So much fun!
Oh my god this was so much fun. The craft and conversation were absolutely priceless. Iris is an amazing host and teacher with a masters degree in hospitality. Craft area was set up before arrival. Directions were explained clearly. Refreshments were plentiful and readily available. Even once we started Iris was very attentive, talkative, and kind.

So excited to be able to share the mirror tiles at my next Mosaic lamp class. I’m sure my party goers will be excited to add them to their designs. Good quality and plenty of tiles!!! Thank you!
Shawn R.
It’s a great experience but if they can fix the problem with getting into the gate would be a lot easier for me to find the door. Anyway, the teacher is professional and helps me a lot with the rug tufting. I do have a lot of fun, and the result is perfect.

We came here for my friend’s birthday and had such a lovely time. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, the staff were all so friendly, and the whole experience was so much fun. We loved making our mosaic lamps, and they turned out even better than we expected. Such a unique way to celebrate—highly recommend!
MENGXIN W.
It's the perfect size and a great addition to my oddities shelf!
Breann T.
What a fun experience! We were intimidated at first but it was so easy and our instructor was so supportive and 10 minutes into the craft we were totally engaged. South Street Seaport location is set up perfectly for the many craft options they offer. We will definitely go back to make another item. A must do!

I had a great time, learning to carve the lino. I have continued to create different stamps and print on shirts, bags and create prints. I noticed that the picture you've been using in the ad for this class of me (I recognize my watch and the bag I printed).

Fun experience for Christmas Christmas🎄
Kana I.
Wonderful family experience! We had so much fun creating our lamps together, and now they're on our patio where we get to enjoy them every day. Every time we see them, we're reminded of the wonderful quality time we spent together making them. Chiara and Nur were amazing—they guided us step by step throughout the entire process, making it easy and enjoyable. We truly loved the whole experience and highly recommend it…
Veronica B.
Greatest experience i could ask for! Kylie was our host and was the sweetest most patient, and informative person! She was so helpful and encouraging we had lots of fun! Thank you for making this a memorable girls bonding night!
Alicia L.
I had been interested in rug tufting and thought that this class would be a good opportunity to try it out. The instructor was nice and easy to follow. Both me and my partner were happy with our finished rugs. I would recommend this class to anyone that is interested or is crafty and wanted something fun to do with a friend!
Megan R.
Fun tufting experience, would love to do it again now that I had some practice and learned from my mistakes.
