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.

Wheel Throwing Class: Clay Soirée
My husband, son and I, thoroughly enjoyed our wheel throwing workshop Sunday the 10/3. Considering it was a 39deg day, the room was set up with fans, iced water to keep us cool. Very thoughtful! Examples/instructions given by teachers were clear and easy to follow, loved everything about this workshop. The best birthday present I ever received. Thank you!
Genevieve Cowie
We had great fun at this class, got a good few handy chef tips and made a delicious meal. Tracy and June were lovely and we learnt a lot. We’ll certainly be making scrumptious gnocchi at home - especially now we understand the joys of a potato ricer and the importance of hot potatoes! The cooking class was a Christmas gift to my husband and we had a great night out together - a gift that gives t + more
Hannah Belonio
Attended the solid perfume making workshop as a gift to a friend and we loved it. It was so fun learning about how perfumes are made and building our own scents! Especially love how they save our scent and we have the choice of recreating it with other forms like candles and perfume (spray version). We definitely would go back again. The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable and provided clear + more

Fantastic learning the art of clay throwing by Amber. Went with mum for a Xmas present and we laughed a lot. Can’t wait to see what our pieces come out like and keen to try it again in future. Definitely good for beginners
Richard Bernard Crewe
Blacksmithing Class for Beginners
This was a Christmas present that my daughter bought me and in return I got her a voucher to. The venue is small, but it was also a small class so no problems. Our teacher Ron gave us our safety gear and talk. As it was only a beginner's class, we did not expect too much, but we made an "S" hook with a twist out of 10mm straight bar. Ron's helping hands and knowledge guided us. Both of us really enjoyed + more

We attended Merryl's mosaic class as a family Christmas gift activity - 11 people over three generations and each person was able to choose a design they liked and work at their own level and pace. Even a safe, non-glass option for a toddler. The staff were informative and helpful and served us well and kindly! We were all delighted with the end products and some mentioned they would love to do the + more

Tumema Elise
I bought this as a gift for my husband's birthday as we LOVE dumplings and the class did not disappoint! Dylan was such a great teacher, taking us through each step with clear and concise instructions. I was initially anxious as I do not cook often but Dylan created a calm environment for us to learn. We loved that there were different proteins we could choose from, all equipment required was supplied + more
Katrina Lee
Went to this cooking class with my Dad as a birthday present . We had a fantastic day with Jacqui in her beautiful home kitchen in Sorrento. Class was very interactive and informative, in a fun relaxed setting. Intimate group size and the social aspect of learning and dining with others adds positively to the experience. Food was divine - wish I could have taken more of the rhubarb brûlée home! + more

Hannah Luna
Got the gift making class funnily enough as a gift for my partner's bday. We both had so much fun and learned a lot from Ron who is a fantastic teacher! We made copper bracelets for each other and came out with a piece we will treasure for years. Bonus points for Rocky the greyhound, the sweetest workshop dog around.

We have a wide range of DIY workshops that would make the perfect birthday presents for men who love to roll up their sleeves, get their hands dirty and tap into their inner creativity.

For the man who loves getting creative with paint, try a resin art or acrylic pouring class in Richmond.

Our DIY workshops also help them learn something new or explore a craft they’ve always wanted to try. As they get stuck into creating, it helps them slow down and focus on the present, freeing them up to just relax and connect with their loved ones. Our classes are beginner-friendly, which means that anyone can join in on the fun!
