Private events
We bring the workshop to your space
Make & Gather has no storefront — and that's the point. We pack an entire hands-on craft workshop into a case and set it up wherever you're already gathering. A living room, a hotel suite, an Airbnb, a rented event space. No one needs to travel to us, and nothing about the experience is improvised: every material, tool, and take-home box comes with us.
We work with two kinds of hosts. Choose the path that fits your group.
For individuals & friend groups
Personal & social events
Birthdays, bachelorettes, girls' trips, baby showers, housewarmings — the occasions where you want the group to do something together without anyone having to plan it. Prepaid and simple: all materials included, 90 minutes to 2 hours, set up and cleaned up by us.
Pick your activity: a hands-on craft workshop — bath soak blending, candle making, jewelry making, home fragrance — or a Charcuterie Board Night, where the group builds boards together. Either way it's a bring-your-people kind of night.

Bring your people
A social night built for friends and groups — bath soak blending, candle making, jewelry, home fragrance, or a Charcuterie Board Night where everyone builds a board together.
We come to you
Your apartment, a hotel suite, an Airbnb, or a venue you've rented for the day — no one travels to us.
Everything included
Tools, materials, scents, and take-home packaging. You supply the people and the space; we bring the rest.
90 minutes to 2 hours
A focused, hands-on session with room to settle in, chat, and leave with something finished.
What are you celebrating?
For corporate, nonprofit & public partners
Organizations & partners
Make & Gather partners with organizations across NYC to run hands-on craft workshops for teams, guests, members, and residents. We're a community programming partner and off-site activity vendor that handles every material and every setup — you bring the people and the room.
Corporate team building & offsites
Hands-on workshops that get people off their laptops and making something together. A natural off-site activity idea in NYC for teams that have done escape rooms to death.
Employee wellness events
An employee wellness event that's tactile and low-key — bath soak blending, candle making, home fragrance. A reset that doesn't feel like a seminar.
Holiday parties & celebrations
End-of-year parties, milestones, and team wins, reimagined as a craft table instead of a spreadsheet of dietary restrictions.
Restaurants & hospitality
Staff team-building and ticketed guest events. We'll theme a workshop to your menu, your room, and your service schedule.
Non-profit community programming
A community programming partner for nonprofits and neighborhood organizations running workshops for members, youth, or residents.
Government & public agencies
Programming for public events, agency team days, and city-sponsored gatherings across the five boroughs.
Residential building events
Resident programming for luxury rentals and condos — a monthly perk that fills the amenity room and gives people a reason to stay.
Hotel guest experiences
Turn-key guest activations for hotels — a craft hour in the lobby, the rooftop, or a guest suite, staffed and supplied by us.
BIDs & neighborhood associations
Business Improvement District and neighborhood association events that draw foot traffic and give the block something to talk about.
Event planner partnerships
Referral partnerships with wedding and event planners who need a hands-on activity their clients will actually remember.
