Zupinder Billing Mar 2024


It was a Team Building activity
Teacher was lovely and led the activity well
Venue was very cool and appropriate
Everything was good - would have liked some better plant options
Enjoyed spending time with my team doing something mindful
yes good value for money we had a big terrarium to take home at the end
playing with the clay and making something for the terrarium

Jodie Goldfinch Mar 2024


The resin cheeseboard class was great fun, Jasmine the teacher was fantastic she explained everything really well and was super encouraging. The venue was very cool and the entire experience was a lot of fun. I’d highly recommend

Janet Blainey Mar 2024


My family gave me a gift voucher and I chose this class to make a present for my son turning 50
I loved the class good instruction, good demonstrating and plenty of suggestions making it all work

Shenali Fernando Mar 2024


The sculpting was fun, and the teacher was always ready to help and really encouraging!

Shannyn Oberegger Mar 2024


It was such a lovely experience, everyone was so nice. Such a creative atmosphere with all the decorations.

I had a great experience in this class. Was loads of fun and something different! Just wish we could’ve cooked the clay

Pottery class review by Tammy Menzies - Melbourne

Sandhya Duggan Mar 2024


The teacher was great, friendly and helpful. The material provided (clay) was great and there was plenty to work with. The class was enjoyable.

Mitchell Zadow Feb 2024


Our team had an amazing morning learning how to make terrariums - and tapping into our inner creativity!

Ushan Dantanarayana Feb 2024


It was very free and open experience with a good atmosphere. Certainly enjoyed my experience

Helen Siddel Feb 2024


I really love the final product that we got to go away with - my cheese board and coaster were beautiful. Jasmine was amazing in sharing the key knowledge required for resin crafting - and will give you the confidence to progress beyond the workshop, so you can do even more. Who knew resin crafting was so easy

Emma Crosby Feb 2024


Jasmine from ARTea was awesome! We had a team bonding work activity with 16 of us non creatives getting involved. Jasmine was patient and helped all of us create our works of art! The space was awesome, super fun and big enough for us all, as well as having a bar setup to enjoy a cheeky cocktail. Would definitely go back!

Janice Lee Feb 2024


Very relaxing, calm venue and atmosphere. Nice and laid back.
Teacher is very friendly no matter your skill level.

Lauren McGuigan Feb 2024


The resin class was really enjoyable! For my friend and I who are not so arty/crrative, this was a perfect class where we were able to complete something nice to bring home! Would recommend to anyone.

Susan Cassar Jan 2024


Angela presented the beginners photography workshop. I did not know what to expect from the workshop, and needless to say Angela, provided a very enjoyable experience. Her knowledge and care provided a safe and encouraging environment of learning. If you have any interest in this workshop sign up now.

Monique Matheson Jan 2024


We went cause my mate had a voucher and honestly had so much fun. It’s soo calming playing with the clay and creating cool pieces

Gemma Micallef Jan 2024


I took a friend to the Resin cheese board and sip class.
It was very daunting for me to be doing something new but the teacher (Jasmine) was lovely, she gave us easy instructions and guided us through the process.
Jasmine answered all our questions and gave us great tips if we wanted to get crafty at home. All materials were provided and
I liked the small class size (there were 6 of us there).
We were doing an ocean theme but extra materials and colours were provided if we wanted to choose a different theme.
I am impressed with end product and inspired to try some more at home as it was so much fun.

Dean Gibbons Jan 2024


Teacher was great - step us through the process in a logical manner, easy to understand and follow.
Loved the demonstrations prior to performing the activities ourselves.
Answered all our questions and gave is a really understanding.

Levi Dixon Jan 2024


She was lovely couldn’t fault her honestly. Would definitely come back again sometime soon :)

Mandy Evans Dec 2023


Jasmine was extremely helpful and informative in teaching us the basics of epoxy resin. The class was very enjoyable. Highly recommend

Great fun for a big group event, but wasn’t what was expected. Not byo drinks and not much guidance and can’t paint the clay there. Good activity though

Charleen Ong Dec 2023


Not as advertised. No wine or cocktails offered to us. We even had to bring our own drinks and cups despite initally advertised having a fully stocked bar and no BYO alochol. The class provided some clay, barely any instructions, not great value for money.

Celia Wheatley Dec 2023


$60 and you get a lump of clay and get set free. Not even a drink. And the pottery doesn’t get fired/glazed. Disappointing!

Huda Ashraf Dec 2023


Venue, experience and service were all excellent! However the high tea was a huge let down. In fact it was not really a high tea. It was more of a spread. I'd recommend Artea to improve pon this aspect and to increase the duration of the class to 3 hours. Other than that our group was very pleased!

Anita Dec 2023


The class was lovelyJasmine was very attentive.
Would recommend to anyone interested in an intro class to Resin

Nicole Anderson Dec 2023


We enjoyed the experience but a little disappointed that all our houses fell apart, and the lolly decorations could have been more Christmas themed with Christmas colours. It also would have been good if more spread out we were all crammed onto table not much room to work with our houses and decorating. The teacher was lovely and helpful.

Gingerbread House Decorating Workshop review by Nicole Anderson - Melbourne

Trudi Clark Dec 2023


Dianne was knowledgeable and very helpful.
She guided us through the process well.
It was amazing to see the individuality amongst the paintings.
We had a great day.
Thank you

Glenda Sciberras Dec 2023


Venue and atmosphere was great however the class felt less of a “class” and more of a “here’s a clump of clay and some equipment”. Minimal guidance given by teacher, more of a demonstration and assistance would’ve been helpful. Other than that it was a fun experience :)

Suzanna Pate Dec 2023


What was the teacher like?
-> She was so lovely and friendly!
How was the venue (if applicable)?
-> Such a cool looking place, loved the decorations and it felt like a private club/bar just for us!
If materials were provided, did you like them?
- Yes but we asked for more colours and she went to get them.
Was the experience good value for money?
- We wished to have more tips and tricks on how to do it, but it was great for the value. Really good quality cheese boards and lots of resin.
What did you do / learn?
- We learnt how to make resin cheese boards, first practicing with a coaster.
What did you like most?
- Doing the cheese board!

Tegan Cartwright Dec 2023


Very supportive and helpful. Created a very welcoming environment for most of us who had never done clay sculpting before.

Jennifer Delnegro Dec 2023


Wow what a great place that holds various activities in one location

Our group was for 6, it was very interesting to see each person’s unique creativity shine thru.

Teacher explained process and tips working on her coaster first, then was available to assist/answer questions as the class proceeded on our coasters first.
We then moved onto our boards with confidence to create our master pieces

Everyone was pleased with their outcome.
Yes I recommend the resin class as it was a fun and unique experience

Tania Falzon Dec 2023


Teacher was great. Fun class and wonderful atmosphere , fantastic venue. I am looking forward to showing off my beautiful resin cheeseboard, the resin coaster will come in handy for my drinks.
Great excuse to eat cheese and have wine.

Lovely studio and the cocktail making bit was actually my favourite part. Very thorough and informative and you get to make and learn all aspects of the cocktail making experience! Had a great time
Thks so much!

Vicky Sotiriou Dec 2023


Loved the venue at Roxy’s beautifully decorated small intimate place, easy to find with kitchen access.
Bar tenders were awesome, friendly, attentive and made good drinks.
The art teachers were helpful, good instructions to begin with, chatty, set up was very nice.
Our staff loved the atmosphere, freedom to create in a social environment away from work to build relationships with colleagues and celebrate the achievements of the year.
Thank you. We would definitely recommend to anyone and keep you in mind for future events.

Stephanie Waters Dec 2023


The workshop was a success. I arranged it for my team and they loved every moment.

Chloe Binek Nov 2023


Although the directions were clear, the building itself was confusing to find. The set up was nice and the class had a comfortable amount of people. We initially couldn't have our cocktails as the bartender wasn't there but the ladies eventually made them. The did give us another drink initially as an apology but when we received our cocktails, it wasn't the type we ordered. A small hiccup but overall, we had a great night and enjoyed being creative.

Corinne Brodribb Nov 2023


Loved it! It was super fun! I did think we were painting the pottery as well, but oh well, it was awesome!

Leyla Karabas Nov 2023


The class was fun, and had a relaxing vibe. However, disappointed we didn’t get to paint the pieces in the session as they were not dry.

Sarah Duke Nov 2023


It was a beautiful set up and decorated with fairy lights and had a bar. The drinks were nice.

My mum and I attended this class last year and it was so much fun! Learning about resin and creating a wonderful cheeseboard that has been used so much in my home. Truly a stunning piece and a fun workshop. Would recommend

Bridget Mostert Nov 2023


Awsome venue! Really great fun!
We all loved it! Will recommend to friends. Thank you!

Glenn Wilkinson Nov 2023


Facilitator was friendly, helpful and made some good creative suggestions. Good variety of materials. Venue was well located and spacious - a little dimly lit for the exercise. Terrariums themselves were generous in size and plenty of time was allowed to complete them. Overall I'd consider this good value for money & would recommend as a team building exercise.

Jenny Nguyrn Oct 2023


Not what we expected. Barely any instructions and we were just left to “play” with the clay. No glasses available either. Not worth the money.

Tasman Cocks Oct 2023


Great experience for a social work event! Had a great amount of freedom to create whatever we wanted and the teacher was able to help with techniques and tips. Venue was great as were the drinks too.

Anonymised ClassBento student Oct 2023


This class was really fun and I really enjoyed it. I would definitely go again. The cocktails were delicious too

Pottery class review by Anonymised ClassBento student - Melbourne

Barbara Bentley Oct 2023


Setting wasn’t ready not enough space
Expected a bit more of structure with the class

Kylie Oct 2023


Had a bachelorette party with the clay making class and it was awesome. Simple to make clay sculpture or bowl and could get really creative. Great venue with good party vibes. Good drinks at bar and would recommend for many occasions!

Paulina Stedall Oct 2023


I attended with 2 friends. While we got to take home a few art pieces, the class was not what we expected. The description said that there would be decorating elements and coloured clay, which would match the pictures used to advertise this workshop, but we were only provided with stoneware clay. This made our pieces look unfinished. There was also little guidance, leaving us feeling as though we could have bought clay and followed online tutorials for less than half the price with a similar end result. The teacher was friendly though.

Chelsea Bennetts Oct 2023


Had a great hens night here! Made some really cute pots and plates, would’ve loved to have the opportunity to have them fired or painted

Nitya Phillipson Sep 2023


The class was so fun but could have been better organised. We spent quite a lot of time waiting for the instructor - who was lovely- to set up. We also would have benefited from being told that we would need to take the board straight home and to allow for that. We kept our peice at the classroom (with the instructors permisson) but the whole thing was placed improperly and both boards were pretty much ruined by all the resin slipping. It was fun. I'd do it again for sure.

Georgia was fantastic! We did the class as a work team bonding event and had a great time. We all loved our boards, Georgia was so helpful and gave us lots of tips and tricks. Highly recommend!

Christine Vann Sep 2023


At first I thought I was in the wrong place. Once the venue was confirmed, we settled down for some fun. Instruction was clear and helpful and then the fun began. Wow, I could not believe how quickly we all took to it. Drinks were a little pricy but it was fun. I would recommend this class as a great introduction to an amazing new craft.

Fluid Art class review by Christine Vann - Melbourne

Elizabeth Dornom Sep 2023


Good set up and space, however was not pot plant making as advertised. Could have been more structured.

Lara Sun Sep 2023


Great deal of fun for me, being creative and productive at the same time to deliver an artwork that’s pretty to look at and functional. The venue is a shared function space. Im not a safety wizard, but can identify a few safety hazards. Teacher is accomodating and patient, however one of the heat blow gun is not working properly, impacts the end product. We were offered to leave the artwork overnight for drying, and they were damaged when we pick them up the next day, seems like they were moved around without care. Very disappointed. Currently waiting for a resolution, hopefully it will be addressed soon.

The teacher was lovely and knowledgeable but the venue had poor lighting, the table (that 4 of us were sharing) was unstable and I didn’t realise that the pieces wouldn’t be fired. The music was good and it was a fun vibe.

Over all experience was good, more guidance would have been appreciated or specific models/ideas for beginners would have been good. But over experience was good.

Cocktails were delicious!

It was great fun and teachers were on hand to assist and guide through any issues or even ideas of what to sculpt.

Awesome afternoon!

Great class, very fun and informative! A bit disappointing as we ran out of white paint to create ocean waves, otherwise still beautiful designs

My friend and I had so much fun! It was a creative class and the instructors were very encouraging and helpful. We got to make two items to bring home!

Eva Karayiannis Jul 2023


My girls and i did the sip'n'sculpt session in South Melbourne at Roxies. The venue was so art deco gorgeous.
The staff were lovely. It was a fun atmosphere.
There was plenty of clay, was a lot of fun.

Claire Prior Jul 2023


The teacher went into more than I was expecting, teaching us all about the making of the resin. Very flexible and sought other colours at our request. Very accommodating with offering refreshments, breaks and making sure we felt comfortable (ie if we wanted heater on/mask for not breathing in resin fumes etc) enough equipment to share around and all in all and enjoyable class

The class was a fun few hours in a venue just off Clarendon Street in South Melbourne. Jasmine was lovely.
A little more time on understanding the process in places would have been nice with maybe a second coaster to try before the board.

We had the snack box which we didn’t finish as we were too involved in the resin process.

I didn’t know what to expect with working with clay. I liked how you got creative freedom to create what you want. I would’ve liked a bit more guidance or more tools to work with so I could create different patterns. I would’ve also liked the option to paint my clay at the end

Liv Lamprill Jul 2023


This was a great EOFY group activity, lots of fun and something unique! The team allow you to have creative freedom but also guide you with ideas and direction too! Highly recommend for your next group activity!

Holly McKay Jun 2023


I did enjoy getting into making the pot itself which was fun. But the class started late and the demonstration went for a couple of minutes and we couldnt hear or see the teacher from where we where sitting. I honestly could of just bought clay and do it at home for much cheaper.

I purchased this class pass for my mum for Mother’s Day. We went over the weekend with my mum and my sister and had an absolute ball! It was really well organised. The instructors were very knowledgeable and it was easy to follow drinks options were awesome and the jug of sangria was spot on. The little snack box of cold meats and cheeses looks really great and if we do this again will probably order. We left with some fun, looking clay, pots and bowls. Lots of laughter and a a smile on our faces. Highly recommend.

The class was a great night out The teacher was fun and really helpful and the venue was a hidden gem just off Clarendon Street. It was nice to be able to take home our cheeseboard and coaster at the end of the night so it's ready to use next time there's wine and cheese on offer. Definitely a fun present idea for your next celebration.

Nita Jager Jun 2023


Friendly staff and nice with the drinks and snack box. Would have been better if we could choose the colours and more heat guns as we constantly had to wait and were skipped over. Overall lovely experience

Sip and Paint Class: Art Deco Palette Peacock review by Tania Fong - Melbourne

Kate Aplin Apr 2023


Disappointing class. Started late and a few issues.
The instructor demonstrated once, and then spent the whole time mixing resin and not assisting people, despite having an assistant with her.
There was not enough equipment - small cups of resin mixed one at a time so had to be handed from one end of the table to another - by the time it got to you, there might be dregs left and then you had to wait, and wait and wait for more. Different colours provided after a wait and it is hard to layer and get the effect if your first colour is already almost dry as you've waited 20 minutes for the next colour. The small number of heat guns also had to be passed around and resulted in a 'dance' as people passed them over, under and around the table, having to move the mess of cords around and out from people’s feet every time. It was not well organised – which is a shame, as the product seems like it could be great.
It would have worked better if each person (or pair) had a small set of their own colours to use, instead of pots being passed around the whole table of people.
It felt very disorganised and maybe that the instructor had been substituted at the last minute. I mean, she didn't even turn on the overhead lights, so we could actually see what we were doing until over 30 minutes into the session. We were still on mood lighting from the girls’ event run previously.
Also, paid for grazing box which was not provided. I'll be seeking a refund.

Susan Luber Apr 2023


Enjoyable class. It was fun making something that I can use! Pity I couldn’t choose my colours.

Ashleigh Sneddon Mar 2023


We completed this class as part of a Hens party. It was so fun! Our teacher, Georgia, was so helpful and knowledgeable. The venue was lovely but lots of our guests walked past it as they couldn't see the number. The clay was lovely to work with and easy to use. The cocktails were lovely and definitely helped us embrace our creative side. They had a lovely backdrop for photos too!

The venue did have a very cute dog who we loved, even though she ate some of our catering! We were also down to 1 toilet as the door had come off the slider. Not a huge issue, we just used that one to wash our hands.

Zoe Koutkos Mar 2023


It was fun to be able to make something but the class was not what I expected. I would have like some more guidance and more of a tutorial. We were only shown 3 basic things and then left to our own. As someone who has never touched clay it made it very hard to make something. Even just showing us a basic item from start to finish would have been better so I could leave with something I want to keep. It was still a laugh to see the failed end products and enjoy each other's company.

Andrew Horton Mar 2023


It was a fun activity for a date. Lots of groups were there as well.

Jue Lim Mar 2023


A relaxing and enjoyable experience overall, but was a straightforward class with little guidance needed. If you’re looking for something more novel and challenging, try a wheel throwing workshop instead

Sherilyn Mar 2023


*Venue (3 stars)
Lighting was poor, big area but loads of people so it became squishy.
*Teacher (3 & half stars)
Teachers was helpful but too may students for them to get around.
*material (4 & half stars)
Unlimited clay so you could ask for more whichbis great.
But if i had to be picky coloured clay was limited in colour
*improvements:
Would of like the class to be smaller that way better for the teachers & students & would of like more demonstration on working with clay.

Overall my mum sister & myself enjoyed are selves as a once off class

Helen Page Feb 2023

Teacher was a lovely lady. Venue ideal.
I guess my only complaint was if I wanted to do some Resin art at home I would not know where to start. The teacher showed us two bottles of something which she then mixed with colours, which may have been normal paint but we weren’t told, she then said put dark, then graduate the three shades down. My daughter asked if she could alter this and the teacher’s response was I don’t know if that will work to me someone teaching a class should have some idea of different combinations.
In saying that it was a lovely evening and we did go home with a nice board. Although at least two boards did have a small crack.

Found the cost to be on the expensive side. The class only ran for 45 mins or so. Having more guns and equipment would be good.
The instructor was nice and paid attention to everyone.

Ish Chopra Feb 2023


It was so much fun! Plenty of materials to work out and lots of ideas! Great night out :)

Stelios Ioannides Feb 2023


What i’m going to say to the Clay people bc they asked for a review.

The staff were great, and the actual clay-making was expected, however I can suggest a few things that would’ve made the evening a lot more enjoyable.

Firstly, it’s a ‘Valentine’s Day’ class for partners. The idea of sitting in table groups may be easier to control from the worker standpoint, but it made the evening incredibly less romantic for my partner and I. I couldn’t even hear my partner as the music was so distracting, (i’ll get to that), and we were so cramped next to other couples It was extremely difficult to talk privately without anyone listening.
If there were small tables per couple that would’ve made a huge difference.

Secondly, the music. Valentine’s day is meant to celebrate Love for your partner. Playing old-school RnB was a huge mood killer.
There was one time i recall where ‘L-O-V-E’ (a good start) was played before being swiftly changed for ‘Push it’.
If the music reflected the purpose of the event and were actual love related romantic songs, the evening would’ve felt a lot more special and private.

Thirdly, there were no glazing options so that we would be able to use and drink from out creations. Mugs were one of the main thing advertised to be able to make, so to be told we couldn’t even drink out of them unless we go personally to get them done was disappointing.

Ultimately, it would’ve been great to know before we signed up that we would be seated in table groups, and that there’s no glazing or anything of that sort to be done.

I hope this is taken into consideration for the next Valentine’s day event. Thank you.

Liam Calvert Feb 2023


The Valentine's Day Clay Workshop was a blast. The venue was fantastic and the staff in attendance were wonderful - friendly and helpful.

Willow Liao Feb 2023


Lovely workshop. Great for myself and my grandmother to do together! We bought two mocktails and a grazing box which was all very nice. The grazing box was surprisingly comprehensive and delicious which made it worth the extra cost. The air dry clay can be painted with acrylics which is great. Fun atmosphere and friendly instructors. Thanks!

There wasn’t really any instruction given, or skill taught - we were just given clay and told to sculpt. Guidance was offered if we asked for it, but it wasn’t really the skill building workshop as described.
It was a lovely atmosphere to sit and chat with my friend while we sculpted, but we didn’t really learn anything new.

The class was amazing and we learnt a lot and came out with some awesome cheeseboards!

10/10 would do it again!

The teacher was lovely and helpful and the setting was very cute, but unfortunately the gingerbread house would not stick together at all. It collapsed during the class, and after fixing it up it collapsed again on the way home. We tried putting it together again at home and that didn't work either, so we unfortunately had to throw it out.
It would also be good to get a sturdy box to take the house in next time, as it was very wobbly and the decorative powders went all over our car and clothes (and I imagine it would be even more difficult to take the house back home on public transport).

Jenny Chan Dec 2022

Venue is a large open space with other classes in progress, many other people and music so there Is a bit of background noise going on which gave it a party feel. The vivid interior was decorated with balloons and lights. We were given basic instruction to put together the ginger bread house but it relies on your own DIY creativity for decorating, which is the fun part. What was needed was more working space as it is a bit of a squeeze with everyone on the one table. The grazing box was good.
Wise to take a small, sturdy box to carry your delicate creation home because Ithe trip home was alittle too much for the icing holding my house together. It takes a several hours to completely dry. Luckily, I was given some icing sugar to take home so I was able to put my little house together again. Overall. the ginger bread house is a fun Christmas experience.

Pottery class review by Tiana Mann - Melbourne

Janice Wong Oct 2022


Artea has a nice ambience for a party. But the actual terrarium workshop was underwhelming, disappointing and overpriced for what was supplied. The plants were literally garden scraps - like someone had weeded out the ugliest stems to throw out on green rubbish day. Not fresh and not a single root attached to the plants…looks like the plant will barely survive. The 2-hour class was only a 5-min spiel with limited guidance, after which the instructor disappeared. You’re paying for the Artea ambience. Much more worthwhile to get beautiful plants from Bunnings and DIY. Please save your money and go elsewhere.

Class concept is good and enjoyable, however not great value for money…
Limited instruction, essentially just provided a ball of clay and minimal tools.
Clay is not set and there is no ability to paint the pot in the class either.

Overall disappointing for the price paid. Could have completed this at home and had a very similar experience.

It was good! Cute set up and venue. Although, there’s really not all that much to the sculpt class, wouldn’t say it’s worth $59. Hosts were very awkward and a but judgemental - I think would suit corporate function, but not as much a bachelorette/birthday party etc. highly recommend Champaintery up the road!

Got this as a present for a friends birthday- we had soooo much fun Such a good night and we’re lucky enough to have a table with lovely people.

Adriane Garlito Oct 2022


Venue was awesome, it really gave that warehouse art studio style. The grazing box was so generous and filling too!
Amazing teacher- had a lot of fun with her, she definitely captivated the class and was very instructive and helpful throughout. My partner and I would definitely return again with some friends just to enjoy the drinks and clay!

The teacher & support staff were so friendly and a joy to be around. The platter was amazing and the overall vibe was really fun. My friend and I were sat with others which made the experience even more fun as we got to chat and enjoy the awesome playlist they had going. I would absolutely do this again Next time I will be more prepared with ideas on what I want out of it.

We had fun, but there wasn’t enough guidance. When we arrived not everything we needed had been set out on our tables, and we had to request it. After 10-15 minutes of waiting around the instructor gave a short demonstration and after that there was no further guidance. We did not feel like we learned much, and sat around a lot of the time not knowing what to do. It would have been good to have some examples at the class (when we asked we were provided with a print out showing a few photos but there were no finished products at the class).

There was the option to add soil and a succulent to your pot. However, as the clay needs time to dry the soil sticks to the clay and ruins the look of the pot. I wish we had been told this in advance and given the option of taking the succulent home once the pot had dried.

We had also pre paid for drinks but these weren’t provided, in the end we went up to the bar and requested them.

Teacher's response

Hi Cassandra,

Thanks for providing us with your feedback. Our apologies that the experience wasn't what you expected. We are looking into this feedback and will make sure to address it.

I'm glad to hear you still had a good time!

Thanks, Helen.

Learning how to create a resin cheeseboard was a lot of fun. Helen was a great and attentive teacher. She spent time with each of the five of us in our small group; there were lots of laughter and words of support. The setting was wonderful. I've learned so much and am now confident in my ability to do these on my own. Helen, you are an amazing teacher.

Krishneeta Kashyap Jul 2022


We are from Brisbane and I was searching for something special to do with my 6 year old daughter who absolutely loves creativity. This was amazing, she had such a fabulous time and myself and my friend did too. The teacher Helen was so lovely and friendly as were the other staff, there was plenty of clay and a great bar and small fireplace with couch area to relax and enjoy the cheese platter we had ordered as a side. Thank you!

They use air dry clay so your creation will be set in no time and they give you a box for safe transportation.

Courtney Kirk Jul 2022


Class was ok for team building day. We would have benefited from some explanation and more guidance and interaction from the host (examples of art pieces or photo inspiration!) Atmosphere was a bit lacklustre. No follow up with drinks orders etc.

Teacher's response

Hi Courtney,

Thanks for providing us with your feedback, we care about our customer experiences and will take this on board.

We do provide many examples and have plenty of drinks available for everyone.

We do hope that you book with us in the future!

Thanks, Helen.

Very fun session sculpting clay. The teacher lets you be creative in terms of what you want to make and provides plenty of clay if you run out from the initial lump.

10/10 would do it again.

Katelyn Walker May 2022


Overall we had a great time however we were very confused as there was no direction for the first hour of the class and we were left just to sit there and wait to find out what we were supposed to be doing. I would suggest making an announcement at the very start of the session so people know what they are doing.

Gail May 2022


Attended a Mother's Day high tea. Thoroughly enjoyed the morning. Venue was great. We made clay pots. Only one recommendation for future would be showing the demonstration to the whole group rather than individual tables as it took a while to get to everyone. But loved the morning! Would do again

Pottery class review by Gail  - Melbourne

Blaine Andrews May 2022


Had a really enjoyable Mother's Day high tea. My Mum really enjoyed it. It was a little bit unorganised I felt there were a lot of people there so they did the pottery demonstration at each table. But our table was last so we were just sitting there for some time. Would be good if smaller groups perhaps so they can show everyone the demonstration. Also for the high tea in particular small teapots for each table would be nice or a large machine with hot water as it took a long time to get cups of tea from one or two teapots for everyone to share. The venue was great although quite cold. Other than those recommendations we really did enjoy the morning. Great idea for Mother's Day or a birthday. Would do again.

Gorgeous venue that was super easy to find. Our teacher was friendly and enthusiastic and came around a couple of times to make sure we were doing ok. We had a lot of fun in this workshop. The clay we used was simply DIVINE in texture, smooth and soft, was so easy to work with.
Was a little dissapointed that there wasn't an option to pay extra to get our pots fired, and that there were no instructions provided on how to best help them dry evenly to avoid cracking. Hopefully they survive the drying process and we can lacquer them to seal :)

Amazing Venue as well at Artea art school and party venue! There was even a bar on site! Definitely recommend :)

Lisa Grant May 2022


My 13 year old daughter and I attended the Mothers Day high tea and pottery class. It was excellent. The food was plentiful, yummy and beautifully presented.
There was time at beginning of session for the high tea and then after a while the teachers moved around the tables to give an example of how to proceed with the pottery. 2 hours was a good amount of time.
The tools and products we were using were of good quality and the hosts and teachers were all very friendly and lovely.
Would highly recommend and would definitely participate in other events there.

Jess Nekea May 2022


I bought this voucher for my dad for Fathers Day so while it took a while to finally get there it was definitely worth the wait! We both had a great night! Teachers were friendly, other participants were nice & friendly, making the pots was fun & therapeutic! There’s a fully licensed bar & you can take your own snacks. The feel of the place was great and it was a very relaxed but fun night! I would definitely recommend this experience.

It was a lot of fun, easy enough to follow along and the staff were really helpful and encouraging. Very happy with this class and we will be looking at doing something else in this space again soon. Definitely worth getting the grazing box as well, we ordered one box for 2 ppl and had more than enough for the three of us.

Making the board and coster was really fun and the art is beautiful, but it would be great to get some sort of guide to understand how epoxy works and which dyes to use, and which techniques can be used to create different patterns.

Teacher's response

Hi Raissa,

Thanks for leaving this feedback, I will take this into consideration for my next classes!

Thanks Helen

Kelly McDonald May 2022


The high tea was very unorganised.
They ran out of teacups and had to use expresso ones,was told "oh we didnt think everyone would want to a cup of tea".
The tea station was constantly empty.
Getting a drink at the bar was a mission as well.

No one came and explained the process of pottery to us I think they just assumed everyone knew.

Teacher's response

Hi Kelly,

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. I have taken this into consideration and have made changes to the high tea tickets for the class so that it will be more organised for the next class. We will make sure that there is enough for everyone to go around. Again thank you for the feedback!

This Sip and Paint was a great way for my party of twelve friends (from across Australia) to virtually get together, and the delivered craft kits meant that those in lock-down could still get the supplies needed. The Zoom audio cut in and out slightly in the beginning of the session, but quickly settled down and was clear for the rest of the class.

Helen did an amazing job of breaking down the painting into simple steps, with clear instructions and video demonstrations to help even my most art-phobic friends follow along. For the more experienced artists, she suggested additional details they might use to personalise their paintings.

The final few steps were a bit rushed, as we were running out of time, so I think this class may benefit from having a longer time slot (this would also allow for a little more sipping, which there was not much time for!) Nevertheless, Helen was a warm and welcoming host and created a great atmosphere. All of my friends greatly enjoyed the event (even the complete non-artists), and I would definitely recommend this class!

Our teacher Helen was lovely. I had a group of 20pax adults and we all had a great time.

We have a few issues with delivery due to COVID and Christmas rush however Helen was kind enough to hand deliver some kits which didn't make it to a few peoples doors in Melbourne. She also express post my kit as I was based in Sydney.

My only slight concern and recommendation is that to have the kits sent out a little earlier and also provide tracking as this would have been helpful for me as well as other to track their kits and have them arrive pre class.

Other than that, it was inclusive, fun and easy to follow! Suitable for all ages.

The products were nicely packaged and arrived early (well done with how postage is currently!). I enjoyed painting so much that I continued to add to my art work after the class had finished.
I hope to have the opportunity to do this class again.

Awesome session, had a great time, really friendly bunch of people. Lead expertly by Helen and I didn't even know I could paint. Well worth a couple of hours, and all over remote learning. Have to remember to keep the ice handy for topping up the drinks.

This class was fantastic, took part with my husband and it was a lot of fun. Helen was great and guided me through (I may have had to read start a couple of times!) the clay making process. Superb fun

Helen is a great teacher - the class worked really well over zoom. I hadn’t done pottery since school and loved the final product - actually looks like my wheaten terrier dog.

My friends and I had a blast. Helen is not only a great teacher, but also a lot of fun!

I felt the class tried to fit to much into the time allocated. There was also drawing involved and and to me that was very rushed. If I wanted to keep up and pay attention to learn some painting techniques I couldnt finish the drawing.

This was the first art class I have taken part in. It was excellent very clear guidance by Helen lots of useful tips on mixing colours and shading really enjoyable. Will definitely be back for other classes.

This class was so much fun exactly what was needed during isolation. Our teacher Helen was gorgeous; helpful and chatty and took time to respond to feedback from us as well as offer so many helpful techniques so the class was suitable for all participating. Loved the painting simple and colourful and really had the best evening. Thanks so much Helen and everyone in the class. I haven’t quite finished my painting yet but looking forward to it. I’ve been inspired.
