Make pottery with a sip and clay class

If you have an unapologetic wine mom, learning how to make pottery while sipping on her favorite red or white counts as a fun night out! Even if she’s never worked with clay before, our NYC pottery classes are great for beginners.

You’ll learn from a local artist in a welcoming studio setting. Show up with clothes you can get messy in and get ready to learn the fundamentals. From hand building techniques to using tools to create surface designs, you’ll be able to create a mug, vase, or dish in no time.

While you’re at it, you can BYOB or purchase a glass at the venue and enjoy a relaxing night of creativity. This is a great way to finally learn a skill you’ve always wanted to try. There’s no pressure to get something right, your instructor will make sure you understand the process without stress. Appreciate your artistic journey while making a piece of pottery to take home and commemorate your time together.

Create your own fragrance with a perfume making class

If you have fond memories of your mother’s perfume, then helping mom create her own signature scent may be just the workshop for you! This class gets down to the nitty-gritty of the perfume process from mixing ingredients, understanding carrier oils, and learning how to bottle your fragrance.

It’s a great way to learn fascinating perfume history and get hands-on with a unique activity. Take a deep dive into scents, like learning about top notes versus base notes and how to blend. Find out why a roller-ball container might be your preference compared to a traditional glass bottle with a spray or atomizer.

When your class is done, you’ll both have customized perfume to enjoy and new scent memories of a wonderful time together. 

Stop and smell the roses at a flower arranging class

Instead of ordering a bouquet for your mom’s birthday or for Mother’s Day this year, consider treating her to a floristry class. It’s a more memorable gift and an excellent excuse to spend mother-daughter time. 

Our flower arranging classes don’t require any experience so you can show up as a beginner and be able to follow along. Your teacher will have tools and flowers ready for you, as you learn how to make bouquets, wreaths, flower crowns, or whatever project you want to learn.

Creative workshops let you share an experience in a whole new way. You can bond over trying something completely new and learning together. Working with flowers is a lovely way to work with natural materials and have something beautiful to bring home when you are done.

Light up her life with custom candles

If your mom’s biggest wish on her birthday is to spend more time with you, a candle making class is an ideal activity to do together. Celebrate mom’s big day by booking a class in NYC and get into a crafty new hobby that’s as illuminating as it is fun! Candle making is the perfect gift idea for creative Moms in NYC!

If you want to use natural ingredients, learn how to make soy wax candles with cotton wicks and clean fragrances. Your teacher will walk you through each step so you can make your candles with ease.

Not only will you learn the process of making candles to burn at home, but you will also learn where to source your supplies so you can keep going. This is a fun way for your mom - or for you - to make candles for a side hustle or to give as gifts. 

Learn how to create DIY skincare 

If your mom takes her skincare routine seriously, learning how to create your own moisturizers and serums is a great way to spend quality time with each other. If you have fond memories of trying your mom’s beauty products, this is a way to create new ones.

Our workshops teach you about getting your skin in peak condition with quality ingredients. Learn how to use botanical oils, exfoliants, and enriching emollients to make skincare that’s right for your needs. You’ll have this unique experience that’s a recipe for glowing skin and an amazing time!

You could buy flowers or fancy chocolates to celebrate your mom, but if sharing time together sounds like a more active way to show love for the important woman in your life, try our experience gifts in NYC!
