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

Occasion was a gift from one of my daughters for Mothers Day. I’m so sorry, sadly can’t remember your name, but he was an absolute delight and was clear with all his instruction. The venue has a rustic atmosphere and a true pottery shed. I love that!! All the materials you need and endless clay to refine your skills. We created a clay trinket tray and the learnt the magic of creating something  + more

I booked this in as a pre wedding gift for my best friend and I to make a scent for her special day It was an amazing private session, Franklin and Crystal were very informative and attentive during the course.

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

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.

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.

Textiles class review by Sharon Cottle - Sydney


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

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!

Specifics: It's held in a proper art room/studio room. There was about 12 of us total in our session groups of 2 and 3.

We stayed back afterwards and chatted about starting some resin projects at home and they are genuinely happy to give advice and make recommendations and show what they do on  + more
