KraftStories was born from a simple but powerful belief: that people deserve moments that feel genuinely human! Founded by four friends who immigrated from Turkey — Nur, Fatih, Akif, and Kadir — the brand grew out of a shared desire to serve, connect, and create something meaningful in the world. Together, they built a space where anyone can slow down, pick up their hands, and make something real — from Turkish mosaic lamps and rug tufting to candle making, terrarium building, and block printing. Every experience is beginner-friendly, all materials are included, and the warm, guided atmosphere makes it easy to just show up and enjoy.With studios across New York, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, Irvine, Austin, and Hawaii — plus virtual workshops available worldwide — KraftStories has welcomed over 30, 000 guests and earned more than 2, 500 glowing Google reviews. Whether it's a birthday, a team outing, a date night, or simply a Tuesday that deserves something better, KraftStories invites everyone in. Trusted by teams at Google, Apple, Spotify, Disney, and hundreds of other companies, they've built something rare: a place where making things together feels like the most natural thing in the world!
