Brighid Power
Elke was so knowledgeable and helpful. She started the class with a good introduction and provided guidance with every next step. It was really exciting getting to learn about individual scents and how they come together to make perfumes. We enjoyed being able to smell everything and being able to create our own personalised perfumes. It was such a beautiful present idea and we loved the champagne + more

Paint and Sip: Glow UV Light Paint Party
This was a present from Santa for my 8 year old daughter. Might sound strange taking an 8 year old to a paint and sip, but the glow paint was a thrill for her. Teacher was fantastic and very knowledgeable and encouraging.
Jane McKelliff
Cupcake Decorating Class for Beginners
What a great day! We purchased this as a birthday present for our 16-year-old daughter (to do with Mum and Dad) and what a brilliant gift! Janeen was such a great teacher! Her passion shone through and loved her use of humor to really relax us during the session. We really appreciated the way Janeen talked us through and allowed practice time but also shared with us tips and tricks to make life easier + more

Loved this experience so so much. Had lots of fun and love my very own eco system, can’t wait to see it grow. This was a birthday present for myself from my boyfriend, and I hope to come back again.

Paint Your Fluid Art Bear Workshop
I purchased a gift voucher for my niece for Christmas for a Niece and Auntie day together. Everything was smooth, from booking to getting to the venue, the teacher was very helpful and guided us when needed some inspiration to find the colours we wanted to paint our bears. The teacher was so kind and sweet thoughout and at the end of session explained what was next and asked if we wanted to paint + more

Wheel Throwing Class for Beginners
Really enjoyed the class, was a Christmas present from my husband it’s something I always wanted to do. Very good value for money and teacher was great. It’s not as easy as it looks. I’d definitely do it again. Thanks
Alex Mansfield
Glass Blowing Class for Beginners: Taster
Steve and I were given this class as a gift from our son. It was fabulous to experience something completely different, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Mark was very knowledgeable and definitely made glass blowing look easy! We came away with the pieces we made and they will be a lovely memento of a fun afternoon. Thoroughly recommended!
Andrew Marks
Burrata Master Cheese Making Class
Very fun experience. It was a present for my wife for her birthday. We had a great time and walked away with yummy cheese. Cant wait to try it again at home. The buratta was fun to make. Our teacher was very good and helpful.
Lauren Garlick
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
Georgia Alikaris
This was a surprise gift for myself and my two besties from my husband. The location is easy find, with lots of parking and close to the train station, great explanation from the teacher and quite easy to learn. I wish there was a greater variety of neutral tone yarn but the variety of bright colours is awesome. The girls and I had so much fun and our designs turned out awesome. It's best to pick + more
Rebeka Ryding
When I opened the box, I was happy to see the quality of materials provided is excellent. The kit includes everything you need to get started right away, no rummaging for tape or pencils, literally everything is here. The silk had been cut to the right size and even the frame had been taped up ready for me, I was pleasantly surprised by the care that had gone into creating the kits. Speaking of which, + more
Davina Nowland
Elizabeth is a genuine, lovely person with a strong interest and skills in creative arts. She guided us through traditional Easter egg dying from her cultural background experience and has perfected a simple yet effective way to teach and succeed at the outcome within the time frame of the class. It offered a chance to be relaxed amidst our busy life! The Forager’s Nest is a beautiful studio + more
Sharon Cottle
It was a gift from my family. My teacher was very good she answered all my questions and went out of the way to show me more. I learnt some new tips and tricks which will be helpful in my sewing.
Paul Peterson
Watercolour Painting Class: Impressionist Style
"The best birthday gift I've ever had!" said my girlfriend after Tony's painting class. We were both absolute beginners and Tony patiently taught us the basics in a fun, educational, and hands-on way. He is both an expert and a natural motivator and his sunny artist studio was just a relaxing space to be inspired. I have no doubt he has lots to offer experienced painters, but if you're a beginner look + 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!
Melissa Cowley
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.
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
Alanna Gomes
I gave this pizza class to my partner as his bday present and we love it. We did the dough, next step we did our own pizza was an amazing experience. The group was also nice and we share our experiences with other couples that attended the class. Looking forward to invite some friends over for pizza night
Ryan Munyard
We came to Not Yet Perfect on a Christmas Present Gift card for my Daughter. Tess was wonderful! She explained the process really clearly and then was present to assist but not take over It was a really fun morning and definitely a little addictive!
Priscilla Khang
Bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband. Best experience ever, so fun and interactive, good size class and have nothing but great things to say. Greta value for money and will be recommending this to all my friends and family. I’ll be keeping an eye out for more classes in the future!
