Today we’re excited to be connecting with Jennifer again. We’re excited to feature one of their experience offerings in our gift guide – learn more below and we encourage you to use your gift budget to support small businesses & creatives whenever possible.
Jennifer, we loved learning your story, but I think our audience is going to appreciate learning about the experiences side of your story as well. So, maybe you can help bring everyone up to speed?
I’m thrilled to dive into one of our favorite seasonal offerings at Design Hive—our Santa’s Workshop holiday crafting events! This festive series is a highlight of our calendar, bringing together families, friends, and community members for some creative holiday cheer.
Santa’s Workshop at Design Hive is an immersive winter crafting experience designed to make the holiday season even more magical and memorable. Scheduled throughout December, each workshop allows participants to create unique, handmade holiday decorations and gifts. This year, we’ve lined up a fantastic array of projects like ornament wreaths, hanging winter terrariums, holiday headbands, wooden ornaments, candle making, minimalist ring wreaths, and more
How would you describe the core essence of the experiences you offer? What are the feelings or emotions that participants feel during the experience (or after)?
The core essence of the experiences we offer at Design Hive, particularly through events like our Santa’s Workshop, revolves around creativity, community, and celebration. Each workshop is designed not just to teach a new skill or craft, but to foster a sense of connection and joy among participants.
What sets these workshops apart is the emphasis on handmade, personal touches. In a world where so much is mass-produced, taking the time to create something with your own hands provides a unique satisfaction and a personal connection to the holiday season. Additionally, each workshop is designed to cater to different tastes and interests, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
If you had to boil your experience or brand down to one core message – what would that message be?
The core message of our Santa’s Workshop experience would be: Crafting holiday magic and memories together! This reflects the spirit of communal creativity and the joyous atmosphere we aim to create, where participants can make both festive crafts and lasting memories during the holiday season. Each crafting project is thoughtfully designed to be unique and elevated, utilizing high-quality materials that ensure a beautiful and lasting finish. From classic sprigs and twigs in our minimalist wreaths to the sparkling beads and baubles in our holiday jewelry, we select only the best supplies to enhance your creative experience and ensure that your holiday creations stand out with a touch of elegance and originality.
What are you most thankful for?
We are so thankful for the vibrant community of participants who bring such warmth and enthusiasm to every session, not just our winter holiday events. Their creativity and joy breathe life into the workshops, making each event feel like a. special occasion.
We are especially thankful for the new customers who, enchanted by their first workshop experience, have become cherished repeat visitors, returning to create new traditions and memories with us. Christmas Eve is one our favorite days in our workshop. We’re open until mid-afternoon every year and serve snacks and beverages for all ages. It’s a festive day with a buzz in the air. It’s heartwarming to see families who have chosen to spend their Christmas Eve crafting at our workshops year after year, solidifying Santa’s Workshop as a cherished part of their holiday celebrations. These enduring relationships underscore the community and continuity that our workshops aim to foster, enriching our sense of gratitude and fulfillment.
