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.

Great choice for a birthday gift experience to enjoy together, as both the birthday girl and I as the giver loved it! Scrumptious yummies & champers, lovely flowers, Jemima taught us the basis of good arranging with humour and patience, and we all loved the arrangements we managed. Highly recommended Cheryl F (March 2024)

Wheel Throwing Class: Clay Soirée
My husband, son and I, thoroughly enjoyed our wheel throwing workshop Sunday the 10/3. Considering it was a 39deg day, the room was set up with fans, iced water to keep us cool. Very thoughtful! Examples/instructions given by teachers were clear and easy to follow, loved everything about this workshop. The best birthday present I ever received. Thank you!

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.

Went to this cooking class with my Dad as a birthday present . We had a fantastic day with Jacqui in her beautiful home kitchen in Sorrento. Class was very interactive and informative, in a fun relaxed setting. Intimate group size and the social aspect of learning and dining with others adds positively to the experience. Food was divine - wish I could have taken more of the rhubarb brûlée home! + more

We have a wide range of DIY workshops that would make the perfect birthday presents for men who love to roll up their sleeves, get their hands dirty and tap into their inner creativity.

For the man who loves getting creative with paint, try a resin art or acrylic pouring class in Richmond.

Our DIY workshops also help them learn something new or explore a craft they’ve always wanted to try.

Our classes are beginner-friendly, which means that anyone can join in on the fun!
