  • 5/5 from Rebecca Wehr, attended Dec 2024: Casual, easy-going and easy to understand. My little creature was absolutley adorable. Thank you so much for a great class.
  • 5/5 from Sandy James, attended Nov 2024: Just WOW! I attended the 'Make Your Own Wire and Bead Critter Workshop'. It was a tough decision to choose which critter, they are all amazing and I decided on the frill neck lizard. Our teachers were fabulous, taking the time to guide us through the process and ensure everyone felt comfortable. The selection of materials was extensive, allowing for plenty of creativity. I had an amazing time and left with a beautiful, unique critter that I will treasure. These hold a candle and mosquito coil, however I have decided to display my daily affirmation card and will switch between the candle with a crystal. Possibilities are endless! I highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun amd engaging crafting experience. I look forward to attending more classes in future and thank you for reigniting my passion for crafting that I had long ago left behind

  • 5/5 from Camille Mulder, attended Oct 2024: Really well paced great teaching skills which helps a lot. The bead selection was fantastic and there was sooo much choice. We chose the critter the wire colour the beads we used and it was all easily mapped out. The teacher was friendly and two facilitators meant lots of help and chatting. It was very well hosted. The venue is beautiful very ambient and i learnt how to get soft wire really tight in joints which made it easier. Most of all i love that the critters were all original and held mosquito coils which will go well for my next bbq. I loved to look at all the different choices everyone made and they all looked fantastic at the end. I wasnt sure if i could do it before we started but the teaching techniques were spot on so it was easy to follow and do. They even supplied a drink and a packet of chips! I wasnt expecting that. They went above and beyond. It was well worth it.
