Fun Craft classes / courses in New York City

Fun things to do in New York City this weekend

Did you know that many different craft classes are happening in New York City every weekend? Whether you've been crafting your entire life or you've never touched a needle and thread, there's something for everyone in 2023. Don't fret if you're not particularly creative! NYC is an excellent place for discovering your hidden talents. From sneaker customizing to jewelry making, you'll find something interesting to do. Try a pottery class and make a ceramic vase or a candle making class and create a room scent customized for you.

All our fun craft workshops are designed with beginners in mind. All you need to do is relax, meet new crafting friends, and make something with your own two hands. Remember that there's absolutely no pressure to produce something incredible in just a few hours! You can also invite your family and friends to join you in these arts and crafts classes or perhaps, give these to them as gift experiences. Take a tufting workshop in Queens or learn how to make pottery in Brooklyn. Whatever you choose, you're guaranteed to have a great time.

The best thing about these classes? You will learn little tricks of the trade that will make your stuff more original and professional. Whether it's learning how to make candles, blending essential oils, or sewing a fascinator, you'll learn all the industry's best-kept secrets. If you've been wondering what it's like to take a jewelry making class, choose a project that grabs your interest. Our amazing local artists will see to it that you will not only have a well-crafted creation in your hands. So, if you're looking for things to do in NYC this weekend, why not check out a class?

Rejuvenating craft workshops and local experiences

Are your eyes perpetually glued to your screen? This isn't just bad for your body, but also your mental health. Spend a few hours working with your hands to take your mind off of everything that's on your plate. Give yourself plenty of opportunities to escape the daily grind, take care of your mental health, and melt into the comfortably eclectic ateliers and studios across the city. Take a candle making class on the Upper West Side or a sewing class in the West Village and you'll not have an all-around sense of accomplishment, but you'll also get to take home some cool stuff.

Still, crafting is so much more than just the final product. You'll benefit from improved focus and better fine motor skills. If you're looking to solve work problems with out-of-the-box thinking, then taking craft classes may be just what you need to see the world from a different perspective. 

Uncomfortable attending these classes by yourself? Invite a friend along who'll take away some of your social anxiety. You'll have a great time and bond over a shared experience. Don't forget fun crafts for kids, too! An arts and crafts workshop is the ideal opportunity to pause screen time and unleash their artistic side. 

Fun indoor activities 

If you ever find yourself intrigued by a craft class yet unable to make it to a physical location, online craft courses are perfect for you. Whether you're traveling, have a busy schedule, or you're just not near a venue, many local crafters offer their classes via live stream or Zoom. Even better, you don't have to go out of your way to prepare for these classes. 

Your instructor will send you a craft kit, beautifully designed and packaged, with everything you could need for the class. Just pick it up and have it next to you when the live stream starts. What could be easier than that? Our virtual experiences are no different from the in-person ones, so don't worry about missing out on anything. You can still ask our teachers for help at any point!

Get your family and friends together and enjoy a nice craft party together. But beware, our classes might create some awkward and hilarious memories! Wondering about the best way to spend an evening with your partner? Some people might say dinner and a movie, but it may be infinitely more fun to spend your evening crafting together. You'll have the satisfaction of creating something you made together, plus you'll be doing something together for hours. Sounds like the best way to spend your free time!

So, come learn how to craft with our local community of artists. If you prefer in-person lessons, we have dozens of convenient locations right by Williamsburg, SoHo, Tribeca, Harlem, and Greenpoint. With our craft for beginners workshops, you'll never run out of fun things to do in New York City!
