I got tickets to this class as a 9th anniversary gift (pottery) for my partner. Patrick was a great teacher and we had so much fun trying something new. The small class size and encouraging atmosphere were perfect for us beginners!
Alexis Molinari
Went as a gift for my boyfriend’s birthday! It was great. We had a lot of fun and our dumplings were delicious. Our teacher was very informative, nice, and funny. He continually came around to offer individualized help and did a great demo! All around it was romantic and fun :)
Sophie Bronsil
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!

My partner Beth, who spent several years living in France after college (and still speaks French fluently) had long wanted to learn how to how make croissants so I purchased this class for her birthday. In all the years we have been together I think the class may have been her favorite birthday present thus far which says something. Our instructor Emily was incredibly patient, friendly and wasn't pretentious like so many other professional bakers in New York are. You could also tell she was passionate about her craft which is always great to see.

Hand-Building Ceramics Class: Pet Bowls
My wife and I took the pet bowl class for an upcoming holiday gift exchange, and we were really happy with our decision! Natalie was very nice, helpful, and imformative and created a fun, relaxing environment. I'd never really worked in clay and by the end of the class I was quickly putting together my second bowl without much help or instruction! Two hours went by in a flash, I'd definitely recommend to anybody who wants to spend an afternoon crafting creatively.

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
Ann Marie Rocco
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.
Gina Martinelli
The tickets were a gift for my sister for us to take the class with her two daughters. Several busy months later, we were able to schedule it. It was such a fun class! The instructor is personable, knowledgeable, and very engaging. I would definitely recommend this class!

Great class. Christmas gift to share experience. Loved the atmosphere. Great pesto recipe!! Chef and assistant were awesome.
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!
Edwin Froehlich
I got this for a gift for my girlfriend for valentines day. I printed out ClassBento and let her pick the class of her choosing. She landed on Red Inside Pasta Class and she could not have chose a better class. 100/100. I cannot wait to take another one of their classes! The two chefs were incredible and full of knowledge. Awesome experience, highly recommended.
Christopher Hutton
This was a xmas gift for my partner and we both enjoyed it. Teacher was great spending enough time with everyone to make sure we did not struggle. Venue had enough wheels, space and materials and we did learn the basics as set out. Yes I would recommend this class to any beginners.
Lisa Garcia
Terrarium Workshop: Sip and Plant
Purchased as a gift for my partner, this terrarium-making class met all expectations! The setting was intimate, clean & organized, and the the supplies were excellent quality. On top of that, the instructors were so pleasant and helpful throughout the class. Working with your hands and building something to take care of is so rewarding. Both my partner and I came out of this class happy with what we made and would highly recommend this class!
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!
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!
Clara Smith
The class was great! Instructors were super friendly and helpful! It was a gift for my mom, would recommend.

Context: workshop gifted to me by my partner because she knows I like to swing by cologne counters and check out offerings. 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.

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.
Last minute Mother’s Day gifts with a personal touch
Don’t panic if you’ve waited until it’s too late to ship a gift because a gift card can take care of any time crunch. Your mom can choose from hundreds of in-person and online classes that come with DIY kits.
If you live far from each other, take a look at our virtual workshops. There are so many creative possibilities from arm knitting to terrarium making. You can include all your loved ones scattered across the state or country and do something fun and memorable. With an online link, you can connect with each other and have fun learning something new like making a floral wreath or painting a pet portrait with supplies that get sent to your door.
Make it easy on yourself and buy a gift card for Mom in 2024 that you know won’t get lost in a drawer or forgotten inside a card. It will get delivered to her inbox so she can use it right away. Plus, with all the possibilities you’ll know she’ll find a workshop that fits her interests and nurtures her curiosity.
