Bay Area kids' birthday parties

Craft parties so cool, even the grown-ups want in.

Art Shack turns birthday parties into creative experiences kids actually brag about. Hands-on, one-of-a-kind, and completely unlike anything else in the Bay Area.

What we do

Every Art Shack party is built around a signature craft, chosen by the birthday kid.

Activity 01

JACKET STUDIO

Customize your own denim, wear it home.

A blank jacket. A table full of patches, paints, and pins. Total creative freedom. Every guest decorates their own piece and walks out wearing something no one else in their school has. This is the activity Bay Area kids are talking about — and you won't find it anywhere else.

Activity 02

STRING THEORY

The bracelet trend that took over every concert. Now at your party.

Beads, charms, colors, patterns. Guests build their own stack from scratch and wear it before the cake is cut. No two stacks look the same. They go home with something on their wrist that's entirely, unmistakably theirs.

Activity 03

TAG & CHARM

The most personalized thing on your backpack.

Keychains. Bag charms. Clip-ons. Lip gloss holders. Guests pick their pieces and build something that goes everywhere with them — clipped to their backpack, their Stanley, their jacket zipper. Unique. Full of personality. Completely theirs.

Activity 04

THE POUR

Fluid art that is so satisfying to watch. Even more satisfying to make.

Pick your colors. Pour. Tilt. Watch something extraordinary happen. Fluid art poured onto canvas, objects, and sculptures creates patterns no brush could ever plan — and no two pieces ever look the same. Every piece goes home ready to display. This is the one that makes the parents stop and stare too.

How it works

You handle the cake. We handle the rest.

Step 1

Pick your experience

Tell us which craft sounds like your birthday kid. We plan the activity, design the table setup, and handle every detail. You're in good hands from here.

Step 2

We show up and set the scene

We arrive before your guests with everything: supplies, table decor, and setup. Your craft space is styled, stocked, and ready before the first kid walks in. All you need to do is open the door.

Step 3

We run it, start to finish

Our host guides every kid through the craft, keeps the energy up, and manages the creative chaos so you can actually enjoy the party. We pack up and clean up when it's done.

Every activity is a take-home keepsake, something real and not disposable. Parents can relax. We handle the creative chaos.
