Valentine’s Date Night classes designed for those who want to do something a little more memorable than dinner reservations.

The shop is buzzing with hands-on Valentine’s Day classes where couples learn new skills, work side by side, and leave with something they made together. Choose from creative experiences like Stamped With Love leather keychains, forged heart blacksmithing, turning wine bottles into drinking glasses, stained glass date night projects, weld-together metal builds, woodshop keepsake box joinery, and stacked ring jewelry making. These intimate, small-group classes are designed for connection, creativity, and trying something new together—and space is limited, with classes filling quickly as Valentine’s Day approaches.
