Some of the best things you own are the ones you made yourself. That’s the idea behind our creative workshops at Gribzy in Valga: small, friendly groups, everything you need on the table, and something you’re proud of to take home at the end.
You don’t need any experience. You don’t need to bring anything. Just come curious – we’ll handle the rest. Here’s everything we offer, what it costs, and how to book.

1. Laser Engraved Keepsakes
Watch your own design appear in wood, line by line. In this workshop you’ll learn how laser engraving works, create your design on the computer with our help – a name, a date, a drawing, even a handwritten note – and then engrave it yourself on our laser machine.
It’s the perfect way to make a gift that nobody else in the world has. Popular choices are coasters with a family name, a photo frame with a meaningful date, or a little sign with a Valga–Valka motif for your home.
- Duration: 2 hours
- Age: 12+
- Group size: minimum 4, maximum 8 people
- Price: €29 per person
- You take home: 2 engraved wooden items of your choice
- Upgrade: engraved wooden cutting board +€12
2. Glass Etching
Turn plain glassware into something special. You’ll choose or draw a design, we’ll cut it into a stencil on our cutting machine, and you’ll apply etching cream to create a permanent frosted pattern – names, initials, dates, flowers, the Valga skyline, whatever you like.
Etched glass is dishwasher safe and never fades, which makes it a beautiful wedding, anniversary or housewarming gift.
- Duration: 2 hours
- Age: 14+
- Group size: minimum 4, maximum 8 people
- Price: €27 per person
- You take home: 2 etched wine glasses, or a glass jar and a drinking glass
- Upgrade: etched glass carafe +€10
3. Make Your Own Keyrings
Small, quick and so much fun. Design your own keyrings: print a favourite photo onto acrylic or metal, engrave a name into wood, and paint and decorate your own shapes. You’ll be surprised how many you want to make once you start.
It’s our shortest workshop and a brilliant first taste of crafting for kids, school classes and anyone who’s short on time. Keyrings also make great little gifts and party favours.
- Duration: 1 hour
- Age: 7+
- Group size: minimum 4, maximum 12 people
- Price: €12 per person
- You take home: 3 keyrings – one photo-printed, one engraved, one painted
- Extra keyrings: €3 each
4. Design Your Own T-Shirt
Wear something that’s 100% yours. Choose your shirt, design your print – text, a drawing, your team name, an inside joke – and press it yourself with our heat press. We’ll show you how to place it, how to get crisp edges and how to wash it so it lasts.
Ideal for friend groups, hobby clubs, dance groups and sports teams who want matching shirts – or for anyone who wants a one-off gift.
- Duration: 2 hours
- Age: 10+
- Group size: minimum 4, maximum 8 people
- Price: €35 per person, including a quality cotton t-shirt
- Good to know: sizes from kids to adult – tell us your size when you book
5. Make Your Own Hoodie
Our t-shirt workshop’s cosy big sibling. Because a hoodie has more space, you can go big: a print on the front, a design on the back and even a word or date down the sleeve. You’ll design everything with our help and press it yourself.
Perfect for graduates, dance and sports teams, or matching family hoodies for winter. Bring your own ideas – or your own sketches – and we’ll help you turn them into a print.
- Duration: 2.5 hours
- Age: 12+
- Group size: minimum 4, maximum 8 people
- Price: €49 per person, including a quality cotton-blend hoodie
- Prints included: front, back and one sleeve
- Good to know: sizes from kids to adult – tell us your size and colour when you book
6. Design Your Own Cup
Your morning coffee will never taste the same. Design your own cup on the computer or mobile – a photo, your favourite quote, a drawing by your child – and see how sublimation printing works as the design is pressed permanently into the cup.
A personal cup is one of the most loved gifts there is: for grandparents, teachers, colleagues or yourself. Prints are bright, dishwasher safe and don’t peel.
- Duration: 1.5 hours
- Age: 8+
- Group size: minimum 4, maximum 10 people
- Price: €19 per person
- You take home: 1 printed white ceramic cup (330 ml), boxed
- Extras: second cup €9
7. Custom Tumblers & Bottles
Make the bottle you’ll actually carry every day. Choose a stainless steel tumbler or water bottle, then personalise it with a full-colour sublimation print or a laser-engraved name, logo or pattern – or both.
Our tumblers and bottles keep drinks hot or cold for hours, so they’re ideal for school, work, the gym and long walks around Valga. They also make great team and corporate gifts.
- Duration: 2 hours
- Age: 12+
- Group size: minimum 4, maximum 8 people
- Price: €32 per person
- You take home: a 600 ml stainless steel tumbler with lid and straw, or a 750 ml water bottle
8. Photo Cushion Covers
Bring your favourite photos onto the sofa. Design a cushion cover with family pictures, your pet, a holiday snapshot or your own pattern, and print it with our sublimation press in vivid, soft-to-the-touch colour.
A cushion with a photo of the grandchildren is one of those gifts that makes people cry happy tears. It also makes a lovely keepsake for new parents and pet lovers.
- Duration: 1.5 hours
- Age: 10+
- Group size: minimum 4, maximum 8 people
- Price: €29 per person
- You take home: a printed 40 × 40 cm cushion cover
- Extra cover: €15 (print a different design on each side for free)
9. Tote Bag Design
Say goodbye to plastic bags in style. Design your own cotton tote bag – paint it by hand with fabric paints, press on a printed design with our heat press, or combine both – and carry your own artwork to the market, the beach or the library.
Tote bags are a favourite with all ages, from kids decorating a bag for their swimming kit to friends making matching bags for a trip. Fabric paints are washable once they’re set, and we’ll show you how.
- Duration: 1.5 hours
- Age: 8+
- Group size: minimum 4, maximum 10 people
- Price: €18 per person
- You take home: 1 natural cotton tote bag (38 × 42 cm) with your design
- Extra bag: €9
10. Handmade Greeting Cards
A card you made yourself says more than any shop-bought one. Make your own “Palju õnne” birthday cards, thank-you cards or cards for any occasion.
This is our most relaxed workshop – great for friends, mums and daughters, grandparents with grandchildren, or anyone who simply wants a calm, creative evening.
- Duration: 1.5 hours
- Age: 6+
- Group size: minimum 5, maximum 12 people
