  • 10/10 and this class is quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of the week! It has a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to focus and have fun at the same time. Everyone is friendly and supportive which makes the whole experience feel welcoming. Raphael is a great instructor giving personalized feedback and guidance no matter your skill level. I learned how to map out shapes using mark-making techniques and build form through light and shadow. One of the highlights for me was the quick sketching exercises, where I spent 10 minutes each drawing different objects with charcoal. At first it was intimidating, but it really helped me get more confident and comfortable with the process. I’m currently working with colored pastels and excited to see where that leads. If I could only take one art class, this would be the one.
  • The instructor, Patrick, did a great job of explaining the basics. Had unlimited clay to use and would take the class again.
  • Carolina is a great teacher and excellent at her craft, and also inspiring. The only concern is when there are too many students of different levels and the instructor wants to help each one individually making progress quite slow.
  • This course was a lot of fun. Our instructor was amazing! We laughed out loud while learning valuable skills for our first time hand-throwing. They first do a demo, then walk you through step by step, and then let you have time to go for it yourself. I took my best friend for a birthday present, and we couldn't have been happier. It's worth every penny!
  • Very engaging and didactic lesson. Teacher gave great tips and taught me a lot about basic techniques in just an hour. Will definitely be applying her tips in the future.
  • This was a great experience! My spouse and I were complete beginners, and had so much fun learning the basics. The class was full but only fits maybe 12 or so people, so it wasn't intimidating and there was always help when we needed it from one of the two instructors. The main instructor seemed to be newer than the other one, not as confident but definitely very skilled. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time! Make sure to ask for extra ideas/tips once you've gotten the basics - the only group instruction was for the basics, but some people seemed to get some very cool extra techniques from the instructors walking around and helping.
  • Great time and price
  • The instructor was very informative and provided hands-on instruction. Would recommend for beginners.
  • Wonderful class with a great lesson on the history and techniques of Ikebana, the art of Japanese floral design. It was both informative and hands-on—I learned how to create my own arrangement and got to make one myself. We carefully took it apart for travel, and I was able to take home a vase, which was an additional $50 (clearly listed when booking). The class itself was $150, and well worth it! Shout out to TikTok for the inspiration. The teacher is very sweet and her work is stunning.
  • Great class. Had fun and learned a lot. Good idea for couples.
  • The instructors were excellent.
  • Class was great, relaxed environment with good people, model was excellent, highly recommend!
  • Junko is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met! Full of knowledge in the world of ikebana and makes it easy to learn, engage, and have fun. Highly recommend taking this course!
  • I enjoyed the class, the instructor gave us personalized instruction, and I was happy to learn from a professional.
  • These classes are individually focused and the space is well set up. She gives you the information to be able to work on your project at home, both directions and an introductory level tool list and sources.
  • Such a great class. The instructor was passionate, friendly and super helpful. You can learn a lot and walk away with two great gifts or to keep :)
  • I thoroughly enjoyed The Meditative Still Life! My drawing skills improved immensely throughout the course, and I noticed significant progress after each individual session. I was genuinely surprised by how much I had learned even after just the first and second weeks, and by the third week I felt much more confident in my abilities. Before this class, I hadn’t worked much with charcoal and often found it intimidating. However, the course structure—with individualized still lifes and personalized instruction—made it feel much more approachable and tangible. I now feel far more comfortable sketching on my own. The class has completely shifted the way I approach and observe subjects to sketch, which has positively impacted all of my other art practices as well. In particular, my oil painting has improved thanks to a stronger foundation in underdrawing. Raphaél provides thoughtful, individualized attention and constructive feedback that allows each student to grow at their own pace. This is by far the best sketching and drawing class I’ve ever taken, as it's the only time I’ve seen such a dramatic improvement in my work from the beginning of a course to the final piece. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to strengthen their sketching and drawing skills!
  • It was a very informative and educational class in stone carving. My professor was a renowned stone carver with expertise in the craft and in teaching it. The community of fellows in the class was likewise inspiring. I would definitely do it again!
  • Amazing experience
  • The Longboard class was just so well thought out. It was a one and done session which started with a great overview of the class. We talked through designs and goals, and then started sketching out our plans. The support was superb - If you were more advanced, the team offered suggestions and guidance, and if you were completely novice, they were extremely attentive. The level of instruction was wonderful and the class was fun and informative. I can't recommend this highly enough. From start to finish, this was money well spent!
  • This class involves one project, a lovely twisted wire ring, although if you're quicker or more skilled (I'm just kind of intermediate), you may have time for an extra piece. It was challenging, but I learned a lot and was pretty proud of what I accomplished. It will be even more exciting when the new jewelery labs at 92nd Street Y open with new equipment!
  • Fun class with great instructor!
  • Great teacher nice atmosphere
  • The people were welcoming and very knowledgeable. It was fun and I learned so much in just 2 hours.
  • Lovely class! Great guidance and output
  • It was a great class. I learned all about decoupage and made a really nice project. Luci is a great instructor and I would definitely take another class with her.
  • This was a brilliant way to spend a Saturday! Melisse was terrific and the studio is cozy and had every type of material to dive into a day of creativity and calm. I will definitely be back
  • Such a lovely & relaxing experience. Junko was the sweetest & provided a beautiful array of flowers & helped guide us through creating an arrangement. I love what I created & am a huge fan of Ikebana. I will be back for another class. Truly special!
  • Carolina is a wonderful instructor. I really enjoyed taking her class!
  • The instructor was truly so helpful and took time to really cater the experience to exactly what I needed in my level of drawing. It definitely is an intro class and an introduction to the studio so do keep that in mind as a good chunk of the first hour was walking through the studio and talking about what services were offered etc. The instructor did gladly let me stay past the time to help me individually with my drawing which I so appreciated and everyone there was so helpful. I would definitely recommend if someone is considering full time classes at the studio for an introduction class.
  • I took Raphael's classes because I had always wanted to explore painting, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Raphael is an exceptional teacher, offering a perfect blend of art history and practical drawing techniques. He meticulously arranges each space, paying attention to every detail and ensuring the lighting is just right for each student. This setup allows you to draw still life with an incredible focus on shadows and intricate details. You'll master both charcoal drawing and the art of creating stunning pastel paintings. Raphael even provides all the necessary materials, so you don’t need to worry about purchasing anything. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to enhance your skills, Rafael's classes will ignite a lasting passion for art.
  • I really enjoyed the experience. It was what I was looking for in a class and the description matched it. The instructor was very skilled and communicated well. I picked up a few new things and had fun!
  • My family and I took the pottery class in New York City. It was an amazing experience. The instructors were very thorough and helped us a lot. We were very new to pottery and using the wheel, but they came around and helped us when we were lost. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning how to use the pottery wheel and basic techniques.
  • The class was so fun! It's great for all levels; I know nothing about water color painting, but I still had a really nice time learning different techniques and playing around. Everyone was so encouraging. It's a very non-stressful atmosphere. Melisse, the instructor, is so inviting and helpful. I will definitely go back for more classes!
  • We loved the instructor, Luke. He was both kind and hilarious. We had so much fun!
  • Perfect class and highly recommended. Made us feel like established artists. Tons of fun and a great way to take our minds off of the busy world around us.
  • I took the class with three others, so not a large class which made it easier to do the build in a relaxed fashion. Will, the instructor, was great at walking us through the build and providing information about the various tools, and also how additional safety guards had been installed to make it safer for those new at woodworking. We got to watch a bit of Japanese woodworking and share a beer as well!
  • Bernado is amazing. I learned so many new things and had a blast drawing and learning from him. Would definitely recommend and take again.
  • LOVE CAROLINA!! Best class ever.
  • Michelle was great as were the other classmates
  • Carolina is a creative tornado! She is fun, direct, knowledgeable, and surprisingly efficient, given the size of the class -- I'm amazed that we were able to make so many lovely things in such a short time! I'm definitely continuing to study with her.
  • The workshop was great! Cynn the instructor was very helpful!
  • James was an awesome instructor and is clearly very passionate about what he does. A very comfortable environment with helpful feedback!
  • So worth it that we’re going to do it again with friends! My husband and I took a pottery wheel class to celebrate our anniversary, and it was absolutely fantastic! The teacher was lovely and incredibly helpful, guiding us through every step of the process with patience and encouragement. We had so much fun learning the techniques, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. When our pieces were glazed and fired, we were thrilled with the final products— they turned out beautifully. This class was a perfect way to celebrate, and we'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking to try something creative and fun!
  • I love Carolina as a teacher. She is so knowledgeable about her craft and her studio is amazing. She also does a great job of catering her teaching to each student and encourages creativity and making the piece you want to make. The only downside to this class is that sometimes she has many students and there are times where students are just waiting in line for their turn to talk to her.
  • I had a great experience in this course. If it were a little closer to where I lived, I would sign up for more classes with this instructor. The class was hands on, easy to understand and very interactive. I cannot wait for my next class.
  • Chelsea Drawing & Painting Workshops is a great place for all levels of artists and people learning. Raphael great gives mini lessons on techniques and art history (and philosophy) at the beginning of each class. He does a great job of helping individual students and personalizes instruction to help each student improve on their specific drawings. He is supportive and encouraging. Students can learn how to use charcoal and pastels to create drawings of whatever they want. This class is a great place to cultivate creativity and explore drawing and art techniques.
  • If you had shown me the painting I created before starting this class, I never would have believed it was mine and that I could create something so advanced. Raphael is an incredibly encouraging teacher who helped me discover artistic skills I didn’t even know I had. His techniques are especially beginner-friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’ve always loved drawing for fun, but I never had the motivation or supplies to take it further. This class gave me the perfect opportunity to explore a new hobby and dedicate time to my creativity each week.
  • Eleni was a highly skilled and kind teacher who easily walked us through the basics of pottery. Both me and my partner were pretty new to the hobby, so she met us where we are. I would consider the course a great value for the amount I paid, and would recommend it to anyone interested. If it were a recurring class, I would definitely consider taking it again.
  • I loved my time in the workshop. The hands-on experience and expert guidance provided a deep insight into the art of ikebana, making it both educational and enjoyable.

Discover the Best Crafting Classes in NYC

Crafting is the act of making something decorative by hand, using your skill and creativity. Some people craft as a hobby, while for others it is a full-time job. There are many different types of crafting, and they involve working with a range of different materials such as leather, clay, metal, and fabric. Some types of crafting are focused on upcycling or repurposing old items. Crafting can be used to create all kinds of items, from bath bombs, to scarves, to furniture.

Why You Should Learn Crafting in NYC

One of the biggest reasons to learn crafting is for the personal fulfillment you’ll get from making something with your own hands. Many people who craft say that they get a real sense of accomplishment from this activity. In addition, crafting can be therapeutic, forcing you to focus on your materials, and temporarily forget about any worries you might be dealing with.

There are also practical reasons to learn crafting. You can save yourself money by making your own items such as clothing or home decor. In addition, these items will be more meaningful than something bought from a store, because you have put your time and effort into making them. Crafting can also be a lucrative side job, since there is a thriving market for unique hand-made items.
