Family Workshop: Last Minute Gifting

Join us for an afternoon of last minute gifting! Whether you have a few names left on your list or want to make something truly personal, this is a fun, guided way to create meaningful gifts together.


The space will be fully open, including the woodshop and digital lab. Families can choose to:

  • Laser-engrave custom gifts (you’re welcome to bring your own items—just let us know ahead of time so we can confirm they’ll fit in the laser)

  • Create iron-on designs for shirts, totes, or stockings using our Cricut (option to bring the fabric items you’d like to customize or take home to iron-on)

  • Build a small gift box in the woodshop

  • Mix and match based on interest and time

Parents and kids can work together on one project or split up into different areas of the shop (ideal for top-secret gift making). The guides will be on hand throughout the afternoon to help keep projects moving smoothly so you can focus on the fun part.



Workshop Details:
📅 Saturday, December 20, 2025
⏰ 1:30PM - 4:30PM
🎟 $150 for a team of 2 (1 adult, 1 child)
+add 2 additional team members for $25 each


This is an open invitation for kids aged 9-100! Interested? Register here! We hope to see you there. Have a wonderful holiday season!
