Natalie is a wonderful teacher who creates a warm and friendly atmosphere. She is a very clear, attentive, and helpful instructor and ensured that everyone created something beautiful, from very beginners to those of us with a little more experience. We each made mugs and we used clay “tattoos” in lieu of glaze, since it’s a single-session workshop. The physical space was lovely and had great natural lighting. The clay was fresh and easy to work with and all the tools were in good shape. Definitely a great value for the money, and I was happy to support a small business owner! + more

The occasion was my 25th birthday, I had 8 of my friends take the class with me and it was a great experience. Teacher was kind, intelligent and very patient. I had a great experience and would love to take another class in the future. The food was great too and everyone had a great time
Tanya Grant
Celebrated a friends birthday that really has a love for plants. This class was a really fun way to celebrate while learning a few things about plants. We painted the plant pots which was a great addition. The instructor was friendly, patient and very knowledgeable. Definitely a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Fun birthday ideas and the best experiences in New York City
No matter whose birthday you are celebrating – your own or a loved one’s – it’s a milestone worth making a big deal of! Maybe you need a 40th birthday idea or you’re planning a party for a grandparent and you need an event for all ages. Our workshops in New York have you covered because there are plenty of family-friendly birthday activities in NYC. You can plan a painting class at Central Park and get everyone together for a creative outdoor adventure. Or take a baking class and learn how to make macarons or bake croissants. Pottery birthday parties are a fun way to engage every age and have a blast learning a new craft.
It’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t get excited about food and our cooking classes are designed for maximum fun. You’ll learn from a professional chef in their kitchen or cooking school in NYC. Get step-by-step guidance in a friendly setting so even if your skills stop at making toast, you’ll be able to follow along successfully. Best of all, everyone gets to sit down to an amazing meal you prepared yourselves in honor of the birthday gal or guy.
How to plan a birthday party
The best kind of party planning is the one where you get to relax and enjoy while someone else takes over the details. You don't have to sweat the details when you book one of our creative workshops. Your teacher will have all the supplies ready and plan the perfect experience for you.
If you need a 30th birthday idea, try a trendy birthday idea like a cocktail party where all the guests learn how to make the latest drink recipes with a professional bartender. Show up to a cool speakeasy with your friends and get a private mixology lesson. You’ll learn all about spirits, combining flavored mixers, and adding that extra touch with the perfect garnish. You can make your favorites like espresso martinis or Aperol spritz. This is a memorable way to spend time with friends and a unique approach to celebrating a birthday rather than meeting up at a bar.
No matter what kind of party you’re interested in, you don’t have to do any heavy lifting. If you want to include people of all ages, try a painting party. It’s a great way to learn a new skill with a local artist and you’ll walk away with a piece of art to remember your time together. Or treat your art-loving friends and family with an art walk. You’ll get to discover new corners of the city and learn to appreciate the street art that gives New York its distinct identity. You can even visit artists in their studios in Brooklyn and learn about their process. It's a memorable way to spend time in New York even if you're a local.
Birthday gift ideas for a fantastic time together
Treat the important people in your life to experience gifts that make a birthday stand out. If your mom is celebrating 50, plan a day of candle making or perfume blending for her and her closest friends. It’s a birthday party and self-care rolled into one! Scented candles always make a space feel warm and cozy so creating your own is a great way to personalize them. Use soy wax and natural oils for a clean burn and luxurious feel. If mom loves a delicious scent, perfume making will make a great birthday party and gift. Everyone will learn about the fascinating world of perfumes and create their own fragrance to take home and enjoy.
Do you have a friend who loves buying flowers but is never sure how to arrange them? Treat her to a flower arranging class on her next birthday. Get your friend group together and learn from a local florist with gorgeous seasonal blooms. Not only will everyone leave with a new skill but you’ll also take home a beautiful bouquet to remember your time with your BFF. This
