You may be familiar with paint nights at other studios, but The Craft Factory is so much more! Welcoming, inclusive, creative, fun, and friendly—our DIY craft studio is your craft room away from home! We specialize in helping you craft decorative wood signs, but that’s just the beginning…

Getting your next craft project started with us is as simple as walking through our doors on Manheim Pike in Lancaster, PA. But in case you’re wondering exactly “how it works” at The Craft Factory, we have everything you need to know right here.

Book a Craft Party

The Craft Factory offers a number of party format options for both adults and kids with affordable pricing for hours of crafting fun. Create custom signs, string art projects, or—yes—even paint night projects with guidance from a talented instructor!

Craft parties work best with groups of 8 or more people, but we have some choices for dynamic duos and smaller groups, too! Explore the Booking page to learn more and schedule now. Not sure what will work best for your group? You can also schedule a Zoom call with Karen to plan your party.

Join a Crafting Event

With many special events taking place each month, there’s always something in the making at The Craft Factory—and you can reserve your spot at the crafting table right now! Attending one of our events is a great way to get to know us and make new friends.

For those creative folks who don’t necessarily want to book a private party, our events are an affordable option for you and a friend or two to check us out and make a project you’ll feel proud to display or give as a gift. Have bored kids? We also run many events for younger crafters, as well.

Discover Our Craft Inspiration Wall

Signs and other available craft projects for walk-in crafting and parties change monthly. You’ll find the latest options on our inspiration wall! We have over 200 signs to choose from at any given time, and they don’t all fit on the wall. So, let us know what you want to create, and we’ll work with you to make it!

Craft pricing ranges from $17-$55, with most adult crafts priced at $26.50. Each craft typically takes about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes to complete, but we welcome crafters to stay as long as they like during our open hours!
