Kintsugi Workshop for Beginners
This was a fabulous way to learn about the philosophy of Kintsugi and the culture of Japan. Jun and Mahitme were wonderful to listen to and learn from. I loved learning the art of kintsugi and taking home a beautiful creation on top of all of that! This would be a fantastic gift idea as well.

Freeform Clay Hand Building Class - Private
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

Glaze and Sip Class: Glaze Japanese Tea Cups
My husband bought me a gift voucher for this class as I’ve always wanted to try it. Even though he’s not super artsy, he came along with me and we both really enjoyed it. I had no idea this was how the glazed mugs were made so it was really cool to learn the process and the instructions were really easy to follow. This class is definitely a great gift idea and I would definitely be keen to do another + more

Birthday gift for a 7yo and 63yo. Everyone had an amazing time, made heaps of earrings, hairclips, keyrings, and a broach. The 63yo was worried because they aren't creative but all the tools and accessories made it super easy to create beautiful products

Great choice for a birthday gift experience to enjoy together, as both the birthday girl and I as the giver loved it!

Highly recommended Cheryl F (March 2024)

Elizabeth is a genuine, lovely person with a strong interest and skills in creative arts. She guided us through traditional Easter egg dying from her cultural background experience and has perfected a simple yet effective way to teach and succeed at the outcome within the time frame of the class. It offered a chance to be relaxed amidst our busy life! The Forager’s Nest is a beautiful studio + 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.
Melissa Cowley
This was a gift for my Dad. We both enjoyed the workshop, following instructions, and learning in a practical, hands on way. We have both been able to take what we learnt at this workshop and apply it to make more Kokedamas at home. Our Kokedamas (that we made at the workshop) are still going strong a month later.

Perfume Making Class: Make Your Own Signature Scent
The perfume-making class was a gift from my husband. I am obsessed with perfumery and has a reasonable knowledge about the subject. I thought that I may not learn anything new. Gosh I was wrong! Louella is a fun and engaging teacher and very knowledgeable about the science and history of perfumery. We had lots of laughs. I enjoyed it immensely and have been recommending the class to my friends. I + more
