This was my first woodturning class and what a buzz. My dad was a carpenter and had all the equipment and tools to make furniture but I was never interested in learning but I’m 50 now and my creative juices are flowing. Alma is an amazing teacher and guide she helped me make a candle holder and I feel like I have accomplished something dad would be proud of. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to do something different as this is a dying trade. Thankyou alma I had an amazing experience. Gratefully stephen + more

I've visited the Convent hundreds of times over the years, but had no idea that Big Bite Studios was tucked away behind one of the beautiful old buildings. Soe was incredibly welcoming and made thoughtful accommodations for my son, who is a very busy and curious six-year-old. She took the time to show us the kiln and explain how it worked, which he absolutely loved. Every step of the pottery process was demonstrated so clearly and visually, and Soe was so patient and flexible—even happily changing direction several times when my son decided to create something completely different halfway through! The studio itself is beautiful, filled with handmade pottery, stunning watercolour paintings and thoughtfully curated gifts. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm looking for a special, unique gift for someone. Overall, we had an amazing few hours at Big Bite Studios. It was such a warm, creative and welcoming experience, and I've already recommended the workshops to several friends. We can't wait to come back! + more

The teacher was fantastic – friendly, funny and made the class very enjoyable. One of the highlights was making the dressing from scratch and learning how all the flavours came together. The food was delicious, and I didn’t expect to enjoy the experience as much as I did. it was a wonderful gift and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something different. + more

I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to make sourdough with Monika Makes!

I was impressed to discover that I was one of her first students, because the class was so well-structured and thoughtfully organised, without ever feeling overly regimented. Monika has a real gift for teaching, breaking down each step clearly while leaving room for questions and experimentation. By the end, I felt genuinely confident about baking sourdough on my own. Highly recommended for anyone curious about getting started! + more
