Tree of Life Wall Hanging at The Bloomin’ Cottage
- Town: Phillipsburg

- When: Saturday, November 14, 2026, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
- Cost: $41.79 per person
Jen leads this beginner friendly class where you create a tree of life wall hanging using yarn, macrame cord and a simple hoop. It is suitable for all skill levels, so it is a relaxed way to try fiber art for the first time, and the finished piece makes a thoughtful handmade gift. The Bloomin’ Cottage changes its art and craft classes every month, so check back for December projects too.
Flaky Crust for the Holidays: Slab Pies and Galettes at Marksboro Mills

- When: Saturday, November 14, 2026, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
- Cost: $78 per person
Judy Mancini, the resident pastry chef behind Marksboro Mills’ Saturday pop-up bakery, stays on after the pop-up to teach the crust she makes every week with River Valley Community Grains’ freshly stone-milled flour. You will learn how that flour behaves in dough, the fraisage method for a very flaky texture, how to make a decorative top crust, and when to parbake and when not to. Everyone goes home with their own galette. All ingredients are included, but bring your own rolling pin.
Thanksgiving Centerpiece Workshop at Living Spirits
- Town: Hackettstown
- Where: Living Spirits Craft Distillery and Cocktail Bar, 300 Valentine Street, Hackettstown
- When: Wednesday, November 18, 2026, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
- Cost: $65 per person, plus a 2.7% card fee
Living Spirits teams up with Shady Oaks Flower Farm of Hackettstown for a cozy midweek evening of floral design. You will build a lush, autumn inspired centerpiece with seasonal blooms, greenery and warm fall accents in a petite ceramic vessel you can keep and reuse. Step by step instruction and all materials are included, no design experience is needed, and the cocktail bar is right there. Seating is limited, so book early.
Herbal Dream Pillows at Well-Sweep Herb Farm
- Town: Port Murray
- Where: Well-Sweep Herb Farm, 205 Mount Bethel Road, Port Murray
- When: Saturday, November 21, 2026, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
- Cost: $48 per person
At Well-Sweep you will learn the properties of several herbs that can help you rest, then mix two custom blends and sew them into 4 by 6 inch dream pillows: one to keep and one to give as a gift. Reservations are required, so call the farm at 908-852-5390 or book online. Plan extra time to wander the gift shop and greenhouses while you are there, since the farm decorates for the season in November.
Tips Before You Book
Most of these classes have limited seats and sell out close to the holidays, so reserve early and read each organizer’s cancellation policy. Bring a tote or box to carry your project home, and pair a class with lunch or a stroll in the same town to make a day of it.
