Textiles classes for beginners

Whether you’re looking for things to do in New York City with friends or gain a new skill to take back with you for crafts at home, a textiles class is a perfect way to relax and get creative in the city! We know it can be difficult to keep the weekends fresh and find fun activities in NYC for adults, but a textile class will allow you to spend time with fellow creatives, get crafty, and stay away from big crowds. 

Don’t worry if you’re new to the subject, the goal of the class is to destress, enjoy yourself, and spend some time creatively. These beginner craft classes will allow you to take a break from screens and the hustle and bustle of city life. 

In search of a unique gift for mom? Gift an experience, join in on the fun, and make a memory while you learn the art of textiles together. Sometimes party planning can get hectic and distract from the celebration. If you’re looking for a unique birthday party idea where you can take the backseat, sign up for a private class and we’ll provide the entertainment while you get to sit back and enjoy the party with your friends and family.

What to expect from a New York City textiles class

We offer a wide variety of textile classes, so keep your brain stimulated by trying something new. Get practical and learn how to sew so you can mend your clothing the next time you rip your favorite pair of jeans. You can even show off your unique style and learn printing on shirts in a screen printing workshop. Learn some new macrame knots and elevate your wall art. 

Your instructor will expertly guide you through whichever DIY project you would like to try. You’ll leave with a beautiful homemade craft to enjoy or gift to a loved one, along with new skills to keep your craft journey going. 

If you are hoping for any even cozier activity, stay home! There are also many online workshops offered. No need to run out to the yarn store or battle traffic to get to the studio, a craft kit will be delivered right to your door and a live streaming link directly into your inbox.

Getting out to an in-person craft workshop is also a great way to meet like-minded New Yorkers or engage with friends and family away from screens. Whatever and wherever you decide to learn a new craft, there’s a textile class to suit everyone out there!

Textiles classes are great for your well-being

Textile classes can also be very cathartic. You can easily zone out as you crochet away or express yourself with a colorful shibori tie-dye. Each textile class will have its unique process to nurture. By the end of the class, you’ll finish with a better appreciation of creating something by hand.

If you end up loving the class, there are so many more experiences to try from local NYC instructors so you’ll never run out of fun things to do in New York. Not only will you be supporting your mental well-being by taking some time to unwind and reconnect with yourself, but you will also be supporting NYC small businesses, artists, and makers.
