CRAFT Your Signature Style
Start your creative adventure at Indiehouse Modern Fragrance Bar, where you can design a scent as unique as your fingerprint. Blend top and base notes, experiment with inspiration, and bottle a fragrance that captures your personality perfectly. Next, wander into Urban Fresh Home, a boutique experience where craftsmanship meets comfort. Take a lampshade-making workshop or explore their collection of curated gifts that turn creativity into something cozy and lasting.
UNLEASH Your Inner Artist
At All Fired Up, Sis + Moon’s, and Painting with a Twist, creativity flows freely. Paint pottery, design a colorful canvas, or craft something unexpected—no experience required. Each cozy studio is a space to unwind, connect, and make something beautiful with your own two hands.
DESIGN a Little Sparkle
Step into Kendra Scott and discover the Color Bar, where you can design jewelry that shines your way. Choose the stones, the metals, and the details, then walk out wearing your own creation.
For a personalized flair, head to Star’s Hats & Jewelry Bar, where you can design a custom hat embellished with feathers, bands, and charms that reflect your unique style. Every hat here is a statement, and yours will be one-of-a-kind.
SAVOR Unique Flavors
Find food as exceptional as the experiences you just created. At one of Alpharetta’s award-winning restaurants, the dining scene is full of culinary artists who turn every meal into a masterpiece. Sip a hand-crafted cocktail at Up on the Roof, indulge in a locally inspired dish at Secreto Kitchen & Bar, or cozy up with a rich cup of cocoa at Just Love Coffee. Each bite celebrates the city’s signature Southern hospitality.
BUILD Family Memories
Alpharetta’s creative energy is contagious and perfect for families. Little makers will love bringing their own furry friend to life at Build-A-Bear Workshop or diving into gooey, glittery fun at The Slime Factory. Budding chefs can join hands-on cooking classes at Flour Power Cooking Studios, whipping up delicious dishes while learning kitchen confidence and teamwork.
It’s the perfect mix of play and discovery.
