Our workshops are some of the best Chicago activities for locals and visitors alike. Embrace your creativity by stopping into art studios on the South Side and chef's kitchens in the West Loop, where you will learn fun and exciting new skills you can develop into rewarding hobbies. Looking for bachelorette party ideas? Explore a paint and sip class where everyone can make a piece of art to hang on their wall or learn how to cook the bride-to-be's favorite international cuisine from a professional chef. Chi-town is your oyster! Our teachers pride themselves on creating relaxing and welcoming class environments where students can feel safe trying new things for the first time. Almost all of our Chicago workshops are beginner-friendly, so all you have to bring is an open mind and a sense of fun!
Our simple booking website makes it easy for you to schedule our classes. Whether you're planning a cute date night in Lincoln Park or putting together team building activities for a big company, booking with us is a stress-free experience. It's just a matter of choosing which of our fun Chicago workshops is right for you! We offer both public and private classes, and many of our teachers are open to custom requests to amend your experience. If you have an idea, just reach out and inquire about it.
Looking for a unique wedding gift for a special couple or gifts for mom that will truly show your appreciation for her? Our workshops make fabulous experience gifts, where the recipient not only gets a custom handmade item to take home, but they also make lasting memories and gain new skills.
Does the grind of the workweek sometimes get you down or make you feel burned out? Rest assured that our Chicago art, craft, and cooking workshops can help bring you back to center. You'll feel the stress lift from your body as you sink your hands into soothing clay at a pottery wheel class or learn the repetitive, meditative motions of how to knit a blanket. Plus, the benefits will last long after you leave class. You'll learn skills that you can continue to develop in your free time, which will help you to destress in healthy ways and give you the rewarding sense of confidence that comes from completing projects.
Thinking about starting a new hobby can be overwhelming and a big investment. Our range of classes gives you the chance to sample whatever activities intrigue you in the form of manageable, one-off sessions. (We also offer some series classes that go on for several weeks at a time, if that's your bag!) Our instructors almost always provide all the materials you need, so all you need to do is show up with an open mind. In addition to learning new creative skills, our classes are designed to foster your social wellbeing as well. They're a great way to connect with friends in new and different ways and have fun experiencing the joys of learning something new together. Booking into our public classes is also a great way to make new friends, as you meet locals with similar interests.
If you're wondering what to do when bored at home, our collection of online classes brings the fun right to your door. With craft kits delivered to you in the mail and fun virtual experiences hosted by teachers from Chicago and throughout the United States, you're bound to find something that enlivens your spirit - without even getting out of your PJs! If the Chicago winter has you wanting to hunker down, we don't blame you! Why not spend an afternoon making bath bombs with one of our DIY craft kits, so you can ease your winter blues with a cozy at-home spa experience?
Online cooking classes are a great way to add some spice to your weekends. If you have family spread across the country, cooking a special dish together or learning some easy cocktails to make at home with a virtual mixology class can give you a chance to laugh, share, and socialize as you learn something new together. At the end of class, you'll get to have a little virtual party where you can enjoy eating, drinking, and catching up together.
