We was also amazed by the shelves of many different moulds, glasses, and scents to choose from! Was also really kind and thoughtful of her to add an extra free gift, as it was my birthday Thank youu Sonia + more

We had such a wonderful experience with Susan! This was a private oyster platter workshop that my brother, sister and I booked as a birthday gift for our mum, and it couldn't have been more perfect. SusanWe had such a wonderful experience with Susan! This was a private oyster platter workshop that my brother, sister and I booked as a birthday gift for our mum, and it couldn't have been more perfect. Susan was incredibly warm, patient and encouraging throughout the whole class. She made us all feel so comfortable, guided us every step of the way, and was always happy to help bring our ideas to life. It was such a relaxed, enjoyable few hours, with plenty of laughs along the way. We're absolutely thrilled with our finished oyster platters and can't believe what we were able to create. They turned out even better than we imagined and will be something we'll treasure for years to come. Thank you, Susan, for making Mum's birthday so special and creating such a memorable experience for our family. We would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a creative, fun and genuinely special experience! + more

I absolutely enjoyed the round paddle board and 4 coaster resin workshop. It was a really fun experience and the 2 teachers were great. I got it as a gift from my daughter and we both had a great time. Thank you

Great course, Puja was great fun and very patient! Certainly recommend it to anyone with an interest in Indian cooking, whether it's for yourself or aa a gift.

Had such a delightful time at this perfume making workshop. So many lovely scents. I did this as a birthday gift with a friend and absolutely loved it. Great customer service and the bottles are so cute! Would highly recommend

We were a little worried beforehand because we’re not drinking at the moment and thought we might miss out on half the experience. Instead, we were able to join in by making some delicious mocktails. The dumpling making was so much fun. We learnt heaps of tips and tricks, from simple folding techniques through to more advanced styles. The instructor explained everything so clearly that it was easy to follow along. I also loved that we made far more dumplings than I expected! Once we’d finished, they cooked them three different ways (steamed, pan-fried and deep-fried) so we got to taste the different textures and flavours. There were so many that we couldn’t even finish them all! The host was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and great at breaking everything down into simple, easy to understand steps. I’d absolutely recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun date night. + more

Teacher went above and beyond to see we had a great time. Cannot recommend enough if you're thinking of attending. Great value for money - purchased as a birthday gift experience for two and was an amazing gift that we will get to enjoy for many years now. Cosy studio space was warm and comfy (and it was raining and freezing on the day). Genuinely surprised by how well the mosaic lamps turned out. You are making it and thinking 'i'm not sure how good this looks'. Finally, once you've grouted and cleaned and wiped and its dry, you get to see and enjoy the end result of your hard work; an amazing looking lamp that just blows you away. 10/10 class. Give it a go you won't be disapppointed. Thanks for the experience Artistic Vibes, we love our lamps!! + more

Best birthday presents for men who love DIY
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. You might like to challenge stereotypes by signing up the special man in your life for a perfume making workshop in the Melbourne CBD (who says men don’t love having their own signature scent?) It’s the ultimate mindful, relaxing workshop after work or a fun date night idea, where they can unwind the day away surrounded by pleasing, fragrant scents. For the man who loves getting creative with paint, try a resin art or acrylic pouring class in Richmond. Help them express their inner artist and experiment with different colours to create their own unique design.
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! Whether you’re searching for birthday experiences for him or birthday gifts for women, there’s an art, craft or foodie workshop for everyone in your life.
