Kintsugi Workshop for Beginners
This was a fabulous way to learn about the philosophy of Kintsugi and the culture of Japan. Jun and Mahitme were wonderful to listen to and learn from. I loved learning the art of kintsugi and taking home a beautiful creation on top of all of that! This would be a fantastic gift idea as well.

Clay Sculpture Workshop: Make a Human Torso

It was really exciting getting to learn about individual scents and how they come together to make perfumes. We enjoyed being able to smell everything and being able to create our own personalised perfumes. It was such a beautiful present idea and we loved the champagne + more

This was a Christmas gift from our dad. Our teacher Jessica was lovely, warm and friendly. Jessica even arrived with some pastries that was a beautiful gesture thank you.

The oils were so beautiful to smell and even funnier was the fact that + more

Steve and I were given this class as a gift from our son. It was fabulous to experience something completely different, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Mark was very knowledgeable and definitely made glass blowing look easy! We came away with the pieces we made and they will be a lovely memento of a fun afternoon. Thoroughly recommended!
Asha Lunarzewski
The cooking class was a birthday present for my husband. He loved it very much. We both learnt new techniques how to peel prawns and how to cook snapper on bbq. The squid salad was also amazing. Loved the spices which were added. We bought some too for our use at home.
Louise Elaine Go
It was a birthday gift for my friend. We really enjoyed the class, although it went overtime for 1 hr. It takes time to learn how to tuft and the Tufting gun is also heavy so you need to rest your arm. Pick a 2D image which is easy to draw. Nothing too complex. Oh and don't choose white, because there's not enough yarn for that. The teacher (Sophia) is very patient. If you're a slow learner like me, + more
Rebeka Ryding
When I opened the box, I was happy to see the quality of materials provided is excellent. The kit includes everything you need to get started right away, no rummaging for tape or pencils, literally everything is here. The silk had been cut to the right size and even the frame had been taped up ready for me, I was pleasantly surprised by the care that had gone into creating the kits. Speaking of which, + more
Lana Brown
Clay and Sip Earring Making Workshop
Birthday gift for a 7yo and 63yo. Everyone had an amazing time, made heaps of earrings, hairclips, keyrings, and a broach. The 63yo was worried because they aren't creative but all the tools and accessories made it super easy to create beautiful products

Wendy Delfos
Received this class as a birthday gift and it was the best gift ever! Had so much fun creating something useful. Can't wait to use my cheeseboard.
Nicole Fong
Noriko was a lovely, helpful and friendly instructor. Her hands on and patient approach made it so easy to follow the kintsugi process, and the bits of kintsugi history and background, and tea break with snacks kept the session interesting. I can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned to the broken ceramics i have at home. The kintsugi kit that Noriko stocked was an easy way to try it for myself. + more

Tufting Class for Beginners: Make a Tufted Rug
I gave the tufting class experience as a gift for my best friend and it was such great fun All the materials were included, the instructors were very helpful and the rugs turn out so fin! 100% would recommend! The class is great value for money because you get your own personal rug for a fraction for a decent price!
Melinda Roach
Xmas gift voucher for myself & made it a family night with my husband and daughter. Shannon was a great host and teacher, she has so much knowledge she shared, but yet gave us all creative freedom with as much support as we needed. Thank you also for the wine & snacks. We had a wonderful night and really enjoyed ourselves and the class. Thank you.
