Where can you book a Christmas craft workshop in the Bay Area?
You can book a Christmas craft workshop in the Bay Area through the five Events in Minutes classes below, each read in full on October 28, 2026. Four have Christmas, holiday or a snowman and tree in their names, and the fifth is a stained glass ornament class whose listing pitches it for Christmas parties and as a holiday gift. Three run in San Francisco studios, one in Sausalito, and one Oakland-based wreath workshop travels to you. Every guest takes home something they made (the fused glass stakes are picked up the day after class), so the class doubles as a December party and a gift run.
Across the five (n = 5, checked October 28, 2026), the per-guest rate runs from $50.00 to $110.00, with a median of $90.00. The stained glass ornament class is the one that also adds a flat $200.00 fee; the other four charge per guest only. Group sizes are the bigger difference: one workshop stops at 8 guests, another starts at 10, and the wreath artist who travels takes up to 100.

An ornament making class, glass snowmen and a jewelry Christmas tree
The booking pages list these three at their studios. The stained glass ornament and the jewelry tree go home the same day; the fused glass stakes need firing and a second trip. Only the first card makes an ornament.
Stained Glass Ornament Workshop
The one ornament making class here. At a women-owned craft studio near South Beach, an instructor demonstrates each stage, then guests score, break and fit colored glass and solder the seams into an ornament they take home the same day. It is paced for complete beginners; closed-toe shoes are required. The listing explains the $200 as a surcharge for a private class and pitches the finished piece as a holiday gift.
Book nowSeasonal Fused Glass Plant Stake Workshop: Snowman and Tree
The lowest per-guest rate on this list. In a woman-owned, artist-run studio in Lower Nob Hill, a glass artist shows the group how to arrange colored glass into two plant stakes each: a snowman and a holiday tree. The studio fires them, so plan a return trip: stakes are ready for pickup the day after class. Private groups of 10 to 40; guests 12 and up, and kids need an accompanying adult, who may observe for free.
Book nowJunk Jewelry Christmas Tree Workshop
Guests dig through trays of vintage beads, damaged jewelry and forgotten trinkets and arrange them into a framed Christmas tree to hang at home. You can bring a broken necklace or a single earring to work in. Frames, materials, drinks and snacks are included across three hours. The class runs for 1 to 8 guests at a Sausalito studio walkable from the ferry, and the listing says the same class is offered at the studio's second location in Berkeley.

Both wreath classes end with a wreath to hang, but they differ on where they happen and what goes in. The Oakland-based artist brings greenery, florals and embellishments to your office or venue; the Excelsior studio works with dried florals that keep their look year-round. For more wreath classes, including other studios, see our guide to wreath making workshops in the Bay Area.
Holiday Wreath Decorating Workshop
The one workshop here listed as Travels to You. A Chilean interdisciplinary artist and former design educator brings wreath bases, greenery, florals, embellishments and tools to your office or a venue within 20 miles of Oakland, as the listing states. After a short walkthrough, each guest attaches greenery, layers in florals and takes a finished wreath home. Private groups of 4 to 100, the widest range here.
Book nowDried Floral Holiday Wreath Class
A 90-minute wreath class at a floral studio in San Francisco's Excelsior District, founded by a first-generation Salvadoran-Brazilian artist. Guests build a wreath from dried florals, greens and ribbon, so it keeps its look well past December, with snacks and drinks served during the class. Beginners can follow a simple layout while confident makers experiment. Private groups of 5 to 20.

How much does a holiday craft workshop cost in the Bay Area?
A holiday craft workshop in the Bay Area costs $640.00 to $1,080.00 for a group of 8, depending on the class, at October 28, 2026 prices and before tax, fees and gratuity. Group limits decide which classes fit, so the examples below list only the workshops that accept each headcount.
A family or friends group of 8
- Dried floral wreath, Excelsior: 8 x $80.00 = $640.00.
- Holiday wreath, at your office or venue: 8 x $90.00 = $720.00.

- Stained glass ornament: $200.00 + 8 x $110.00 = $1,080.00.
The fused glass workshop needs at least 10 guests, so it does not fit a group of 8.

- Dried floral wreath: 12 x $80.00 = $960.00.

The jewelry tree class stops at 8 guests.
A department of 25
Three workshops take 25 guests: fused glass at 25 x $50.00 = $1,250.00, the traveling wreath workshop at 25 x $90.00 = $2,250.00, and the stained glass ornament class at $200.00 + 25 x $110.00 = $2,950.00. To set a per-head budget, see our holiday party budget per employee guide.
How to plan a Christmas craft workshop for your group
When to book for a December date
All five listings are request to book: you send a date, time and headcount, and the vendor confirms before the booking is final. None of them states a lead time, so the practical rule is general advice: December Saturdays (Dec 5, 12 and 19 in 2026) and the week before Christmas Day on Friday Dec 25 tend to go first, so request those dates in November. All five also show a strict cancellation policy listed as up to 30 days before the event; for a Saturday Dec 12 workshop, that line falls on Thursday Nov 12, so settle your headcount early.
Studio, office or your own venue
The Holiday Wreath Decorating Workshop is the one listed as Travels to You: the artist brings everything to an office or venue within 20 miles of Oakland, and the only thing guests need to bring, per the listing, is an open mind. The stained glass ornament listing's text says its instructor can also travel within 60 miles of the studio for a private class, though its booking page lists the San Francisco studio; ask before you plan around it. The fused glass, jewelry tree and dried wreath classes happen at their studios. For office ideas beyond crafts, see office holiday party ideas and our guide to holiday team building activities in San Francisco, or browse experiences in Oakland for East Bay teams.
Is a stained glass ornament class good for beginners?
Yes, according to its listing: the San Francisco stained glass ornament class is paced for complete beginners, and the instructor demonstrates scoring, breaking, fitting and soldering before guests try each step. The listing requires closed-toe shoes and suggests clothes you do not mind getting dirty. For another glass project as a team activity, see glass mosaic team building in San Francisco.
Kids and refreshments
The fused glass workshop is the one listing with an age rule (12 and up, with an accompanying adult); the other four do not state one, so ask before you bring children. The jewelry tree and dried wreath classes serve drinks and snacks; the other three listings do not mention food. For a sweeter December activity, compare Christmas cookie decorating classes, and for gift-focused classes see DIY holiday gift workshops.
