Creativity meets celebration!
Are you tired of the same old birthday parties, bridal showers, or team building events? A private arts or crafts party is the perfect solution for a unique and memorable experience. With a wide variety of DIY projects and activities to choose from, you can personalize the party to match your style and preferences. Imagine spending quality time with your girlfriends, creating beautiful crafts, and enjoying delicious snacks and drinks in a fun and intimate setting. Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday or bonding with your team, a private craft party is the perfect way to create lasting memories. So, grab your squad and let's get crafting!
Our Location
Dream Maker Creative has a dedicated classroom and kitchen space on a remote 5-acre property on the Key Peninsula/Gig Harbor area. We can accommodate 12 crafters inside and possibly more outside depending on size and complexity of the chosen craft. Resin projects are capped at 10 people. During warmer months, we have use of an outside patio, grass areas and a small picnic area. You may bring your own food/beverages or use caterers of your choice.
Other Locations
We can come to your business, rented community room or event space, parks or a brewery/restaurant. We can help locate suitable venues depending on ages, type of crafts, and your food/beverage needs. At this time, we do not host parties in private homes due to liability issues and our owner/lead instructor's severe pet and fragrance allergies. We can travel within Kitsap, Pierce and Mason County, and the greater Puget Sound region for larger events. Not all locations can support all craft types due to the venues amenities and/or restrictions.
Ages
Dream Maker only offers craft parties for ages 8+. Through experience, we've found that younger children don't have the attention span for guided instruction and we don't maintain a staff of assistants to wrangle groups of young children. We can point you to some other businesses that offer great party options for the 7 and below.
Rules for Minors
We require 1 adult chaperone for every 6 youth under the age of 12, and 1 adult chaperone for any group size for teens age 13+. The only exceptions to this are for us to have a completed liability and emergency form for every minor in attendance. Contact us to discuss.
Pricing and Minimums
Most projects run $35 - $65 per person. Some kids projects can be done for $25+. If you're following our public class offerings, the private class version typically costs about $5 less. You will be charged the minimum rate to reserve your party, with the final balance due on the day of event.
Parties held at Dream Maker require a minimum spend of $350. This will include guided studio time for the chosen project plus all materials. Most projects take about two hours, and some need three. Actual costs are charged per person and vary with the project. So, a $35 per person class would require 10 people to meet the minimum. A $55 per person class would require 7 people to meet the minimum. Actual cost equals number of people times the per person cost. So if you brought 12 people to the $55 class, the total cost would be $660.
If you would like extra time outside of arts/crafts time for food, cake, games, etc., you may book additional time at the rate of $50 per hour. We have a covered patio area, grass, and a small picnic area for use during summer weather.
Parties held at Other Locations require a minimum spend of $400 following the same formula per above (actual cost equals number of people times the per person cost). If your chosen venue charges a rental fee, this is not included and must be paid by you. When determining how much time to book, please remember that we need setup/cleanup and cleanup time.
Food and Other Activities
We do not provide food or drink, games, decorations, face painting, etc. Though we may be able to offer suggestions for other vendors, so let us know what you're looking for. We can provide concierge service in finding and booking outside vendors on your behalf at an hourly rate and only as an add-on to a craft party package.
Alcohol
With some venues, you can apply for a banquet permit for $10 that would allow you to serve alcohol. At some venues, alcohol is prohibited from all events (some state and county parks). Most restaurants and breweries will expect drinks to be purchased from them. Their liquor licenses typically don't allow for outside food/drinks. Dream Maker always tries to stay on the right side of the law and the rules for any venues we utilize.
