We are expert pumpkin carvers, known for creating intricate works of pumpkin art for top brands and institutions around the globe. We built our reputation with our extreme attention to detail, but are also very experienced teaching artists.
Our classes are perfect for beginners! We kick off with a brief history of pumpkin carving, where you will learn how this tradition first developed, as well as how Marc and Chris, along with their team at Maniac Pumpkins, helped elevate a national pastime to an ephemeral art form!

We will help our guests push their carvings to the next level using a heavy dose of creativity, and some household items.

My husband and I had really enjoyed this experience! Marc is an amazing artist and he started off telling us a bit about the history of Halloween and pumpkin carving and how he got into it. Then he jumped into guiding us in how to do it. We’re total beginners so we used the templates he offered and he gave us lots of great tips along the way. We used all supplies from our kitchen and they worked well. I highly recommend this experience!!

Marc did an excellent job sharing his expertise and engaging us in a fun evening of pumpkin carving. His thoughtful guidance and tips gave us the confidence to try a more advanced carving and together we nailed it! All the while we learned more about the history of jack-o-lanterns and the incredible work of Maniac Pumpkins. This class is a must-do for a socially-distant fall!
