Our Studios in New York City

Craft Studio

Our Midtown studio is a calm, spacious craft studio in the heart of Manhattan, designed for guided workshops, private groups, and team events.

Craft Studio

FiDi: Our new FiDi studio features exposed brick walls and a flexible layout for guided workshops and private events for up to 120 people.

The "Parent-Proof" Party

We handle the entertainment and the mess so you can actually relax. Our instructors guide the kids through a predictable, structured flow (Welcome → Build → Show-and-Tell), ensuring the energy stays focused and fun, not chaotic.

No "Goody Bag" Clutter

Forget disposable plastic crafts that end up in the trash. We teach durable arts—like mosaic lamps or terrariums—resulting in high-quality items that kids are proud to display in their rooms.

Anxiety-Free Logistics

Whether in our studio or your living room, we provide everything. For virtual parties, we ship individual kits directly to each guest's doorstep, tracking every package to ensure no child is left out.

Structured Connection (Not "Forced Fun")

We replace awkward icebreakers with "parallel play." Our structured teaching style allows your team to connect naturally while their hands are busy, breaking down barriers for even the most analytical or introverted minds.

Scale & Logistics Expert

From intimate executive teams to conferences of 1,000+, we have mastered the logistics of large-scale events. We handle the staffing, kit inventory, and flow to ensure a seamless experience for global brands like Google and Amazon.

Premium Desk-Worthy Takeaways

Give your team a gift they will keep. Our workshops result in professional-grade decor—like Turkish Mosaic Lamps or Wardian Case Terrariums—that serve as a lasting reminder of the shared experience.

The "Anti-Bar" Celebration

Tired of shouting over loud music? Our studios provide a "structured social experience" where you can actually hear your friends, enjoy a glass of wine, and create something beautiful together.

Refined & Elegant

A sophisticated alternative to the standard dinner reservation. Perfect for bridal showers or milestone birthdays, we offer a warm, aesthetic environment where hospitality meets creativity.

Custom & Private

Make the studio yours. Book a private room to control the playlist, bring your own refreshments (BYOB), and enjoy a dedicated host who curates the energy specifically for your group.

We Bring the Full Studio

You provide the tables; we provide the rest. We transport heavy brass bases, glass tiles, and tools directly to your office, hotel, or venue, transforming any space into a professional art studio.

Conference Activations

Need an experiential breakout session? We specialize in high-throughput "activations" for summits and seminars, allowing guests to create meaningful art in tight 1-hour windows between sessions.

The "Zero-Mess" Guarantee

We respect your venue. Our team sets up protective coverings and handles 100% of the cleanup, ensuring we leave your space cleaner than we found it.

Meet Fatih, Managing Partner

Fatih isn't just an instructor; he is the curator of KraftStories NY. Known for his ability to turn a room of strangers into a cohesive group, he creates a 'no-judgment' zone where even the most stressed New Yorker can slow down. He doesn't tolerate low-quality materials—if the finished art isn't worthy of a display in a NY apartment, he won't teach it.

Finally, a night out in NYC where I could actually hear my friends talk! Fatih made the whole experience feel effortless. My lamp is now the centerpiece of my apartment.

Best team building event we've done. No forced icebreakers, just genuine connection through creating something together. Our team still talks about it.

I was skeptical about a 'craft class,' but this was different. It's structured, sophisticated, and the quality is legit. Worth every penny.
