The class was an early Mother’s Day gift and my teenagers came as company. We had a great time. We’d never used a potters wheel before and it was great fun. I surprised myself with my creations. The teacher was very helpful with a good demo at the start and was very encouraging.

My daughter bought a gift voucher for me for Mother’s Day last year. I took my best friend Millie. We had a wonderful time. A delicious cheese platter and red wine topped off a fun and informative pottery class. We made 2 items, a small bowl and a large bowl. Our teacher was lovely and very talented. I enjoyed it so much that I’m taking my mum there for Mother’s Day.

Introductory Glassblowing Workshop
Received this class as a Christmas present from my partner. Was super keen after watching Blown Away. Our teacher Nick was brilliant - great safety and instruction prior to starting, immense knowledge, answered every question, super collaborative, patient, and helped us achieve amazing results. The venue was just how I imagined a sweat shop should be with quality materials and equipment - and lots + more

Catherine Hammersley
My daughter’s 16th birthday present and I wanted an experience gift that was great value and fun she loved it and was a great opportunity to broaden her art experience in this way as schools aren’t offering this platform. The workshop was led so well by talented experienced artists covering technique, it was laid back and fun. The venue was a great space and a fantastic intro into the art world. + more

It was a birthday present from my partner and it was definitely one of the best present I’ve received. Heecho was such a delight to have as a teacher. I wasn’t sure if I was able to make a decent ring but everything is well explained and our rings turn out beautifully. It was overall a great experience. The material was solid and great quality. 100% would recommend couples or friends to do it!

Blacksmithing Class for Beginners
This was a Christmas present that my daughter bought me and in return I got her a voucher to. The venue is small, but it was also a small class so no problems. Our teacher Ron gave us our safety gear and talk. As it was only a beginner's class, we did not expect too much, but we made an "S" hook with a twist out of 10mm straight bar. Ron's helping hands and knowledge guided us. Both of us really enjoyed + more

We attended Merryl's mosaic class as a family Christmas gift activity - 11 people over three generations and each person was able to choose a design they liked and work at their own level and pace. Even a safe, non-glass option for a toddler. The staff were informative and helpful and served us well and kindly! We were all delighted with the end products and some mentioned they would love to do the + more

Loved the chocolate painting class! Young was very knowledgeable, patient and creative in providing ideas and helping first-timers feel confident of painting with chocolate. Would highly recommend for all ages What a bonus to be able to eat your creation later on or gift it to a loved one :)
Shirley Huang
Terrarium Workshop for Beginners
It was a gift for my friend’s birthday and I also wanted to learn how to make a terrarium. Our teacher was Mark and he answered all my questions and gave us many tips on how to look after it. The materials are great quality Would definitely like to do another workshop with them! As for decorations, we added our own figurines to it, to make it what we wanted.

Tumema Elise
I bought this as a gift for my husband's birthday as we LOVE dumplings and the class did not disappoint! Dylan was such a great teacher, taking us through each step with clear and concise instructions. I was initially anxious as I do not cook often but Dylan created a calm environment for us to learn. We loved that there were different proteins we could choose from, all equipment required was supplied + more

Teacher was great at what she does. Very generous with her knowledge, time and plants. Great workshop. Very happy with end product - great gift idea. Would highly recommend. Venue easy to find, lots of parking and very clean and tidy.

Got the gift making class funnily enough as a gift for my partner's bday. We both had so much fun and learned a lot from Ron who is a fantastic teacher! We made copper bracelets for each other and came out with a piece we will treasure for years. Bonus points for Rocky the greyhound, the sweetest workshop dog around.
