Frequently Asked Questions
What workshops are available for private events?
We offer private group workshops across a wide range of hands-on crafts including knife making, blacksmithing, leatherworking, stained glass, woodworking, welding and metal fabrication, textiles, electronics, and upcycling. Not sure which is the best fit for your group? Tell us your interests and we’ll help you find the perfect match.
How much does a private workshop cost?
Pricing depends on the workshop type, group size, and when it’s scheduled. Weekends and evenings tend to cost a bit more due to demand. We’ll work with you to recommend the best options.
How many people can you accommodate?
Our public workshops are designed for groups of 8–20, but our private group workshops can accommodate up to 50+ guests and beyond. We can tailor experiences for smaller or larger groups depending on the activity, and we can arrange split workshops where your group divides and experiences two different activities simultaneously. Some workshops pair better than others and we’ll help you explore those options.
How long are the workshops?
Most private workshops last 3–4 hours, though some (like our Chef Knife class) are longer. We’ll let you know the exact timing when discussing options.
What do we need to bring to our private workshop at Craftsman Ave?
Just yourselves! We provide all tools, materials, and safety gear. The one thing to keep in mind: closed-toe shoes are required for all workshops. Guests wearing open-toe shoes or sandals will not be able to participate, so please plan accordingly.
Can you help us decide which workshop is right for our group?
Absolutely. Tell us your group size, budget, and interests, and we’ll recommend the best options.
Do you host corporate events?
Absolutely — corporate team building is one of our specialties. We’ve worked with companies of all sizes, from small startups to large organizations, to create hands-on experiences that go far beyond the typical off-site. Whether you’re looking to strengthen team bonds, celebrate a milestone, or simply give your team something genuinely memorable, we’ll help you design an experience that fits. Catering is welcome, decorations are encouraged, and we can customize the workshop to align with your team’s goals and interests.
