As Seen In
KraftStories NYC arts and craft workshops have been spotlighted as a top date-night and BYOB craft destination in Manhattan.
Nurullah Gokdogan, who co-owns the Manhattan-based crafting workshop Kraft Stories, told The Post that "90%" of his BYOB clientele come in pairs — and that it's hard to beat a deal like wine and an activity for under $50. "If you want to take someone on a date, it's usually a dinner date or a coffee date," he said. "Here, you're combining it in this unique experience, it's a more enhanced version – with a bottle of wine and an activity you can work on together. That's why it's super attractive to couples."
BuzzFeed Producer Mary An Nan joined us for a terrarium-making experience and brought such a fun, creative energy to the workshop. It was a joy to share the process of building a miniature living world together, from layering the materials to placing each plant with intention. We loved having her with us and were so excited to see her create something beautiful by hand.
From kids birthdays to team events and mobile setups, choose the tab that matches your group and see exactly how the experience runs.
Fatih is the curator of KraftStories NY and leads quality across both Manhattan studios. He is known for turning mixed groups into a cohesive room quickly, with clear guidance and calm pacing. Across hundreds of hosted sessions, his standard is simple: if the finished piece is not display-worthy in a New York home, it does not make the program.
We handle the entertainment and the mess. Our instructors guide the kids through a structured flow (Welcome → Build → Show-and-Tell), so you can actually relax. Available in-studio or we come to your venue.

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
Had an amazing time. We made beautiful lamps, and Fatih helped us with everything while creating such a fun atmosphere.
The tufting class was so much fun! Iris was a fantastic teacher!! Definitely would recommend to anyone interested in trying out rug tufting!
