Private Events in Irvine

Plan birthdays, team events, and social gatherings with a calm run-of-show, premium materials, and full host support.

Kids Events

A party you don't have to managePlanning kids' events in Orange County often means juggling schedules, cleanup, and overstimulation. We take that off your plate. Our instructors lead the kids through a clear, calming flow—welcome, build, and show-and-tell—so the energy stays focused, creative, and fun. You get to actually enjoy the party instead of supervising it.

No throwaway craftsInstead of plastic projects that end up forgotten, kids create something real—like a mosaic lamp or a terrarium. These are pieces they're genuinely proud of and excited to keep in their rooms. Parents love it because it feels intentional, not disposable.

Smooth, stress-free logisticsWhether the event is in our Irvine studio, your home, or hosted virtually, we handle the details. For virtual parties, each guest receives their own kit shipped directly to their door, and we track everything carefully so no child is left out or scrambling.

Team Building

No forced fun, no awkward icebreakersNot every team bonds over games or loud activities. Our workshops are built around parallel creation—people connect naturally while working with their hands. It's structured, calm, and surprisingly effective, especially for thoughtful, analytical, or introverted teams common in Irvine's tech, healthcare, and finance spaces.

Proven at every scaleFrom small leadership offsites to large corporate gatherings, we're deeply experienced in running smooth, well-paced events. We manage instructors, materials, timing, and flow so your team can simply show up and participate—confidently and comfortably.

Takeaways people keepThis isn't swag. Teams leave with beautifully made mosaic lamps or terrariums—objects that live on desks and shelves, quietly reminding them of a shared moment that felt meaningful, not gimmicky.

Birthdays & Showers

The anti-bar celebrationIf you're tired of shouting over music or squeezing around crowded tables, this is a different kind of gathering. Our studio offers a calm, social setting where conversation flows naturally, creativity fills the room, and you can enjoy a drink while making something beautiful together.

Thoughtful, warm, and elegantPerfect for bridal showers, milestone birthdays, or intimate celebrations. The space feels intentional and inviting—less "event venue," more carefully hosted experience. It's relaxed, elevated, and memorable in a quiet way.

Private and personalBook the studio just for your group. Choose your music, bring your own refreshments, and enjoy a dedicated host who sets the pace and tone to match your celebration. It feels personal because it is.

Mobile Events

A full experience, anywhereFrom Irvine offices to hotels, homes, and event venues, we transform your space into a working art studio. We bring all materials, tools, and heavy components—you just provide the tables.

Perfect for conferences and offsitesLooking for a creative break between sessions? We design efficient, high-quality workshops that fit into tight schedules without feeling rushed. Guests leave with something real, not just another badge or tote.

Clean, contained, and respectfulWe take venue care seriously. Our team handles setup, protection, and full cleanup. When we leave, your space looks exactly as it should—often cleaner than before.

Why OC Loves Us

1A Real Pause from the Rush
2Connection Without the Awkwardness
3Something You'll Be Proud to Bring Home

Life in Orange County moves fast—and most of it happens on a screen. Our studio is meant to be a pause button. It's bright, calm, and welcoming. For a couple of hours, you put your phone away, stop multitasking, and work with your hands. You're not in work mode or parent mode—you're just focused on placing glass, watching light change, and letting your mind settle into the rhythm of making something.

What Orange County Says

Join hundreds of satisfied families and friends who've discovered their creative sanctuary in Irvine

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.

I had a great experience at KraftStories! It's such a cute place that will immediately make you want to take more classes there! The class is so organized--the materials are also prepped for you, so no time is wasted--you can begin creating right away! We had Ava as an instructor and she is a wonderful instructor! I took her for Turkish candle holders and she is so inspiring, patient, and kind. It was like creating art with a friend! I would highly recommend class here!!

My friends and I had a wonderful time celebrating our friend's birthday at Kraft Stories. We chose to do the Turkish Lamp project. Chiara our instructor was very patient and willing to help. Our lamps turned out amazing! I can't believe I was able to make something so beautiful. Thank you Chiara!
