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.

My husband, son and I, thoroughly enjoyed our wheel throwing workshop Sunday the 10/3. Considering it was a 39deg day, the room was set up with fans, iced water to keep us cool. Very thoughtful! Examples/instructions given by teachers were clear and easy to follow, loved everything about this workshop. The best birthday present I ever received. Thank you!

We had great fun at this class, got a good few handy chef tips and made a delicious meal. Tracy and June were lovely and we learnt a lot. We’ll certainly be making scrumptious gnocchi at home - especially now we understand the joys of a potato ricer and the importance of hot potatoes!

Matthew Menzel




I got this class as a birthday gift after really enjoying watching a glass blowing competition on netflix. It was such a great experience and I have some really cool keepsakes! Nick was such a great teacher. He was very supportive and stepped in to give extra help when it was required whilst allowing us to do a much as we were capable of. It was very much worth the expense!

Introductory Glassblowing Workshop review by Matthew Menzel - Melbourne


Latha Devaraja




Loved the chocolate painting class! Young was very knowledgeable, patient and creative in providing ideas and helping first-timers feel confident of painting with chocolate. Would highly recommend for all ages What a bonus to be able to eat your creation later on or gift it to a loved one :)

Chocolate Painting Class review by Latha Devaraja - Melbourne


Chloe Bartlett




Our teacher Maya was so lovely and welcoming, it felt like we already knew her. The studio in her home was warm and cosy and gave us a safe place to be creative. All materials were provided which made the process so easy and we used flowers and leaves hand picked out of her beautiful garden. Perfect mother, daughter activity and worth every cent, we’re excited to book in again for our next session!  + more

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

Got the gift making class funnily enough as a gift for my partner's bday. We both had so much fun and learned a lot from Ron who is a fantastic teacher!
