- 4/5 from Cameron Tan, attended May 2023: Place was very difficult to find due to address number given incorrect, details also suggested to look for cafe with umbrellas (but it had closed down) and also no signage up at all (45 mins of walking around streets to find) However enjoyed the class -although would of been better in advance to know only one picture to copy and not a choice of which one you as a group maybe prefer
