For groups of 9 or more

Standard DIY reservations are designed for groups of up to 8 guests.

If your group has 9 or more participants, we ask that you book a private group event so we can prepare the space, materials, and staffing needed to host your celebration smoothly.

This helps ensure your group has the best possible experience.

Choose the format that works best for your group

  • Studio Event

    Host your celebration at the Crafty Tomato studio in Tempe.

    We prepare the tables, materials, and creative activity so your group can relax and enjoy crafting together.

  • Take-Home Craft Kits

    Pick up prepared craft kits and host the activity at your home, party venue, or event space.

    This option is great for groups who want a creative activity but prefer to celebrate somewhere else.

    For off-site events, we provide materials and can optionally provide staff support to guide the activity.

    Additional fees may apply depending on travel and event size.

To make your celebration extra special, you may request additional event upgrades.

Available add-ons may include:

  • themed decorations
