This plant hanger macrame workshop with Lesle was the highlight of my week! I got this as a gift for my mom's birthday, prior to booking - Leslie was very communicative and helped me arrange the datesThis plant hanger macrame workshop with Lesle was the highlight of my week! I got this as a gift for my mom's birthday, prior to booking - Leslie was very communicative and helped me arrange the dates and expectation for the workshop. During the workshop, she provided amazing instructions on how to create our own first plant hanger! My mom absolutely loved this workshop and that's what made me the happiest. We both thought that making this are was going to be very difficult but were surprised at the beatuy we created in the end thanks to Leslie's instructions! Though we booked a group class, my mom and I were the only ones in the workshop - and I'd highly recommend a private class as we had a more intimate and detailed instructions, with patience and care. My mom and I went to Michael's later that day to get some cords of our own to keep the technique fresh! + more

Sara is a fantastic teacher and has a real gift for making woodworking feel approachable, fun, and totally doable. She explains things clearly and thoroughly, and she’s always nearby, paying attention and ready to jump in with guidance or hands-on help. I never felt lost or intimidated, even using the power tools that were completely new to me. Super cool to learn with a small group of women. Plus, I’m silly proud of my cutting board and can’t wait to return to Strong Wood Studio. + more

What a wonderful evening of learning and creating with Robin. She is an exceptionally gifted artisan who brings decades of experience across an extraordinary range of textile arts, from sashiko embroidery,What a wonderful evening of learning and creating with Robin. She is an exceptionally gifted artisan who brings decades of experience across an extraordinary range of textile arts, from sashiko embroidery, stumpwork, and natural fabric dyeing to blackwork, which she studied during her time in London. Her years in the New York fashion industry are evident not only in the depth of her knowledge, but in the generosity and ease with which she shares it. Robin welcomed us into her home studio and created such a warm, patient environment for learning. The time flew by. She was thorough without making the process feel rigid, and the kit included a generous variety of supplies that were useful during the workshop and allowed us to continue our projects afterward. I spent much of my time learning and practicing sashiko stitching, and one of the things I appreciated most was the freedom of visible mending itself. There is less emphasis on perfection and more appreciation for the rugged, lived-in, vintage character of something repaired, renewed, and made beautiful again. I always feel like that’s a reflection of my own life… An unexpected highlight was seeing Robin’s blackwork and hearing her describe the similarities she has observed between historic European blackwork patterns and Japanese needlework. As a Christian, I found myself thinking about God as Creator and the creativity He has placed within those He created. Long before the internet made it possible for us to see one another’s work instantly, people across cultures were creating patterns, order, beauty, and meaning with their hands. There was something deeply moving to me about seeing echoes of that creativity across traditions. Robin’s artistry is exquisite, but so is her willingness to share what she has learned over a lifetime. I left with new skills, an unfinished piece I’m excited to keep working on, and an even greater appreciation for the gift of creating with our hands. I would absolutely take another class with her. + more

It was such a special and meaningful experience for us to share together! Kat was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about the art of kintsugi. I loved hearing about her own journey, what she has learned from her mentors, and how she has taken this ancient art and added a modern twist that makes the experience reflective, thoughtful, creative, and very enjoyable. Kat puts so much care into preparing her students and takes the extra time to guide and support you through each step of the process. You can really tell how much she loves what she does! We had a wonderful time, learned a lot, and walked away with our own kintsugi pieces and a special memory together. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a unique and meaningful experience! + more
Mother's Day Experience Gifts NYC
Mother’s Day Ideas and Presents
If you’re always scrambling to find the perfect gift, we get it. It’s not always easy to come up with original ideas every year, especially when your parent seems to have everything. That’s why our creative workshops are ideal presents for every type of mom. It’s an easy way to make your mom - or the mother figure in your life - happy with a unique experience.
Does your mom love to watch the latest craft trends on TikTok or is she inspired by all things DIY? She can try rug tufting in Queens or woodworking in Brooklyn. These activities are great for the creative and practical mom who appreciates learning a new skill. She can roll up her sleeves, make a tufted rug or a copper lamp, and add a handmade object to her home. The best part is gaining the skills to keep making more original works and having access to incredible teachers across NYC.
Even if she’s never tried a class before, the instructor will put her at ease. Our workshops are geared toward beginners and offer a welcoming space to try something new. From baking French croissants to painting in the style of Georgia O’Keeffe, we have a workshop to help mom explore her creative side.
Best Mother’s Day gifts to spend quality time
One of the best things about Mother’s Day is carving out time to spend with your mom. Share a class and take your celebration beyond brunch with mimosas. You can take a walk around your favorite neighborhoods or even new corners of the city with an art walk. Your guide will show you street art and give insight into each work. It’s a fun way to spend the day and get in your steps!
Maybe your mom has always wanted to try making pottery. You learn how in a local studio by learning wheel throwing. An expert NYC potter will be your guide, showing you all the basics and offering valuable advice. Best of all, you’ll be able to bring home a lovely reminder of your time together, whether it’s a vase, mug, or another ceramic object.
If self-care is the goal, a candle making or skincare workshop would make an excellent experience gift to share. You can learn how to create custom candles with your favorite scents and go home with beautifully hand-poured candles to burn, or make customized lotions and body butters with the advice of an expert in Manhattan. Whether you or your mom is into keeping things chill, these are ideal experiences to share for Mother’s Day.
Last minute Mother’s Day gifts with a personal touch
Don’t panic if you’ve waited until it’s too late to ship a gift because a gift card can take care of any time crunch. Your mom can choose from hundreds of in-person and online classes that come with DIY kits.

You can include all your loved ones scattered across the state or country and do something fun and memorable. With an online link, you can connect with each other and have fun learning something new like making a floral wreath or painting a pet portrait with supplies that get sent to your door.
Make it easy on yourself and buy a gift card for Mom in 2026 that you know won’t get lost in a drawer or forgotten inside a card. It will get delivered to her inbox so she can use it right away.
