Top Bucharest Craft Classes

Food is an integral part of Romanian culture, and this private cooking class lets you discover the unique ingredients and flavors that make up its traditional cuisine. Join your host for a fun, hands-on cooking class. Help prepare a variety of typical Romanian dishes, such as "bulz" and "papanasi”, then sit down to enjoy your delicious homemade lunch served with Romanian drinks.

This workshop takes place in a real jewelry studio and store, where guests work at the bench with the makers behind Mesteshukar Butiq. The craft is inspired by traditional Roma craftsmanship, combined with contemporary techniques, so the experience feels like being welcomed into someone’s everyday creative work rather than a staged class. With a maximum of four guests, there is time for personal guidance, a calm pace, and a design that reflects you, from the first sketch to the final polish.

After meeting your guide, explore the realities of the Roma community in Romania and visit a genuine workshop in the city center, where Roma craftsmen, also known as Gypsies, create and market their pieces. Choose your desired piece of jewelry to craft under the guidance of an authentic Roma artisan. You'll take your crafted jewelry home with you at the end of the workshop. Although the activity focuses on learning the art of copper crafting, you can opt for the upgraded version featuring silver. By the end of your visit, you'll have gained insight into the history of the Roma population in Romania and developed your own thoughts and views through real experiences and interactions with authentic Roma representatives.
