Christmas craft workshops for adults

The best Christmas activities for adults leave something behind. In a KraftStories Christmas craft workshop you spend an evening making a Turkish mosaic lamp, soy candles, a terrarium or moss wall art, as a gift or for your own home. A host guides every step, materials are included and no experience is needed: two unhurried hours in December, and a handmade gift that means more than anything off a shelf.

Christmas activities for adults that leave something behind

December is planned to the minute: shopping lists, office parties, family dinners. A Christmas workshop is two quiet hours inside all of that. You explore a craft you have never tried, talk while your hands are busy, and take home a piece that comes back out of the box every year.

It works as a December date, a night out with friends, a plan for visiting family, or a holiday gathering for a small team. Sign up for seats in a public class, or ask us to provide a private session for your group.

Prefer something sweet? Decorate sugar cookies with Beehive Cookie Co at Hammer & Stain in Chambersburg, PA, or bake Amaretti or Geode crystal cookies in a live online class with a shipped kit.
