Fun things to do in Chicago this weekend 

If you’ve never considered yourself to be very crafty, it’s time to change your perspective. You'll have the best time trying out creative classes for adults. Learning how to make cool crafts is the perfect activity to enjoy on the weekends or after work. Our teachers provide a laidback and inspiring environment where you can meet other like-minded people, pick up some amazing new talents, and walk away with beautiful handmade items that you made yourself. 

There are a variety of craft workshops to choose from, suited to all tastes and abilities. If you've always wanted to try hand lettering, try one of our popular calligraphy classes and learn how to perfect this beautiful and meditative art form. Do you wish you knew how to make your own jewelry? We have a variety of fun-filled workshops to choose from, including classes specializing in making resin jewelry and more. 

Rejuvenating craft classes and local experiences 

These days, we seem to spend more and more of our time caught up in work or family life, often staring at various screens for hours on end. Taking some time out to try Chicago craft classes is the perfect antidote, giving you a welcome break from the hustle and bustle and helping you to reconnect with yourself.

It’s no secret that learning how to craft can bring many benefits, besides the newfound ability to make wooden furniture by hand or create your own stunning pieces of jewelry. Spending a couple of hours working with your hands and letting your imagination flow freely is very therapeutic and can help reduce stress, introduce mindfulness, and even boost your self-esteem. 

Our diverse range of craft workshops can also be used to mark special occasions or spend some quality time with the people you love. Organize a private class to celebrate a big day – birthday crafts are always lots of fun! – or add some craft classes to your list of bachelorette party ideas. 

Looking for a unique way to thank your hard-working Chicago team? Take a look at our pottery classes for adults. If your colleagues want the full experience you can book a wheel throwing class and everyone can throw down with the guidance of a local artist. If you want a more simple experience, try a hand building class and learn how to pinch a mug or trinket bowl. Everyone will love taking a break from the usual day while spending time on handmade ceramics.  

Fun indoor activities 

If you'd love to try a hands-on crafting session for yourself but don’t have the opportunity to get out to an in-person class, don’t worry – we have a whole host of amazing online craft classes for you to choose from. 

Each of these virtual craft workshops is taught by a friendly and talented professional with plenty of knowledge to share with you. They will guide you step by step through your chosen craft. You'll receive your very own DIY craft box containing all of the materials you’ll need for the session. This box will be delivered to your door, so you don’t have to worry about making any preparations. All you need to do is go online in time for your virtual craft class to start! 

Online craft classes make fun indoor activities for you to enjoy on your own as a rewarding new hobby or with your friends or family. You could even book a special class to share with your partner as one of your cozy date nights in. With so many craft courses available at the click of a button, take a chance on something new and enjoy the beautiful objects you'll add to your home.
