It was a birthday present from my partner and it was definitely one of the best present I’ve received. Heecho was such a delight to have as a teacher. I wasn’t sure if I was able to make a decent ring but everything is well explained and our rings turn out beautifully. It was overall a great experience.

We were all delighted with the end products and some mentioned they would love to do the + more

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!
