This was a Mother’s Day gift from my 2 boys. We had a great time! The class was instructed really well and the continuous bubbles an added bonus! We loved it so much we purchased the take home halloumi making kit. Will definitely recommend to my friends.

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

I booked a Private Class for 4 people with Irina from Imakesculptures as a gift for my daughters 15th Birthday. Irina doesn’t usually work on a Monday but as it was a special occasion she was very accommodating and offered to hold a Private class just for us!

We contacted Bettina because we wanted to make a personalized housewarming gift for our friend. Bettina was warm, welcoming and extremely helpful. She gave us individual attention and tailored her instructions to our projects. She even gave me a different type of clay that would dry faster, since my project was thicker and larger than my friend's. The space was homely, she offered us tea and coffee  + more

Pottery class review by Emily Deng - Sydney


Louise Elaine Go




It was a birthday gift for my friend. We really enjoyed the class, although it went overtime for 1 hr. It takes time to learn how to tuft and the Tufting gun is also heavy so you need to rest your arm. Pick a 2D image which is easy to draw. Nothing too complex. Oh and don't choose white, because there's not enough yarn for that. The teacher (Sophia) is very patient. If you're a slow learner like me,  + more

Very fun experience. It was a present for my wife for her birthday. We had a great time and walked away with yummy cheese. Cant wait to try it again at home. The buratta was fun to make. Our teacher was very good and helpful.

Georgia Alikaris




This was a surprise gift for myself and my two besties from my husband. The location is easy find, with lots of parking and close to the train station, great explanation from the teacher and quite easy to learn. I wish there was a greater variety of neutral tone yarn but the variety of bright colours is awesome. The girls and I had so much fun and our designs turned out awesome. It's best to pick  + more

Paul Peterson




"The best birthday gift I've ever had!" said my girlfriend after Tony's painting class. We were both absolute beginners and Tony patiently taught us the basics in a fun, educational, and hands-on way. He is both an expert and a natural motivator and his sunny artist studio was just a relaxing space to be inspired. I have no doubt he has lots to offer experienced painters, but if you're a beginner look  + more

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 received a gift voucher for my birthday to Setsuko's ikebana class. My daughter and I attended this today and we both absolutely loved our time with Setsuko.

I strongly recommend this class and feel it made  + more

I bought this as a Christmas present for my Dad and he really loved it! Nathan was a fantastic teacher, he was able to explain and correct us so that we both learned a lot by the end of the lesson.

I bought this class for my best friends birthday and can I say it did not disappoint! Polly was an absolute lovely human who taught us all about natural hair care products, essential oils and so so much more. I felt at ease in the classroom (which was beautiful btw) and I loved how passionate she is about natural skincare! It was so worth it, I left feeling inspired to be more natural in the products  + more

Bhavna, our cooking instructor, was so lovely and knowledgeable about Indian food and the history behind the cuisine and the spices. I loved the way she involved us in the cooking process and we each got to make a dish. The food was so delicious and we all felt like we had contributed to creating the feast we demolished at the end. At the beginning of the day, we learnt to make the awesome basic sauce  + more

This was a fantastic class. Maria was an excellent teacher, the venue was perfect, and my friend and I came away with beautiful boards we were proud to have made in the class, one being a wedding gift for a friend.

Marilena Montuoro




This amazing gift was purchased for my mother and mother in law for mother’s day and it was honestly the highlight of our weekend. Nikki was such a lovely host and very knowledgeable. She took the time to answer any questions we had about florals that didn’t necessarily relate to the class but were just curiosities. We attended the class within her beautiful backyard which was covered in gorgeous  + more
