Fun things to do in Oakland this weekend
Our workshops are some of the best things to do in Oakland for locals and visitors alike. Embrace your curiosity by stepping off the beaten path and venturing into artists' studios in Piedmont and chef's kitchens near Lake Merritt, where you will learn fun and exciting new skills you can develop into rewarding hobbies. Our teachers pride themselves on creating relaxing and welcoming class environments where students can feel safe to try new things for the first time. Almost all of our Oakland workshops are beginner-friendly, so all you have to bring is an open mind and a sense of fun!
Our simple and straightforward booking platform makes it easy for you to schedule our classes. Whether you're planning a date night in Oakland or putting together team building activities for a big company, booking with us is a stress-free experience. It's just a matter of choosing which of our fun Oakland workshops is right for you! Looking for bachelorette party ideas? Sign up for our floral crown headdress class, where you and your friends can make gorgeous accessories and then set out on the town in style. Hoping for a way to unwind after work that doesn't involve staring at a screen? Book a sip and paint class, where you can create a gorgeous piece of art and mingle with new friends over a glass of wine.
Rejuvenating workshops and local experiences
Our Oakland experiences give you the chance to take some time for yourself and focus on having fun and destressing. Art, craft, and cooking classes have proven wellbeing benefits, and the best part is you'll learn skills you can continue to develop into new hobbies that you can enjoy for a long time. If you have a friend or relative in need of a pick-me-up, why not treat them to an experience gift and take an art class together? You will love the feeling of spreading the good vibes around.
Whether you're searching for pottery classes that will allow you to sink your hands into soft, smooth clay or cooking classes that will give you and your family the chance to level-up your at home pizza making, we've got plenty of options for things to do in Oakland, from Jack London Square to Fruitvale. You can even make unique gifts for mom in our Oakland workshops. For example, learn to knit a cozy, chunky blanket or a fascinator style floral headdress.
Our teachers usually provide all the materials you need, so all you have to do is show up ready to learn and have fun. There are plenty of options for both public and private workshops on our platform. Joining a public paint and sip event that happens regularly might be a great option for your date night in Oakland, while booking a private cocktail making class that comes to your workplace could be an excellent option for your team building event.
Fun indoor activities
Looking for things to do at home? We've got you covered there, too. Many of our teachers offer live classes online with craft kits shipped to you, so you can join in the fun of learning a new hobby from the comfort of your own home. If your friends are scattered around the country (or even the world!), host a virtual party where you can all get together remotely and participate in a fun, hands-on activity together. If you're searching for zoom birthday party ideas, gift an experience of our virtual cocktail class, which gives you the chance to learn mixology at home, plus the chance to share a toast to learning new things with your friends!
Our food and drink tasting virtual experiences make excellent choices if you're looking for virtual team building cooking classes. With our online coffee tasting experience, for example, everyone on your team will get a kit delivered to them with different roasted coffees to taste. Afterwards, there's sure to be plenty to talk about over your morning cup of coffee at work.
Just like our in-person workshops, friendly, expert instructors teach our live online classes and create welcoming, relaxing environments. You'll be able to follow along step-by-step, and you'll have all the materials you need, delivered in one of our DIY craft kits.
Our virtual team building activities let you bond with your co-workers while everyone is working from home. From virtual escape rooms to hands-on arts and crafts, you can find all kinds of fun and engaging experiences for your team. We make it easy for you to find the right fit for your group size and interests.
