Fun date night ideas in Rochester Hills

Friday is painting night. The Wood & Canvas Painting Class starts at 6pm and runs two hours, with the studio catalogue open across wood and canvas: pick a piece each and finish it inside the session.

On a weeknight, the Candle Making Class is 90 minutes on Thursday evenings. You each blend a fragrance from the scent library, then pour your own candles, and there is still time for dinner after.

On a Saturday afternoon, the Terrarium Making Class is two hours of building a sealed, self-watering garden in glass that can run for years untouched.

The Turkish Mosaic Lamp class is the date people talk about afterwards: two and a half hours of setting coloured glass and beads into a lamp globe by hand, then switching it on before you leave. It runs on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings.

The Moss Wall Art class on Sunday afternoons is quieter: a framed piece of preserved moss, ferns and dried botanicals that needs no water and keeps its colour for years.

The studio is at 882 S Rochester Rd, with parking on site, about ten minutes from the restaurants on Main Street in downtown Rochester.
