Calling all elves! Get ready for a magical holiday experience at Art Escape’s Elf Workshop, where your child becomes Santa’s helper for the day. Kids age 5-14 will spend the session hand-crafting gifts for family and friends, spreading joy and surprises this Christmas.
✨ What to expect: It’s a holiday gift-making frenzy—kids are encouraged to make as many projects as they can in the time frame! Some elves pour their heart into one detailed masterpiece, while others dash through creating a whole stack of treasures. From ceramics to canvas and more, every gift will be wrapped, tagged, and ready to stay a surprise until Christmas morning. Each child brings their own Christmas shopping list, children decide who to make each gift for and what to create. Our staff will be on hand to guide the process, but the choice of what children make—and who they make it for—is all theirs.
Note: Projects may include a mix of seasonal favorites, overstock items, or the occasional piece with a tiny imperfection (like a paint spot or small nick). Kids never seem to mind—they see it as part of the fun of turning each piece into a unique gift straight from the heart.
🎁 Gifts Wrapped & Ready: Once the art is fired, we handle all the wrapping and tagging, so everything stays a surprise until the big day! We’ll notify you when gifts are ready for pick-up, typically within 2-3 weeks.
🍪 Snacks & Breaks: Please send your little elves with snacks and drinks (or a few dollars to purchase them) to enjoy while they create. There’s no official lunch break, but children will have time to eat and relax as they craft.
Details:
Ages: 5-14 (Children, dress for mess or feel free to come dressed as elves!)
Cost: $58 per child (includes all materials, wrapping, and name tags)
Drop-Off Event: To keep the magic (and the surprises) alive, kids will do their shopping in the Super-Secret Elf Gift Room! Here, they get to decide what gifts to make and who to make them for, all on their own. Our team of “Head Elves” will be there to guide, but the choices (and the surprises) are all theirs.
Parents are welcome to relax in the front of the studio, run errands, or even work on their own project in the front room while the elves create. After Christmas, we’ll share photos so you can peek at all the fun without spoiling the surprises under the tree.
🦌 Don’t miss out on the chance for your child to create something magical this holiday season at Art Escape’s Elf Workshop!
