What You'llMake

Every workshop is built around one of our signature crafts — each chosen because they're satisfying to make, beautiful to keep, and impossible to forget.

Rug Tufting

A punching needle, a frame, and a pile of yarn — the result is a hand-tufted rug or wall hanging that's entirely yours. One of our most popular workshops.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp

Hand-cut glass, a copper frame, and two hours of focused work. You'll leave with a glowing mosaic lamp you built from scratch.

Learn more

Terrarium

Layer soil, stone, and living plants inside glass. A meditative build that results in a self-sustaining micro-garden for your space.

Learn more

Moss Wall Art

Preserved moss, natural textures, and a wooden frame. No watering, no sunlight, no maintenance — just a piece of living art on your wall.

What people sayabout KraftStories

Real words from guests across our studios in Hawaii, New York, San Francisco, Irvine, and online.

My bf and I had such an amazing time making our own terrarium. Everything was clearly and fully explained and as beginners we had no problem following everything. So excited to take our project home and see it grow

I came here on recommendation from one of my girlfriends. We tried the sea glass art class and Kiara was so amazing !! I had so much fun having the creative freedom to make whatever I wanted. Kiara provided samples of art to take inspiration from and provided all the necessary materials. She was such a joy to spend the afternoon with! I can't stop raving about how much fun I had and will definitely have to come back to try some of her other classes.

What a wonderful afternoon spent with some girlfriends making beautiful memories and Turkish lamps! Chiara and Nur are both such lovely people and passionate about their craft! And the Turkish coffee was a wonderful bonus! I can't wait to go back for the terrarium and moss wall frame.

Time flies when you’re having fun, and our two hours at Kraft Stories definitely flew by too quickly. Serendipitously, it was like a private booking because my group of friends had the undivided attention of the lovely owners, Chiara and Nur. Chatting with them was like chatting with old friends!

None at all. Every workshop is designed for complete beginners. Our instructors guide you step by step, and we provide every tool and material. If you can follow instructions, you can make something beautiful.

We work with groups of all sizes — from a party of 2 on a date night to corporate offsites of 500+. For small groups, we have intimate studio sessions. For large teams, we bring parallel workstations and additional facilitators to your venue.

Public workshops are open-registration sessions where you join a small group at one of our studios — great for solo guests, couples, and small friend groups. Private events give you exclusive use of the studio (or we come to you), your own schedule, and a fully customizable experience.

Public workshops typically run 1.5 to 2 hours. Private events and team building sessions can be customized — most groups book 2 to 3 hours. Virtual workshops run approximately 90 minutes including kit unboxing time.

We ship a craft kit directly to every participant before the session. On the day, a live instructor hosts the workshop over video call — guiding your group through the entire build in real time. Kits ship anywhere in the US with free standard shipping.

Use the 'Plan a Private Event' button above to submit an inquiry. We'll follow up within one business day to confirm your date, group size, craft choice, and any custom requests. Most private events are confirmed within 48 hours of inquiry.
