  • 5/5 from Leah Chappell, attended Oct 2026: I enjoyed it so much I went back for a second class! Amazing teacher, fun experience that combined fire and pretty, colourful glass - great way to spend an hour doing something different.
  • 5/5 from Jenny Wong, attended Aug 2026: Skye was so lovely! She was so kind to open her home to us and she was a great teacher. We had lots of fun and feel super inspired from it! Great class and great little mementos to take away from it.
  • 5/5 from Tia Kermarec, attended Jul 2026: By far the most fantastic class I have done so far..... interesting and Skye went though the whole process with each of us individually. After we turned the beads into something wearable, with some added beads and semi-precious stones. Absolutely amazing
  • 5/5 from Jessica Miller, attended Jul 2026: This class was so calm and relaxing, and we all made beautiful beads for our jewellery of choice. Skye was a great host and very skilled at what she does!
  • 5/5 from Brenda Johnson, attended Jul 2026: Awesome teacher. Loved putting what you made together to turn it into something beautiful to keep. Would recommend doing this course who loves bead making. Loved the beads melting into orbs to form different colours.
  • 5/5 from Leah Chappell, attended Jul 2026: I had the best time at this class. Skye's home studio was lovely, and Skye was a hands on, friendly and supportive teacher. The process of making the glass beads was super interesting, and I'm seriously considering signing up for a second class to try it again and see if this is something I want to do long term. I would wholeheartedly recommend this class to anyone looking for a chance to try something new for a few hours.
  • 5/5 from Dennise Cooper, attended Jul 2026: Skye was very organised and friendly. She gave us a demonstration and had lots of examples as well as supplemental pieces to enhance our projects. We all needed a little help and had different ideas of what we wanted. Skye was sbl to suggest colours that would work better and show us how to get the desired results. Having our beads made into jewellery there and then was great! A fun class, I’d recommend to anyone!

  • 5/5 from Catherine French, attended Jun 2025: My teacher Skye was very patient and supportive.

  • 5/5 from Amy Vo, attended Apr 2025: Skye was very kind and patient with us. We had such an amazing time!
  • 5/5 from Caroline, attended Sep 2024: A small group of us girls wanted to do a special activity for our dear friends birthday and we had chosen glassblowing bead making. Skye was warm, welcoming and went above and beyond for our small private group. This allowed us to have small introduction to glass bead making on a small scale. Each of us, left with a small piece of jewelry which Skye skillfully made️ Though our own beads weren't perfect they were perfectly unique and made the experience so much more memorable. I highly recommend to either do something different or gift as an experience. Skye is wonderful and accommodating Caroline
  • 5/5 from Su Wu, attended Apr 2024: Skye was an excellent teacher and we all produced lovely beads and pieces of jewellery! Thank you for a great session!
  • 5/5 from Jo Cutler, attended Apr 2024: A really enjoyable and informative class. Skye was very knowledgeable, her demonstration and instructions were precise and therefore, easy to follow. I am more than happy with my bag charm; would definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Yuan He, attended Mar 2024: We went there for my partners Birthday and it was a great experience. We felt very welcome, the class was great fun and our teacher Skye was very friendly and helpful. She made the whole session very fun and informative from start to finish. We both made glass beads phone charms for the first time. Highly recommended!
  • 5/5 from Sandy Nitschke, attended Feb 2024: I loved the great session we had for my friends birthday surprise! Our teacher was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, we felt very proud to make our own beads
  • 5/5 from Cindy Marshal, attended Oct 2023: Skye our glass blowing beads teacher was lovely, helpful, interesting and her work stunning. Loved this workshop immensely and recommend to anyone. A great result
  • 5/5 from Claire Thomas, attended Oct 2023: Fun experience, lovely teacher. Looking forward to another class to try the more skilled options
  • 4/5 from Jenny Simonds, attended Oct 2023: Skye was lovely and very welcoming into her home. She explained the process of glass bead making extremely well and then after choosing the colours of glass we liked, she helped guide each of us in making three of our very own glass beads which was a lot more involved than I thought. After cooling and cleaning the beads we set about threading them on to key charms - which is now proudly hanging on my car keys. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and meeting new friendly people.
  • 5/5 from Genevieve Nolan, attended Sep 2023: Really lovely teacher. Such a great morning and I am really happy with the jewellery I got to take home and the beads I made.
  • 5/5 from Claire Londero, attended Sep 2023: This class was absolutely wonderful. We were guided through the process with lots of help and support, but were given a lot of freedom over the beads we wanted to make. Colour, shape, and style were all up to us, as well as the finished piece we wanted to make the glass beads into. It was a lovely, relaxed environment, and I never felt uncomfortable or out of my depth. My best friend and I booked this experience as a fun activity while I was visiting from Canberra, and we enjoyed it so much, we would definitely do it again next time I visit.

I grew up in pottery town, learning about old techniques of tea bowl maker from my next door. I was fascinated watching it thrown. That was my first step into Tea world.
While I lived in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, I learned about kimono and tea ceremony.
I organised and run guesthouses(small tea house inns) and cafe in Kyoto.
Through this Tea ceremony, you will feel atomosphere changes when you are in meditation state, allow yourself relax and calm.
