That depends on the experience that you're looking for. Workshops are open to the public so you'll likely be joined with other people outside of your group. If you're looking to keep it just between your group, a private workshop is the way to go! Simply send us a message on the Contact Us form to get started.

Yes, we have a minimum of 10 attendees per private workshop. This includes exclusive use of the workshop space and dedicated host and staff assistant to ensure your event goes seamlessly. Prices vary depending on the event. Contact Us to check availability and get a quote.

Fun, creative workshop; no talent required

The facilitator was helpful, knowledgeable and supportive. She made the time fly by as we created coasters of all kinds. Great to have her ideas as we enjoyed ourselves while making a variety of colors, patterns and designs of all kinds. Really enjoyed the workshop and would recommend it to anyone considering it.

Garden Streets hosted my team of 17 people for a Suminagashi workshop at their Cambridge location and we had a wonderful time! Jen and her team were friendly and attentive hosts, we had a private space with a great set-up, and we had a lot of fun and left with a generous quantity of beautifully marbled coasters!
