We had never done pottery before and yet we managed to make a piece that we were proud of. The guidance and support of the teacher is awesome as it is a small group so she has time to come help you whenever you need. I would definitely recommend and I am looking forward to going back!

Was such a fun experience and our instructor was very lovely. I gave it as a gift for my friends birthday and we had a fantastic time. The scents were so nice, and the candle turned out exactly how we were hoping. The vibes were great all around, and of course the wine was a fun addition to the experience. Would 100% do it again and would recommend for friends or couples.

I booked a class for my birthday with a few friends. Everyone loved the class! The teachers made it so fun with candle trivia, helping pour drinks, and just creating an overall incredible vibe. They even gave us all gift cards to use in the shop. I really recommend the class for any event or if you want to just find a fun activity to do with friends.

The candle making studio is so nice and intimate, it’s perfect for a date night! Cristian and Britt were very helpful and walked us through the entire process which was lovely. You get to choose your own vessel and scents and a large candle for $75 which is a steal. Not only do you get the candle making experience, they add a $10 gift certificate to shop in the store and a complimentary drink!! We had a blast and will be definitely be back. Higgghhllyyy recommend to do this with friends and loved ones!!! + more

This was a gift to me from family as I always wanted to learn how to make mozzarella. I thought the class size was nice and enabled the teacher to be very engaged with the class. The teacher was great and very personable. She made it very enjoyable. I liked being able to jump right into making cheese, was fun.
Amanda Cepeda
Took my mom for s mother's day gift and it was very cute and great small class allowed for extra attention. The instructor was very sweet and well informed!
Phallan Grossman
I got this class as a gift for my best friend as her 25th birthday present. We both absolutely loved this experience. One thing I loved was we learned the overall process of making perfume. If we didn't know what we liked, he guided us through it. I highly recommend, to go with friends, family or a significant other!
Orri Cohen
Very fun and easy to learn. Great birthday gift for my wife and I to do together.
Pj Linen
We had a great time in our class, it was a perfect birthday present for my boyfriend. He felt like he was on the show Forged in Fire and had a great time. It was a great beginner class, we could do things ourselves but always had our teacher right there to answer any questions or guide us in the right direction. We’ve already talked about doing a next level class!
Carson Elrod
This is a GREAT time. I was given this class as a Christmas present and it's one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. The class size is small. My teacher was Gerard, and he was warm, nurturing, enthusiastic, encouraging, skilled, and patient. This is a no-nonsense class where you really learn by doing. There's a quick hello and then you're geared up and pounding on molten pieces of rebar like you're a Viking blacksmith forging a sword. After hammering, shaping, quenching, grinding, and weaving, four hours later you leave the workshop with a knifeThis is a GREAT time.

Workshop: Michelle lead our workshop with much info, ease and aplomb! She started out with a few slides with information on perfume structure and scent categorization then quickly pivoted to passing around and smelling scent samples from their collection.

Andbest gift EVER! Workshop: Michelle lead our workshop with much info, ease and aplomb! She started out with a few slides with information on perfume structure and scent categorization then quickly pivoted to passing around and smelling scent samples from their collection. We smelled a dizzying number of scents (I had to re-up on the mimosa 1/2 way through) as Michelle explained how each was derived/extracted; its characteristics and behavior in relation to other scents; and common pairings/combinations. If we liked the scent we dipped our tester strip into the sample and kept it at our workstation. The next step was to use our sample strips to come up with a combination we liked and create our own perfume. I appreciated her encouragement for creativity and intuition on our part during this process as much as she was willing to make suggestions when asked to do so by one of my fellow workshop mates. My group was small (7 total), diverse, friendly and engaged; overall, a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere that Saturday morning. Our workshop leader, Michelle, provided tons of information but avoided lecturing, listened intently to and provided answers to questions throughout the workshop. I had a great time immersed in smelling and designing. It reminded me of wine tasting where you set aside time to compare and explore with one of your senses--but here you walk away with your own creation! If you're at all curious or interested in scents, perfumes, colognes, I highly recommend this workshop. + more
Mother's Day Gifts and Presents NYC
Mother’s Day Ideas and Presents
If you’re always scrambling to find the perfect gift, we get it. It’s not always easy to come up with original ideas every year, especially when your parent seems to have everything. That’s why our creative workshops are ideal presents for every type of mom. It’s an easy way to make your mom - or the mother figure in your life - happy with a unique experience.
Does your mom love to watch the latest craft trends on TikTok or is she inspired by all things DIY? She can try rug tufting in Queens or woodworking in Brooklyn. These activities are great for the creative and practical mom who appreciates learning a new skill. She can roll up her sleeves, make a tufted rug or a copper lamp, and add a handmade object to her home. The best part is gaining the skills to keep making more original works and having access to incredible teachers across NYC.
Even if she’s never tried a class before, the instructor will put her at ease. Our workshops are geared toward beginners and offer a welcoming space to try something new. From baking French croissants to painting in the style of Georgia O’Keeffe, we have a workshop to help mom explore her creative side.
Best Mother’s Day gifts to spend quality time
One of the best things about Mother’s Day is carving out time to spend with your mom. Share a class and take your celebration beyond brunch with mimosas. You can take a walk around your favorite neighborhoods or even new corners of the city with an art walk. Your guide will show you street art and give insight into each work. It’s a fun way to spend the day and get in your steps!
Maybe your mom has always wanted to try making pottery. You learn how in a local studio by learning wheel throwing. An expert NYC potter will be your guide, showing you all the basics and offering valuable advice. Best of all, you’ll be able to bring home a lovely reminder of your time together, whether it’s a vase, mug, or another ceramic object.
If self-care is the goal, a candle making or skincare workshop would make an excellent experience gift to share. You can learn how to create custom candles with your favorite scents and go home with beautifully hand-poured candles to burn, or make customized lotions and body butters with the advice of an expert in Manhattan. Whether you or your mom is into keeping things chill, these are ideal experiences to share for Mother’s Day.
