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

This was a present from my adult Children as I love my Pasta. Marina and Matilda were fantastic teachers, they taught us how to make and cook Tagliatelle and Ricotta Ravioli. I will now make fresh pasta for my children when they come over for Dinner. We loved it.

This was a gift for my husband and I for our wedding. Our teacher was impressive- Daniel Wilson executive chef from Yakimono in Melbourne. The venue was intimate and appropriate for the small class size. We could see everything easily. Recipes were provided as well as each individual dish that was cooked. The food was delicious, Daniel was informative- we learnt a lot. We had a great time and would + more

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

Received this class as a birthday gift and it was the best gift ever! Had so much fun creating something useful. Can't wait to use my cheeseboard.
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

Tufting Class for Beginners: Make a Tufted Rug
I gave the tufting class experience as a gift for my best friend and it was such great fun All the materials were included, the instructors were very helpful and the rugs turn out so fin! 100% would recommend! The class is great value for money because you get your own personal rug for a fraction for a decent price!

This was a gift for my Dad. We both enjoyed the workshop, following instructions, and learning in a practical, hands on way. We have both been able to take what we learnt at this workshop and apply it to make more Kokedamas at home. Our Kokedamas (that we made at the workshop) are still going strong a month later.
