If your sister loves watching Top Chef have her try a cooking class or if your partner loves crafty DIY projects, treat him to a silver jewelry making class. You'll find something for everyone, even folks who are hard to shop for like Mom and Dad.

Learn how to make your favorite recipes at our Seattle cooking classes.

Craft an original textile

Make something cool and creative at our Seattle craft workshops.

Seattle is known for its artistic spirit and there are plenty of workshops you can take to pick up new skills. An expert can teach you how to indigo dye fabric so you can create a unique textile using an age-old Japanese plant based dye to create beautiful blue hues. Or learn simple print-making techniques to create an original tote bag. All of our classes are perfect for beginners and everything you need to make your project, from materials to use of tools, comes with the cost of the class. 

Explore new cooking techniques

Whip up something delicious at our Seattle cooking classes.

Maybe you have an enthusiastic foodie in your life. If they are the kind to dive into new recipes, a Seattle cooking class makes a great gift. They can learn how to make pasta from scratch or make sushi rolls like an expert chef. Our food experiences are perfect for groups if you want to reward your team or you’re planning a party and want something more original than going to a restaurant. Everyone will love the cooking lesson and then enjoy a sit-down meal together.

Make your own cocktails with a twist

Seattle cocktail classes make fun experience gifts for all occasions.
For those who enjoy mixology or simply appreciate a good cocktail, cocktail classes in Seattle are an excellent choice for an experience gift. You’ll learn tried and true recipes and new flavors with an expert leading the way. Find out more about which spirits to use for different cocktails and get the scoop on choosing barware for the right presentation.  This is a fun and lively way to mix up the way you give presents. You’ll want to join the fun too!  

Suggested experiences in Seattle

Lighten up with handmade candles

Make natural wax candles at our Seattle workshops.

If you're looking for a more relaxing and therapeutic experience gift, candle making classes are an excellent option. Friends and loved ones can learn about different types of natural wax, scents, and colors while creating their very own custom-made candles. The calming nature of candle making can help reduce stress and promote mindfulness. Plus surrounding yourself with your favorite scents makes candle workshops the perfect gift for someone in need of a little self-care.

Design your own jewelry

Our Seattle jewelry classes make great experience gifts for birthdays, holidays, and more.

For those with a flair for fashion, jewelry making classes are an exciting and creative experience gift. Our Seattle workshops are just right for beginners who want to learn different techniques like wire wrapping, beading, and even silversmithing. Not only will your loved one get to express their personal style, but they'll also have a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry to cherish.

Experience gifts make any occasion more memorable, whether it’s Christmas, a birthday, or an anniversary. You don’t even need a reason to give a hands-on workshop if it will make someone's day a little bit brighter.
