Sue Samphier
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

Anan was a fantastic teacher for our dumplings cooking class. His instructions and demonstrations were clear and the class was so much fun! We feel confident to make dumplings at home with the recipes provided. The Otao cooking venue was clean, spacious and provided everything that was required. We can't wait to bring the whole family for our next class! Fantastic gift idea.

Terrarium Construction and Design Class
Super cosy class! Instructor set us up with everything we needed to know about terrariums and was happy to give out any additional info, she even gave us contact info in case we had any questions outside of the class! The materials she made sure to use were super accessible while also including springtails (which are less easy to obtain) and a variety of plants to chose to use when building our terrariums. + more
