We help people make things together

The best team day is the one where everyone makes something. We connect companies, groups and curious people with the independent studios and instructors who teach a craft, honestly and without the noise.

Our story

Booking a hands-on class for a team, or even for yourself, is harder than it should be. Studios are small and busy, their classes are spread across their own websites, and it's rarely clear what a group booking would cost.

Workshopola brings those classes into one place. We prepare listings from each studio's own website, the host approves them before anything is shown, and for companies we find the right class, venue and date for any headcount, in any city.

Hosts are independent studios and instructors; they run every session. Workshopola is operated by Kennedy's B.V. in Amsterdam.

How it works

1. Step 1:Booking for a team? Send your headcount, city and dates. For yourself? Browse classes by craft or city.
2. Step 2:Get options and a per-person price, or request a class and let the host confirm before you pay.
3. Step 3:Turn up and make. The host provides the venue, the tools and the materials, and guides you through it.

What we believe

• Make something real. Every class is hands-on and in person: you leave with something you made and a skill you didn't have that morning.
• Easy for hosts. We prepare listings from a studio's own website, so the only thing a host is asked to do is approve them.
• Honest to buyers. Real studios, real dates and the price shown up front. No invented reviews and no inflated rankings.
