Cupcake Decorating Class: Buttercream Flowers
What a great day!! This was a gift from family, and it couldn't have been better choice. Our teacher was very hands-on, coming around to all of the participants so that we had a close up view of the piping techniques. As a complete novice, I thought that I would have difficulties getting them to look right, but for a first attempt, I didn't think they turned out too badly. Would definitely look + more

Make Your Own Terrarium Workshop
We did the terrarium making class for my Mum's birthday. We both had a great time and love our terrariums. Flick was an excellent host and very knowledgeable about plants. She was very happy to answer general plant related questions, as well as giving terrarium-related advice. It was also very accessible as someone who doesn't have much experience with plants or gardening. Wattle + Bee was a lovely + more

It was a gift from my family. My teacher was very good she answered all my questions and went out of the way to show me more. I learnt some new tips and tricks which will be helpful in my sewing.
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
