Baton Rouge’s Best Creative Classes
Looking for something to do beyond the usual dinner-and-a-movie routine?
Baton Rouge has a surprisingly creative side, and these local spots make it easy to get your hands dirty, learn something new, and walk away with something to show for it. Whether you’re planning a girls’ night, a date, or just a solo afternoon out, here’s where to start.
BellyFire Studios
At BellyFire, you can walk right in and choose from an endless variety of fired pottery pieces to paint at your own pace. If you want to take your talent a step further, you can book a class or private event to create your own unique pottery from scratch. It’s a great spot for date nights, birthday parties, or a creative afternoon with friends.
Baton Rouge Succulent Co.
Grow your green thumb by joining a class or workshop at Baton Rouge Succulent Co., where you’ll learn all the best ways to keep your plants healthy and thriving at home. They also host private events for team-building, birthday parties, girls’ nights, and more. Bonus: Ticket holders get 20% off all plants and pots on the day of their class!
Red Stick Spice Co.
If you’ve ever wanted to recreate your favorite restaurant dishes at home, Red Stick Spice is the place to start. Their hands-on cooking classes are fun, practical, and led by people who genuinely believe that cooking at home is good for your health and happiness. Bonus: Part teaching kitchen, part store, you can even shop for spices and other cooking supplies after your class!
The Bougie Bar
The Bougie Bar is the perfect spot to sip wine, hang with your favorite people, and leave with a candle you actually made yourself. Book a private event for birthdays, bachelorettes, team outings, or girls’ nights, or just walk in and blend your favorite fragrances on the spot. Planning last minute? No problem because walk-ins are always welcome.
The Tipsy Librarian
Owner Maranda Howell may have traded her library card for a cocktail shaker, but her approach to teaching hasn’t changed a bit. At The Tipsy Librarian, classes are designed to take you through the why and how behind every ingredient and technique in a way that actually sticks. Each class includes three premium cocktails with take-home recipes printed on library cards, food from a local restaurant, and an Uber voucher to cap the night right. Public and private class options are available, so whether you’re flying solo or rounding up a crew, there’s a spot for you at the bar.
Pinspiration
Try a new hobby or revisit an old one at Pinspiration, where you’ll find everything from string art and painting to home decor, wood cutouts, and a splatter room all under one roof. Once you leave, you’ll want to come back to try something else! Walk-ins are available, but make sure to check out their hours before heading over.
Eloise Market and Cakery
At Eloise Market and Cakery, you’re not just learning to bake, you’re creating an experience. Classes cover everything from cake decorating and flower cupcake bouquets to pastries and full dinners, with seasonal offerings that keep things fresh all year long. They also offer day camps for kids, making it a great option for the little ones who like to bake.
Create Studios
Create Studios is a laid-back arts and carafes space where you can try your hand at painting, resin, mosaics, jewelry making, and more. Classes are beginner-friendly and instructor-led, so you don’t need any experience to walk through the door. Check their schedule on Eventbrite and come ready to make something you’ll actually want to take home.
