The Craft Studio

I started at the Craft Studio in 2003 as a college freshman looking for a second job. I’ll never forget the moment my friend slid the studio’s business card my way during class. Upon walking into the Studio for the very first time I fell in love with the magic that is palpable in the space and couldn’t get enough. I worked as much as I could and upon graduation proposed new workshops, camps, and an after-school program to Barbara only to be floored when she asked if I wanted to buy the business. With only a little bit of saved money from my modeling days and many student loans I still was able to work off the business in my early 20s becoming full active owner at the age of 24.

Since then the studio has grown to offer The Craft Studio To-Go, corporate partnerships, after-school programs at schools all over NYC, a reoccurring seasonal Hamptons pop up, a second studio in Tribeca in 2018, and what I am most proud of…charitable partnerships that help us give back and bring art to help those most in need all over NYC.

Our vibe is happy, fun, and genuine and our team is the best there is around! We work so hard to make sure any Craft Studio experience brings a smile to faces of all ages. We are so proud of our history and look forward to a long future of crafting memorable experiences for people where they can disconnect and create!
