I got gifted this experience as a birthday gift and I really enjoyed it. The teacher was super nice and helpful, and answered all my questions without a problem. It was a good experience and I wish I could've stayed to make the wagon wheels

We had a native theme floral bouquet arrangement class with Liza Rose. Liza was the most bubbly inviting teacher that took us through thoroughly step by step to make our bouquet look professional. The venue was spacious to work around with and the materials and colours were awesome I had learned to gift wrap my arrangement in a special way that i had never even thought to use the idea that Liza used.

Great choice for a birthday gift experience to enjoy together, as both the birthday girl and I as the giver loved it!

Highly recommended Cheryl F (March 2024)

Catherine Hammersley




My daughter’s 16th birthday present and I wanted an experience gift that was great value and fun she loved it and was a great opportunity to broaden her art experience in this way as schools aren’t offering this platform.

Our teacher Maya was so lovely and welcoming, it felt like we already knew her. The studio in her home was warm and cosy and gave us a safe place to be creative.

I wanted to attend this class so I can gift my friends scented candles by Christmas. This class didn't disappoint. It is really beginner friendly. Loved that we used upcycled tin cans for this! You'll learn the right way of mixing and pouring the melted wax and how much to put in. Teacher was lovely as well and gave us handy tips on how to stick your wicks. The scents were just amazing and I wish  + more

Katrina Lee




Went to this cooking class with my Dad as a birthday present . We had a fantastic day with Jacqui in her beautiful home kitchen in Sorrento. Class was very interactive and informative, in a fun relaxed setting. Intimate group size and the social aspect of learning and dining with others adds positively to the experience. Food was divine - wish I could have taken more of the rhubarb brûlée home!  + more

Got the gift making class funnily enough as a gift for my partner's bday. We both had so much fun and learned a lot from Ron who is a fantastic teacher! We made copper bracelets for each other and came out with a piece we will treasure for years. Bonus points for Rocky the greyhound, the sweetest workshop dog around.

Metalwork class review by Hannah Luna - Melbourne


Simone




I was surprised by my partner as a birthday gift and I totally enjoyed the experience. The hand pottery class was fun, simple and I’ve loved every part of it. The teacher was giving nice clues to help us to create our own piece and we had enough time to finish them. I particularly liked the fact that we could do multiple pieces for the same price. I would recommend this class to anyone who want  + more

Fluid Art class review by Elly Murphy - Melbourne


Kristy Watts




Eddie was marvellous, a very patient teacher, instructions were simple and the atmosphere relaxed. Plenty of clay available for all our mistakes, and the equipment was in terrific order.
