Cyril Scovens Ii




Elena was an amazing instructor very kind and patient. I purchased this class as an anniversary gift to my girlfriend and I. Everything was provided from the smock to the painting utensils. You learn how to sketch from a reference photo, how to mix paint to make colors lighter or darker, and of course how to paint using oil based paint. Elena was a hands on instructor not shying away from helping you  + more

Christine Gnieski




I got tickets to this class as a 9th anniversary gift (pottery) for my partner. Patrick was a great teacher and we had so much fun trying something new. The small class size and encouraging atmosphere were perfect for us beginners!

Shreya Deshmukh




This class was a birthday gift from my partner, and it blew away my (already high) expectations. I thoroughly recommend this class because of the incredible quality of Grace's teaching, and because of the amazing food we made together. We had so much fun, and the meal was so delicious! Grace kindly makes sure that you really understand the process, and that you get hands-on experience on every step  + more

Such a great experience!! Instructor was super clear and the materials were nice for making all different types of resin jewelry. Such a fun bday gift for my sister, would absolutely come back to the studio for any of their other offerings! So cool and a nice chill space.

Alexis Molinari




Went as a gift for my boyfriend’s birthday! It was great. We had a lot of fun and our dumplings were delicious. Our teacher was very informative, nice, and funny. He continually came around to offer individualized help and did a great demo! All around it was romantic and fun :)

Cooking class review by Alexis Molinari - New York City


Constance Redmon




Nur had a very welcoming personality and introduced me to a lot creative options with resin. I was intimidated with the idea of using it, and Nur talked me through it and led me to feel more comfortable with it. I took this class as a gift from a friend, and I don't think I would have ever taken one on my own accord. I feel so much more excited with other ideas and to do projects with my child, now.  + more

Mason was amazing and was extremely patient and clear with his instructions. I highly recommend taking the pottery wheel class with him. I took my family here for a surprise birthday gift for my mom and she loved it.

Cocktail class review by Michael Shea - New York City


Gretchen Gray




This class was great! I really enjoyed the instruction and tips from Jo. This is a fun way to craft a gift for yourself or someone else. The kit comes with a file and two wax rings. You can work out your design with the first ring and then have a second to make it better. Or make two rings (there would be an additional cost to have two rings cast. The course fee covers the cost of casting one silver  + more

Bona Jeong




Melanie was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions in details and thoughtful manner. I always wanted to learn about candle making for hobby, and this amazing birthday gift from my sister gave me this chance! This specific venue got a little noisy in the end as the customers started to come in for lunch. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who has interest just  + more

I brought my husband here for his birthday to make a survival knife. I did the buddy up option since he would be the one mostly working on it and it was great. Honestly, the best time ever. He enjoyed the entire process and we may even go back to create more items! Our instructor was pretty cool and really sweet, made sure we were getting our desired shape of the knife. Our end result looked amazing! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for unique gift ideas or date nights!


Susan Huynh




Kaz was an amazing teacher! He made the class fun and exciting for us to learn about making sushi. He has a great sense of humor too! Definitely brought home a skill for sushi making and a lot food to eat. Highly recommend you take this class with a friend/family (or a group of people) or as a fun date with someone who loves to cook. I brought my boyfriend to this class as his birthday gift and he loved it!
