Some happy gift recipients


Georgina Brown




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

This course Was A Xmas present from my kids. I loved every step of the process and the day. There was clear concise information and guidance and enthusiasm from the teacher Liz and a lot of patience. Loved the day, went smoothly, lots of support and help and all the equipment I needed.

Picture Framing Class for Beginners review by Matthew Badrov - Sydney


Pat Jukes




This was a Christmas gift from our dad. Our teacher Jessica was lovely, warm and friendly. Jessica even arrived with some pastries that was a beautiful gesture thank you. We had a private home experience which was lovely. We learnt so much about how perfume has base, middle and top lays and how these make the smell of the perfume. The oils were so beautiful to smell and even funnier was the fact that  + more

Steve and I were given this class as a gift from our son. It was fabulous to experience something completely different, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Mark was very knowledgeable and definitely made glass blowing look easy! We came away with the pieces we made and they will be a lovely memento of a fun afternoon. Thoroughly recommended!

Glassblowing and Mosaic class review by Alex Mansfield - 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

Tufting Class for Beginners review by Louise Elaine Go - Sydney


Amanda Hajgato




We had the best time. I bought this gift as a Mothers Day present for my mum, my mother-in-law and myself. The food was great, the cocktails were delicious and the dumpling making class was so much fun. Can’t wait to make them now at home. Thank you

Cooking class review by Amanda Hajgato - Sydney


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

Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop review by Nicole Fong - Sydney


Maria Ryan




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

I gave this pizza class to my partner as his bday present and we love it. We did the dough, next step we did our own pizza was an amazing experience. The group was also nice and we share our experiences with other couples that attended the class. Looking forward to invite some friends over for pizza night

Pizza Masterclass review by Alanna Gomes - Sydney


Amanda Kay




We loved our tufting class, a wonderful way to spend a rainy day in Sydney (with a great view of the Chinese Friendship Gardens & close proximity to Chinatown for a meal after all your hard tufting work). Linda was a very helpful teacher, imparting her wisdom and then taking a step back when we felt confident. This is an excellent gift or date idea! Super happy with how our rug turned out and will  + more

First timer doing resin paints art, and it was super fun, creative and such a great gift idea! Our teacher was nice, knowledgeable and very helpful with everyone. All materials were provided which let us get creative and create unique pieces. Venue was well sized, with street parking available.

Fluid Art class review by Shyleen Hewlett - Sydney


Joanna Klein




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. If you have been thinking about trying this I really recommend you jump in and give it a try! Im looking forward to returning another time. Thanks Maria :)

Jenny and Kerri were amazing! I had the best time. It was very relaxing … a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, creating a fabulous piece of succulent art. It was also a birthday present for my sister-in-law and she said that she had a wonderful time as well. Thoroughly recommend doing this class. Thank you, Jenny and Kerri

Gardening class review by Angeline Fong - Sydney

Great gift “experience” or date idea. Never appreciated flowers until we did this class. Super beginner friendly. Went with my partner. Want to come back again with mum next time. Mini road trip from Sydney. Good spot to get brunch at the cafe next door just before the workshops.

Seasonal Vase Arrangement Workshop review by Edmund Xian - Sydney


Brett Clements




The BBQ Seafood class was great. As someone who didn’t feel comfortable cooking seafood on the BBQ I tended to shy away from this. However, after completing this class I feel I have the confidence to give this a red hot go. The teacher was great explaining the process and demonstrating some tips on how to prep the food well, particularly squid and prawns. A receipe book for the four items we cooked  + more
