Mollie Kerr
I booked this class for a birthday gift for my partner. Liz was great at explaining the process of making gin. Venue was small and intimate which was nice. I loved that we also got to taste some of Liz’s gin range. I would recommended this class. It was lots of fun. I wish we got to have another gin cocktail during the class.
Amber Jones
A great class for beginners and an amazing gift idea for a loved one! I took my fiancé to the wheel spinning class, it was so fun and even better that we get to keep our creations! Mahlea was a great teacher, thank you so much!
Lucy Owens
Hand Building Workshop: Clay, Paint and Sip
I surprised my mum as a bday present and we both absolutely loved it! It was so fun and we learnt so many techniques to create what ever we wanted (that we can now do for ourselves at home). The teachers were super helpful and assisted us along the way. We were a class of beginners which made it even funnier as we made our creations would highly recommend this class and can’t wait to come back!
Albert Mellam
Beginner Terrarium Making Class
This was a surprise Birthday Present for my Girlfriend and I probably ended up having more fun than she did. Carol the instructor is so lovely and you can tell she’s genuinely passionate about what she’s teaching you. We will definitely be recommending to our friends.
John Galligan
Around the World Cooking Class
I'd received it as a gift for my 50th birthday (3 years ago :/). Elle was really great - informative, fun and entertaining. Venue was great and the staff worked really hard with all the boring prep work done. This made the class really efficient, but probably did give a false sense of how easy it is. It was like a cooking show :). I learnt a number of things. I really liked how Elle showed us how + more
Emily Marshall
This was the most wonderful and fun experience! I am not artistic at all but it was loads of fun and we are proudly displaying both of our paintings in our loungeroom and it will be such a good memory to think back on!! There were a couple of moments where I thought I'd really failed and gone too wrong to recover but Hart was so amazing and wonderful and guided me each time on how I could get past + more
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.
Sharee Fiume
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.

Paint and Sip Class: Bayside Saturdays
I went with my mum as a Mothers Day gift and it was great! The teacher was very patient and helpful and there was a great atmosphere with everyone thoroughly enjoying!
Elaine Warrent
Resin Art Class: Cheeseboard and Coasters
4 in the class so had a more hands on class with the teacher. Very helpful with good guidance and everything provided. Would make a good gift for a crafty person. My partner enjoyed it too! Street parking outside at the weekend
Adeline Yanuar
Large Terrarium Making Workshop
I had an awesome time making my 1st terrarium today. 2 hours went so quick. Anita was amazing, she provided great advice and ideas on the landscape. You can tell she is very passionate in what she does. The choice of plants, rocks and figurine are plenty. We did it in her shop where she sells lots of cute and interesting things that you can add to your terrarium, the options are endless. Ample of parking. + more

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

Picture Framing Class for Beginners
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.
Pat Jukes
Luxury Natural Perfume Masterclass
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

Sip and Paint Class with Paella: Ghost Gums in the Mist
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
Katherine Swalwell
Paint and Sip: Glow UV Light Paint Party
This was a present from Santa for my 8 year old daughter. Might sound strange taking an 8 year old to a paint and sip, but the glow paint was a thrill for her. Teacher was fantastic and very knowledgeable and encouraging.
Bruce Facey
Introductory Glassblowing Workshop
Received this class as a Christmas present from my partner. Was super keen after watching Blown Away. Our teacher Nick was brilliant - great safety and instruction prior to starting, immense knowledge, answered every question, super collaborative, patient, and helped us achieve amazing results. The venue was just how I imagined a sweat shop should be with quality materials and equipment - and lots + more
Jessica Kisiel
I was gifted a tufting session from my family for my birthday & I had so much fun! All materials & tools were provided (they were great quality!), and the teacher was fantastic. Everything was explained so clearly and my finished piece looks absolutely amazing. I can't wait to go back for more! It's a perfect gift idea, date idea, something fun to do with kids or even solo.
Andrew Marks
Very fun experience. It was a present for my wife for her birthday. We had a great time and walked away with yummy cheese. Cant wait to try it again at home. The buratta was fun to make. Our teacher was very good and helpful.

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
