This class was so much fun and our teacher Fatih was incredible. We got stuck getting to the class and he was so lovely accommodating us. He made sure we still got individual instructions when we arrived and allowed to us to stay a little extra to finish up. When we struggled to do certain things, he was very encouraging and provided helpful tips. The class was also a nice little immersion into Turkish culture as Fatih was very passionate about his country. He shared facts about mosaics, Turkish music, and Turkish food while we worked. Would recommend for a big group or just 2 people looking for a fun activity.

So fun! The glue was a touch stringy, I am not sure if there is a way around that. But pull off the little strings before grouting. I also added a layer of modge podge over the grout on the beads which worked well. Thanks for a great project!

This was a very fun activity to do as a team! I was impressed with the supplies that we received: the terrarium looked nice and it came with all the tools we needed for the activity, including long tweezers for reaching into the terrarium, miniature shovels, and even cute decorations and lights. The instructor patiently walked us through all the steps and even gave us some helpful tips and tricks. The final product turned out nice and I'm excited to watch the plant continue to grow in its own little world. Thank you!

We had the most fantastic time with Fati! This was such a fun and unique experience made richer by a very knowledgeable, patient, and creative teacher who even did a capstone thesis on the history and art of mosaic lamps and created them himself! And you end up with beautiful lamps to take home. My only wish was more color options, but understandably that wasn’t possible at this time. I recommend this to individuals, couples, families with older children, and really anyone :) You get in and are welcomed by the teacher, either Nusrullah or Fati, who are from Turkey and are well-versed in mosaic lamps. They’ll set you up with their kits that they make themselves and after some instruction, you’re free to design based on your own imagination. There’s water provided and bathroom access. It really does take the two hours, so give yourself time and allow yourself to slow down and enjoy the pace. At the end, your instructor will help you set up your lamp to test it and ensure it works and you’re satisfied, you’ll take pictures, and he’ll help you take down and box up your lamp to take it home (I recommend bringing a large, flat bottomed tote). Then at home, you’ll plaster it according to the instructions and let it dry overnight before giving it a wash to bring out the tile work. All needed items, from plaster to tweezers to tiles to the lightbulb, are included.

My husband and i did a medium size terrarium. The teacher was incredible. He was kind, and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to take them home. The teacher even gifted us a small terrarium because it was our 10 year anniversary that day. It is an awesome experience and a must have!

KraftStories is a marketplace for hands-on craft workshops—hosted by real studios and independent instructors across multiple cities and online. But at its core, it’s a place to reconnect with your own creativity through guided making. We design experiences that feel welcoming and human: clear steps, thoughtful materials, and mentors who care about people as much as the craft. You don’t just attend an activity—you leave with something real in your hands, and more confidence in yourself.

Because most adults slowly stop making things. Not on purpose—life gets busy, work becomes abstract, and everything turns into “consume, decide, repeat.” KraftStories exists to bring people back to a place where they can create again. When you make something real with your hands, you don’t just produce an object—you rebuild trust in yourself.

We’re not talking about being an “artist.” We mean the basic human ability to translate what you feel or imagine into the real world. Kids do this naturally. Adults often lose it through school pressure, perfectionism, or years of being rewarded for being “efficient” instead of expressive. It’s not gone. It’s just buried under fear of doing it wrong.

A typical activity tries to entertain you for 60–90 minutes. Our goal is different: create a moment where you feel present, capable, and connected. We design workshops so the experience is not stressful or performative. You’re not trying to impress anyone. You’re practicing agency—making choices, trusting your hands, and seeing a result you can hold.

We want you to leave with a quiet internal shift: “I can do things. I can learn. I can create.” That feeling carries into your week—how you speak, how you decide, how you approach problems. The object you take home is a reminder of that state.

Success isn’t “perfect output.” It’s a person reclaiming self-trust. It’s when someone stops asking for permission, stops apologizing, and starts making choices confidently. If you leave thinking, “I didn’t know I had this in me,” that’s success.

Skill matters, but it’s not enough. We prioritize instructors who can read a room, regulate energy, and make people feel respected. Great teaching isn’t showing off. It’s helping someone succeed without taking their ownership away. We want hosts who care about the human experience as much as the craft result.
