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.

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.

The teacher, Nikki, was very clear and helpful showing us step by step and assisting where necessary. Her enthusiasm for her painting was catching. The venue was well set up with all the materials provided. Lunch and drinks were provided with ample champagne and sangria as well as tea and coffee. The paella was tasty and there was also soup for those who wanted it. Some of the paintbrushes were well + more

Absolutely magical experience - can’t wait to do more. All the women in my family bought me the class as a birthday gift knowing that glass blowing was on my bucket list. The teacher was fabulous and provided a fun and inspiring class.

I got gifted this experience as a birthday gift and I really enjoyed it. The teacher was super nice and helpful, and answered all my questions without a problem. It was a good experience and I wish I could've stayed to make the wagon wheels

Native Floral Bouquet Workshop for Beginners
We had a native theme floral bouquet arrangement class with Liza Rose. Liza was the most bubbly inviting teacher that took us through thoroughly step by step to make our bouquet look professional. The venue was spacious to work around with and the materials and colours were awesome I had learned to gift wrap my arrangement in a special way that i had never even thought to use the idea that Liza used. It + more

Fantastic learning the art of clay throwing by Amber. Went with mum for a Xmas present and we laughed a lot. Can’t wait to see what our pieces come out like and keen to try it again in future. Definitely good for beginners

Alcohol Ink Class for Beginners: Medium Sized Board
A gift from my daugther and a wonderful experience. Just the two of us so we had Jenie all to ourselves. It was an amazing day. Jenie was extremely knowledgeable and skill and very happy to impart her skills. We came away with a love for the craft and big smiles on our faces.
Sue Samphier
Petra was amazing with her knowledge and was easy to understand about the blending of aromas. I came home with two very different perfumes that I love. So much so that I want to order more so they will last. The environment for the class was amazing and cool so would be perfect on a hot day. I cannot recommend this class highly enough. It was a great gift and would be an amazing class to do with a + more

Vertical Succulent Garden Workshop
A lovely space, filled with lots of succulents, plants and great gift ideas! Thank you so much, Cathy! I'm not very confident working with plants but after your workshop, feeling inspired to come back and create another mini upright garden.
Kristy Watts
Eddie was marvellous, a very patient teacher, instructions were simple and the atmosphere relaxed. Plenty of clay available for all our mistakes, and the equipment was in terrific order. I didn’t even get as grubby as I thought because they had plenty of aprons too! I really enjoyed my afternoon, it was a great gift and I hope to go again!

Best birthday presents for men who love DIY
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. You might like to challenge stereotypes by signing up the special man in your life for a perfume making workshop in the Melbourne CBD (who says men don’t love having their own signature scent?) It’s the ultimate mindful, relaxing workshop after work or a fun date night idea, where they can unwind the day away surrounded by pleasing, fragrant scents. For the man who loves getting creative with paint, try a resin art or acrylic pouring class in Richmond. Help them express their inner artist and experiment with different colours to create their own unique design.
Our DIY workshops also help them learn something new or explore a craft they’ve always wanted to try. As they get stuck into creating, it helps them slow down and focus on the present, freeing them up to just relax and connect with their loved ones. Our classes are beginner-friendly, which means that anyone can join in on the fun! Whether you’re searching for birthday experiences for him or birthday gifts for women, there’s an art, craft or foodie workshop for everyone in your life.
