Not to mention theThis was our first cooking class together and we had a blast. Not only was the setting beautiful and inviting, but the class was really engaging and everything was explained clearly. Not to mention the gnocchi at the end was heavenly! Wonderful hosts and you felt like you were at a dinner party with friends. We can’t wait to make our own at home and this experience has inspired us to try more classes in the future. It would be a lovely gift for someone too. + more

We had the best time I'm so glad I chose this class! The instructor went at our pace and the process was so interesting to learn. My mum especially loved it she was so relaxed. The concept and the space are well thought out. We got to take home the cutest final products they looked good enough to eat! + more

Our teacher was incredibly sweet, patient, and helpful throughout the session. She paid close attention to what we wanted and guided us step by step in creating our terrariums. She explained the whole process clearly and also shared useful aftercare tips to help us maintain them. There were so many adorable miniature decorations to choose from, and she happily let us decorate our terrariums however we liked. We ended up filling ours with lots of cute miniatures! They also kindly offered us coffee at no extra charge, which made the experience feel even more warm and welcoming. We enjoyed the entire experience so much, and it was even more special getting to take our beautiful terrariums home as a keepsake. It was such a fun and memorable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a creative and meaningful activity. + more

My daughter (8 years old) really enjoyed the class, especially choosing a design and painting. The one bit she found a little difficult was preparing the outline of the painting using the gold paint so if you are thinking of doing this class with a little one, be prepared to help with this part. Many thanks to Rashmi and her team for excellent service - including answering questions when I called ahead of the class, and also for kindly including some materials for my daughter to unleash some more creativity at home. There were several other art classes happening at the same time which I am keen to try out in future as well! + more

I like the fact that the class was confined to 4 students only. That allowed Hannah to follow where we were up to and to offer help when required. I've done intro classes to wheel throwing twice beforeI like the fact that the class was confined to 4 students only. That allowed Hannah to follow where we were up to and to offer help when required. I've done intro classes to wheel throwing twice before this class and because the classes were big (~10 people), you weren't able to get the same level of help as in Hannah's class. Having her take us step by step also helped us remember what needed to be done. Hannah's an amazing teacher. I would totally recommend her classes for parties or if you want to gift an experience + more

Take a look at our tempting selection of artist-hosted Melbourne experiences and you’ll be able to check every person off your gift list.
