Turn sushi night into a skill-building culinary experience in the heart of NYC. In this interactive class, Chef Davis breaks down the essentials of sushi-making step by step. Begin by mastering seasoned sushi rice, the foundation of every great roll. Then practice precise knife work as you prepare fresh produce for balanced texture and presentation. You’ll assemble a California roll with avocado, surimi and cucumber before crafting a bright veggie roll with mango, avocado and cucumber. Chef Davis demonstrates proper rolling pressure, shaping and slicing so each piece holds together beautifully. By the end of class, you’ll sit down to enjoy your handmade sushi feast — confident, capable and ready to recreate these classic rolls at home.

This is a memorable experience where you and your partner are immersed in a creative environment and connect with your own body and with the other person through a playful creative activity. You both will glow both from the paint (glow in the dark paint) and from the laughter and the liberating feeling of enjoying each other in a fun creative way. You'll walk away with a new appreciation for your own body, your partners, and a stronger connection. Our studio is the only place in the world that offers this experience. This experience is for people who are adventurous and open minded.

CONNECTION BETWEEN SOUND MEDITATION AND FREEDOM: Sound meditation facilitates a state of inner freedom by helping us release emotional and physical tensions that can restrict our sense of well-being. By immersing ourselves in the vibrations of sound, it becomes possible to transcend the everyday constraints of the mind and connect to our core values. This meditative practice, paired with an exploration of historical struggles for freedom, creates a powerful experience that aligns external history with personal introspection, deepening our understanding of what freedom truly means.

Woodworking is a hobby that has historically required a connection to someone who really knows their way around a workshop. Are you unable to casually dabble in woodworking because you need tools and space, but you don’t want to commit to a woodworking apprenticeship? We are here to be your woodworking plug. This workshop will get you started with the skills needed to design and build the furniture of your dreams. You’ll begin this workshop with a few pieces of oak. You’ll then cut and shape the oak into the individual parts of your table, using a mitre saw, a router table, a table saw, and a belt sander. Never used any of those? Don’t worry! Each workshop has a “guide” who is there to guide you (obvi)! After tool time, you will make sure everything fits together precisely before assembling your masterpiece.

What makes this activity special is its focus on personalization and mindful creativity. Wire ring making is not only a fun craft but also a relaxing and rewarding experience that encourages self-expression and stress relief. With small group sizes, personal guidance, and the freedom to modify basic designs into something entirely your own, this workshop delivers a memorable and authentic jewelry-making experience in Brooklyn.
