Though all ages are welcome, the workshops are particularly aimed at children aged five to 12.
All children must be accompanied by an adult, but only adults who wish to make a craft object need to book and pay for a place.
Taking inspiration from its famous setting, the tea rooms will also host family baking sessions, where participants can create traditional treats.
Family baking sessions will include the chance to bake coconut macaroons on Saturday, July 12, and to create a cranachan on Saturday, August 2.
Each baking workshop will last two hours and cost £7 per participant.
During these sessions, while the treats are being set, attendees will be guided on a family-friendly tour around the original Willow Tea Rooms building, before getting the chance to take any leftovers home.

(Image: National Trust for Scotland) Oliver Braid, the National Trust for Scotland's creative learning manager at Mackintosh at the Willow, said: "The work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow Style has been inspiring artists for decades, but it's not just for adults and art lovers.
"These workshops are a really great way to engage the next generation in the history of our city in a fun and hands-on way, and they can make something special to take home with them to enjoy for years to come.
"Our baking workshops are also a fun and easy way to learn a new skill, and to learn about the Scots kitchen and the role of tea rooms like Mackintosh at the Willow in our social history.
"And there's nothing better than a sweet treat during the summer holidays.
"We can't wait to welcome everyone this summer."
Places for the workshops are limited, and booking is essential.

Lewis Capaldi spotted in Celtic top as he arrives for The Tonight Show appearance in New York
The Scots singing sensation summed up his Glastonbury performance to host Jimmy Fallon in three words. Lewis Capaldi was spotted wearing a Celtic top while arriving for his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in New York - where he summed up his Glastonbury performance in three very revealing words. The Scots singing sensation is Stateside to promote his new single 'Survive' which raced to the top of the charts after a two year hiatus from the music scene. The song garnered over four million streams in its debut week. The Glaswegian stepped back from the limelight after a panic attack triggered by his Tourettes Syndrome at Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage in 2023 forced him to prioritise his wellbeing. But arriving to NBC Studios in Midtown Manhattan on Monday, July 14, Capaldi looked the pictured of health as he donned his beloved side's jersey paired with black Nike shorts and Adidas trainers. The hitmaker looked relaxed as he made his way into the building lobby before going on to perform his latest tune to millions of US viewers. Despite joking the single was "currently underperforming in America," the star opened up about happy times - his secret return to Glastonbury. Firstly reflecting on his meltdown on stage in 2023, Lewis said: "The first time did not go well. I had what the children would refer to as a bit of a menty B. A bit of a mental breakdown on stage. Nothing too serious. "I have Tourettes so I used to tic quite a lot and I still do but I used to do this thing with my shoulder and it became really uncontrollable and I had a panic attack on stage at Glastonbury and I couldn't finish the song. "It happened a couple of times at shows and stuff but I think because this one was so publicised and had so many eyes on it, it really made me think I need to go and get this sorted, I can't keep doing this to myself." However, his return to the Pyramid Stage on June 27 saw Capaldi back with a bang. Speaking about how he felt in the run up to it, Lewis said: "It was terrifying. In the lead up to it I was like this is horrific, I've made a terrible decision and then we did it and it was really beautiful and lovely. "It went exactly as I hoped and it was probably the best day of my life - until I assume when I have a child I'll be like maybe, Glastonbury was still better." Last week, Lewis announced a UK tour last week which sold out in just minutes. The Someone You Loved chanter will play four dates in Scotland this coming September, with two nights at Aberdeen's P&J Live on September 10 and 11, and two nights at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on September 13 and 14. Lewis told the audience on The Tonight show: "You can try and get tickets but they're sold out baby so fat chance." Americans couldn't get enough of the talent's return to the small screen on the other side of the Atlantic. Taking to the YouTube comments, one music fan wrote: "Such a beautiful soul…he gives us all he has and never disappoints! I wish Jimmy had asked him where else he can be seen on TV in USA! I just want him to stay healthy and not overworked! I love his charming accent!!!!" Another scribed: "Lewis is an amazing person. I hoped he is very loved in his personal life." A third penned: "Authentically Scottish, no BS. Love him," while a fourth added: "I appreciate Jimmy Fallon having Lewis Capaldi on his show. It's great to hear how Lewis has been doing. Fantastic to hear he had a triumphant return at Glastonbury." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.
