Gail Lennon • Aug 2024
took the workshop as a birthday gift for a friend, the teacher was very knowledgeable and engaging. The venue was intimate and in a secure building. That atmosphere was pleasant with nice music in the background. I liked learning how to create a fragrance and the different notes. The class was a great value for the money and I enjoyed hands on learning experience.

My daughter bought me a gift card for Christmas, to take a cooking class at the Kitchen Engine! It was so educational and fun!! The instructor was fun and easy to understand! The food was delicious! I will do more classes in the future!

Not just for doll enthusiasts or creatives, this wonderful class is for everyone! I didn't fancy dolls much as a child. I had a few but preferred to play with my bear stuffies instead. I didn't know about the magic that could be found in dolls. I have attended Peggy's wonderful workshop twice now. Both times I was swept up in the joy and freedom of play and creativity. Being a person who strugglesNot just for doll enthusiasts or creatives, this wonderful class is for everyone! I didn't fancy dolls much as a child. I had a few but preferred to play with my bear stuffies instead. I didn't know about the magic that could be found in dolls. I have attended Peggy's wonderful workshop twice now. Both times I was swept up in the joy and freedom of play and creativity. Being a person who struggles with embodiment, the bold colors, the soft textures, the soothing sounds of jazz in Peggy's workshop were all potent ingredients for a blissful two hours of meditative flow. I felt so much calm, ease and tranquility while creating my Stafford Dolls. In so many ways both dolls are mirrors into unknown areas of my psyche. I have learned so much about myself in the process of both creating and owning these beautifully crafted dolls. They sit adjacent to my desk and are ever present companions providing inspiration and comfort. Peggy is a masterful facilitator. She lovingly guides you through the entire creative process and you are in charge of every last lovely detail from the hair, to adornments, and clothing of the doll. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who would like to connect to themselves and others. This creativity through play is magical and I can not say enough wonderful things about the workshop. Thank you Peggy for providing us with this amazing experience! + more

Bladesmithing Class: Railroad Spike Knife
I booked this class as a birthday gift for my partner and am very glad I did. The class was AMAZING and this was due to our teacher being very knowledgeable, funny, patient, and passionate about blacksmithing. The venue was awesome and we were able to see so much creativity from the other people using the giant space. All of the materials were provided to cover making the blades as well as safety.I booked this class as a birthday gift for my partner and am very glad I did.

We learned how to take a railroad spike and make it into a knife and it was more fun than I imagined it would be. It felt like going behind the curtain and a little back in time. I loved that we got so much time working with the materials and tools and I would ABSOLUTELY take this class again. + more

Terrarium Workshop: Sip and Plant
Came here with my BFF as a birthday gift and it was great! Loved that the terrarium glass was large and of good quality.

Experience Gifts for Mom NYC
Why experience gift cards make the best gift ideas
Moms are often busy taking care of others before themselves, so remind them to take a day for themselves with a gift card. Instead of a restaurant or department store gift card, give them an unforgettable experience instead. Your mom will be able to take some time to recharge and reconnect with herself, spend time doing something fun, and learn a new skill or pick up a hobby. There’s no better gift than some time off, and a class in NYC is the perfect way to turn away from screens and daily distractions and enjoy a new experience.
If your mom loves creative activities or trying new things, a gift card for a unique experience might be the perfect gift idea for her! Skip the stress, and let her do the shopping through a wide range of beginner classes to find something that fits her interests and schedule. She’ll be able to choose from both in-person classes in NYC and online classes she can do at home. She might even want to sign up with a group of friends looking for fun things to do in NYC or for a group craft night at home with a DIY kit.
Unforgettable Mother’s Day Gifts
While we should show our mom and mother figures appreciation every day of the year, Mother’s Day is a great reminder to spoil them. Instead of gifting flowers or a trip to the spa this year, bring a self-care day to them. Treat your mom to a spa day at home and learn how to make bath bombs with a DIY craft kit. Or learn flower arranging from a local NYC florist, and learn how to make beautiful custom floral arrangements that will stand out over a store-bought bouquet.
Moms appreciate nothing more than spending time with their children, show your appreciation by taking a little time out of your day to bond over a fun DIY project with your mom. With a wide variety of classes in NYC, you can schedule an experience together that you will both enjoy. Whether you live in town and want to go out for an art class in NYC or if you live thousands of miles away and log on for a virtual cooking class to enjoy a home-cooked meal together, you’ll be creating lifelong memories!
Unique Christmas/Birthday Presents for Mom
Christmas and birthdays can be hectic times, especially when you’re out of gift ideas for mom. Instead of giving your mom something she’ll set aside or rushing to find the perfect present, make finding a gift for mom easy and memorable with a gift experience.

You can also invite others to join in on the excitement, and celebrate a milestone birthday with a cocktail class in NYC with friends and family. Or spend a cozy birthday at home and enjoy a DIY candlemaking kit or a virtual chocolate tasting experience. From cake decorating classes to pottery classes in NYC, there are many birthday gift ideas you’ll mom will love!
Christmas gifts for mom can also be a challenge, but now you can stand out from years past, with a gift experience such as classes in NYC.

Whether she’s concocting something in her kitchen at all hours or inviting people over for coffee and a crafty afternoon, you can take the time to bond over her favorite creative activity or learn a new one. Make flower arrangements, try painting with a twist, or make croissants with a professional baker. There are so many possibilities in New York and each class is accessible for all, even complete beginners. Ready to discover your next adventure with mom? Read on for our favorites! Try terrariums with a plant person If your mom loves plants, you can try a workshop to take her green thumb to the next level. Try a terrarium making class and create more greenspace indoors. You’ll learn all about these miniature ecosystems inside a glass jar and how to create the perfect environment for plants to thrive. The best part of your class is choosing the succulents and decorative elements to build out your terrarium. It may even be the hardest part! You’ll layer soil, small rocks, and moss to create the right base for your plants to grow while learning about the proper drainage, watering, and sunlight your terrarium needs. Your teacher will guide you every step of the way and make sure you have all the information you need when you take your terrarium home so you’ll enjoy it for a long time to come. Speaking of moss, did you know they make really cool wall art? Take a class in NYC that will have you crafting a decorative frame with colorful moss and other adorable elements. Sip wine, have great conversations, and put your glue gun skills to good use. You’ll leave relaxed and happy that you got to chill out with your mom. Learn how to make jewelry There are so many ways to adorn yourself and just as many ways to learn how to DIY jewelry. With a jewelry making class, you can learn a variety of skills from metalsmithing to creating resin earrings. If your mom loves the look of silver jewelry, you can take a class together and learn how to make silver rings. Whether you’re fabricating from metal or learning wax carving to cast a ring out of metal, this is an in-depth introduction to jewelry making skills. Even if you’re a beginner, you don’t have to stress because your expert instructor will show you how to go step-by-step. Maybe you want to try something more simple? You can make polymer clay earrings in a low-key class. Clay jewelry is easy to make and a colorfully fun material to work with. The tools are simpler to use than metalsmithing and you’ll get instant results once you cure the polymer clay. When you take a jewelry making class, you’ll get to focus on a creative activity while spending quality time with your mom. When you’re done, you’ll have beautiful wearable art that you made with your own hands! Paint a pretty picture Does your mom love any project that requires a paintbrush? Then an engaging painting class could be exactly what you both need. Our painting classes make unique gift experiences, whether you want to try a sip and paint workshop, try an abstract canvas project, or you are thinking outside of the box with graffiti art. New York is a world destination for art and there are plenty of talented artists in the city to teach you a new skill. If your mom is a museum member, then treat her to an art experience she won’t forget. A street art tour around Brooklyn is a great way to learn about an art form that’s culturally tied to New York. Or take a walk in lower Manhattan with an art tour. You’ll pop into galleries in Tribeca, SoHo, and other neighborhoods while learning about art history with an expert. It’s a new way to enjoy your city and learn something new about the art scene. Craft your own cocktails with a mixology class Maybe what you really want to do with your mom is unwind and let loose. There’s nothing more suited for lowkey party vibes like an NYC cocktail making class. If your mom loves to entertain this is a way for her to expand her hostessing skills. An expert mixologist will teach you some trending recipes, as well as the classics. Get familiar with the tools and ingredients that every bartender needs to serve up a tasty, well-balanced drink. Make a margarita recipe with a modern twist or a negroni that everyone will be talking about the next time you have people over. This is an NYC experience that’s as unforgettable as it is fun! Show off on your socials with a tufting class There’s a reason why tufting is trending these days. It looks super fun and you get to make something amazing!

Your craft-loving mom will appreciate trying something new and you can stretch your own skills. Meet interesting people in the class, share a fun experience with your mom, and walk away with a cute project to display at home. ...
