I really enjoyed the workshop, which was a gift from my children. Belle is such an energetic and helpful teacher. The venue is really accessible with free parking. The flowers were beautiful, very fresh and plentiful. The class was a lovely way to spend two hours and I proudly took home the gorgeous bouquet I created and wrapped myself.

Floristry class review by Janine Regan - Melbourne


Mollie Kerr




I booked this class for a birthday gift for my partner. Liz was great at explaining the process of making gin. Venue was small and intimate which was nice. I loved that we also got to taste some of Liz’s gin range. I would recommended this class. It was lots of fun. I wish we got to have another gin cocktail during the class.

Amanda Trinder




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.

Wheel Throwing Workshop review by Amanda Trinder - Melbourne


Sharee Fiume




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.

Anan was a fantastic teacher for our dumplings cooking class. His instructions and demonstrations were clear and the class was so much fun!

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!
