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). Would rec  + more

Christina L Solazzo




We went for a friend's bday present experience. The instructor was great! He demonstrated what we had to do and made sure we were on track. We had a fun time, and the macarons came out well! Thanks for a great experience!

Baking and Desserts class review by Christina L Solazzo - New York City


Justine Raymond




This class was incredible! I bought the class as a surprise gift for my partner and we each made one knife each. Our instructor Arlene was so helpful, funny, inspiring, and had a great taste in music. The effort was somehow both easier and harder than expected (my arms are spaghetti), but the teacher was available to help if you were struggling. To be able to leave with a handmade knife was amazing!  + more

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!

Nina Cheng




Great class with helpful instructors. I took a friend for a birthday gift and it was fun! Everyone was new to pottery and had the chance to make something they could later take home.


Yessmeen Moharram




Christian was so great!! We loved the energy! The space was cute, christian was so kind & everything felt so easy to follow. And super easy to get our gift card! We also spent it immediately on some insensé lol


Anna Guaglione




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.


Anonymized ClassBento student




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.


Paul Oh




A wonderful and educational class! EunYoung is very knowledgeable and patient as a teacher, she was so helpful teaching us all about matcha and how to make a proper cup. She went through the history, origins, types, and instruction on how to prepare matcha. I bought this course as a gift for my wife’s birthday and she enjoyed it a lot. I would recommend anyone who enjoys matcha to try this class. The shop she teaches in is cute too.


Evan Jaffee




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. I  + more


Doan Buu




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.


Moongelina Hanson




Brittany and Cristian made the experience fun and comfortable, truly loved it. I think the cost for the class was really worth it, and the scents are to die for. I will be telling all my friends and anyone asking for recommendations for fun and relaxing to do in NYC. I also love the gift shop and how it felt like a little secret hang out when we went to where the class was taking place, it was a very  + more

My all time favorite store to shop and browse around when in Bushwick!!!! The atmosphere is always so cozy and they’re always playing the tunes! My partner and I recently did their candle making class and it was probably one of the best experiences we’ve done this year. The candle making studio is so nice and intimate, it’s perfect for a date night! Cristian and Britt were very helpful and  + more

Michele Chirichella Gervat




Great class. Christmas gift to share experience. Loved the atmosphere. Great pesto recipe!! Chef and assistant were awesome.


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.


Abigail Gepner




I got this as a gift for my partner's birthday – neither of us had done a cooking class before, but we cook a decent amount at home so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a full class, but Stefano and Dona did an excellent job of being attentive to everyone making sure we all got to participate in different parts of the process. Even as someone who is an experienced home cook, I came away learning a lot and the food was delicious! It was neat getting to try our hands at making the three different types of pasta from scratch. As a bonus, they  + more


Lisa Garcia




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!


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 knife  + more


Matthew Talmage




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. 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  + more
