We took a rug tufting class here and our teacher, Allegra, was amazing! She was super helpful, gave us practical tips, and was very encouraging even when we felt not confident in our projects. The location is a little tricky to find, it's in an alleyway and you will need to buzz to get in, so try to arrive a little early. Additionally, allot more time than you think you need even for a very simple project - rug tufting is hard to get the hang of and we were so focused on our projects, we couldn't really chat while tufting lol read more

First time at Art & Craft Workshop! Went with a group of 4 for the Mosaic Lamp 2 hour workshop. Great experience besides the minor bumps. Contacting via email with the team was seamless when asking for a discounted price and ensuring our reservation was confirmed. Going in meeting our instructor, Jamie, was great. She was very chill & let our creativity speak. She was very helpful when it came to teaching and explaining. Her lamps were super cute ! The lamp making itself is worth the cost, you come out with a beautiful piece of art that you created. Once you turn the light on the design looks amazing, even if you originally think differently ! As for the minor improvements. We had to call to figure out how to get in. They said they we should have gotten an email about how to enter, but we did not. The other party that came in also didn't get instructions. So we walked the whole square. Entrance will be the gate closest to the main parking lot, on your right. Ask the staff for the code before going in. Also, DO NOT park in that parking lot or you will be towed. The signs were so small, we didn't know but Jamie informed us. Plenty of street parking ! Last, no Turkish coffee or sweets were offered though it said they were on the website. Not a huge deal breaker, but just don't advertise it. Other than that, great experience. Would come back to try a different craft event !!! read more

It is a little challenging to find the actual store as it's inside a building with multiple businesses. I would recommend to give yourself extra time. To locate the store. I came in at 5pm for the moss class and when we arrived the instructor was a little confused since her boss didn't notify here that we were arriving so she wasent prepared for our class. Despite this she was still super accommodating and was able to let us do our class still after waiting about 15min for her to set up. The moss art was a fun idea but I do wish they had more variety of moss and things to place. Not sure if it was because they weren't prepared for our class and didn't have all the materials or if materials are always this limited. With the limited about of material it felt pretty restricting to what you can create. Our working area was also had pretty limited lighting. They also only had power on once side of the table. We did our class with another couple so there as 4 of us total. With only having power one 1 side of the table 2 people had to glue there items on a chair and couldn't work from the table. read more

Kids surprised me and took me here for Mother's Day activity. We bedazzled a lantern and it was so much fun. This place has other activities as well in fact my company was here for women's day to do candles but missed out on that. Our instructor was nice and knowledgeable and helpful with our project. You get 2hours to bedazzle your lamp. They had so many colors to choose from. They give examples you can follow or free style. I kinda filled but end up doing my own thing. Will be back to try another project. read more

My siblings and I came here with our mom for Mother's Day and crafted mosaic lamps for 2 hours which was such a fun experience from beginning to end. Our instructor Jamie was nice and explained the process well. You're able to follow the provided templates or freestyle. Overall, it's a great experience for kids, family, friends, coworkers, etc. All of our lamps turned out nice and definitely looked cool when it was put all together and lit up! Only con I'd say would be the misleading info about having Turkish snacks which wasn't provided and clear instructions on how to find the place. read more

I did the rug tufting workshop. Jamie was very helpful. She gave us time to decide on a design. They provided lots of ideas and stencils. You can also free hand your design. She then showed us how to use the tufting gun. She also let us borrow a speaker to play music while we worked on our rug. It was a really fun experience. It's great for beginners. Make sure you read the instructions they send on how to enter the building, it's a bit confusing. read more

Art and Craft Workshops - Yarn options for rug tufting - Team Building Activities Near Me - San Jose, California

Building does not have craft store signage: Only names of other businesses! They should include detailed directions in booking email on which gate to enter from and which code to put in. I was frantically calling right at the beginning of the candle workshop because I could not figure out how to enter the locked building. Luckily they called me back after I left a voicemail about my situation. It was so stressful. Once in, the craft host was pleasant and helpful but the craft itself was overpriced. Take home boxes were provided but they were too big. Probably meant for their lamp craft and not candles. They should provide some packaging paper to protect glass crafts. Heck, use newspapers, anything!!! to pad the glass candle so they won't slide or roll around. Their entire process was not well thought out and completely disregards customer experience. This workshop was not worth it. read more

My organization came here for a team building event and we all had a great time! We did the Turkish Mosaic Lamp workshop and everyone had so much fun picking out different colored pieces and creating our own designs. Nathalia was our host and was so friendly! She explained the instructions to our group, showed us some examples, and was there every step of the way when we had questions. This place is located in downtown San Jose with ample street parking and a parking garage nearby. Would definitely come back to try some of their other workshops like rug tufting! read more

Scammy. Purchased perfume making class via Eventbrite. Showed up and no one arrived. Participants had to call to find out the event was canceled last minute. Per Eventbrites policy, they must update the class as canceled and issue refunds within 5 days to ticket purchasers. I've emailed, called and have been promised a refund yet no refund has been processed. Either they are lying, scammers or completely incompetent. Either way poor business and worth avoiding at all cost. read more

What a fantastic experience at Art and Craft Workshop! I'll admit I was a little hesitant before we arrived, not knowing what to expect, but my worries disappeared as soon as we got started. The instructors were patient, thorough, and incredibly helpful with their guidance every step of the way. The workshop itself was hands-on and so much fun. We had the freedom to be creative while still feeling supported with expert instruction. By the end, each of us had a unique, beautiful rug masterpiece to take home. If you're looking for something creative and memorable to do in San Jose--whether with friends, family, or even solo--I can't recommend Art and Craft Workshop enough. We all said we wanted to book another session! It was the perfect triple date! read more

This place is a hidden gem!! Nat, our instructor, was super sweet & nice. She helped draw my mat for me & was super encouraging the whole time. Tufting experience was great and they gave us lots of time to practice and pick out our colors. It was nice because it wasn't rushed at all, and we were the only party there for the first two hours. Just be ready to have an intense arts & crafts session for 2 hours!! They also have the best price I've seen around the area. Would definitely come again!! They also have a ton of other crafts like moss art and mosaic making. read more

I went here for mosaic lamp workshop. Instructor was very sweet and helped us with everything. However, they were out of bids and all the bids that were there was sticky or just random mix bid leftovers from earlier projects. You spend good money and want to have good experience and when half of the things are not available then it spoils experience read more

We held my daughter's birthday party and the girls had a blast. The studio has so many beautiful yarns and templates, but each girl decided to do a custom piece - a favorite food, a favorite stuffie, a favorite character, something for their pet. All of them came out amazing! The rugs are super high quality and soft. The girls spent 3 hours there, and had a blast. The owner is a great teacher and host. He offered us Turkish coffee and Turkish Delight while we waited for the girls. I would highly recommend this for birthday parties, ladies night, or even dates. read more

It was a great experience. Kadir was very friendly, helpful, and easy to work with. He didn't rush us even though it took us longer than expected to work on our lamps. He gave us the space to be creative and enjoy ourselves. We also got to snack on some Turkish delights and tea. read more
