Tammy was fantastic, explained everything so clearly and was so helpful. We met some great fellow artists all in all it was a 5 star Saturday event and we made some beautiful art on a large lazy Susan and charcuterie board to remind us of the great day. We will be back thanks.

Made a crystal lamp. It was fun to make. The Tudor was full of information. Going back to do the river board. Need more fans, very hot, other than the heat, well worth the time.

Making the crystal lights was awesome, a good range of designs available and colours in the crystals.

DIY Invasion is a great venue. They run a few classes there and many creative pieces line the walls to inspire you. My sign turned out great! The teacher is informative, supportive and patient. I’ve done a couple of classes there and plan to do many more!

We took a group of Intellectually Disabled adults to make a resin clock and coasters. Our teacher made them feel very comfortable and proud of the masterpieces.
The venue was spacious, and the resin and colours were of good quality.
They are keen to come back to make something else.

This was a fun class. The venue was great, very spacious. The choice of crystals was nice. I loved being able to choose my own piece of wood and crystals to make a unique lamp.

I absolutely loved making my little lamp and Im very happy with how it turned out. The venue was fabulous, a nice little cafe in it and a craft/art shop as well. The teacher was ok, not very engaging, she almost looked angry? and didn’t even introduce herself but otherwise a great class.

Fantastic class. Teacher was great, relaxed, helpful but gave all the space and freedom to use your own creativity. The materials were beautiful the work space was practical and comfortable everything needed was supplied. I took my son for a fun activity to do together and we both left with crystal lamps that we love and thoroughly enjoyed making. Great value for money.
Petra Hatu • Sep 2023
Suitable venue and variety of materials. The work in progress was explained very well. Materials were ready to be worked with. Maybe a friendly welcome greeting to the group while everyone was waiting with the later start wouldn't go astray
Overall I enjoyed the workshop.
Patrick Wright • Sep 2023
Class was great, very cheap considering all the prep work and material cost.
Tammy was a lovey teacher who was happy to share her wealth of experience with resin.
Fantastic way to get in and give resin art a go without all the hassle of learning the details of this nuanced art form.

Well as always it was a fantastic day and class, I loved doing my names, it’s a great venue and the best teacher always willing to help if needed.
Tahlia Firth • Aug 2023
Had a really good time! Ended up being only a private class with my sister and mum. The teacher was lovely! Only advice would be to have more of a colour selection to be able to choose from. Other than that it was a great little morning!

If you enjoy craft activities in a relaxed environment, we'll look no further this is the place for you
The teacher walks you through step by step and is very helpful with choosing crystals and design.
The environment is relaxed with a on site cafe.
You are welcome to upgrade to larger pieces, today I chose to make what comes with the class and am so extremely impressed with my lamp made with rose quartz for my grand daughter
Colleen Noble • Jul 2023
I loved my recently resin river board class. Our teacher was full of knowledge and answered all our questions. It was so much fun I’ll definitely be doing another course soon.
Wendy Noble • Jul 2023
Great knowledge from the teacher with tips about the best products to use what not to do and how to do things was invaluable . Worth every cent of the fee paid and the time went quickly could have a full course to try more things and get more knowledge on the how to’s

I was blown away with this class. I took my husband along with me and we really enjoyed it. Staff were really helpful and creative. The small group setting made it easy to get assistance when needed. The supplies were of the highest quality. I think I will book in with girlfriends next time and make an afternoon of it!
Sandra Pearce • May 2023
Highly recommended for crystal lovers, the teacher guides you through what to do and very helpful if needing support. The atmosphere of the place is quite relaxing and calming. The venue itself is very welcoming with a cafe on site.

I have been wanting to make a river board for such a long time. I had done a few Resin classes previously and I was working myself up to achieving this goal. The teacher at DIY Invasion was amazing. She was so patient and she explained everything slowly and precisely. I really loved the venue and having a cafe attached was a bonus. Now I know that I can do it I've already got an idea of the next one I'd like to complete.
The photo attached is before setting and oil applied.

My sister and I loved this crystal lamp-making class! The teacher was patient and answered all our questions and the venue was spacious and fun. We made beautiful lamps (mine is the one in the picture, which I am so happy with—it looks stunning, both lit and unlit). And it was actually easier to make than I thought it was going to be. My sister and I did each buy a larger block of wood and extra crystals of different kinds, but this was because we wanted to make larger lamps, not because the provided materials were in any way inadequate (the material are high quality and the price for the larger wood/extra crystals is very reasonable). Overall, we had a wonderful time and I highly recommend this crystal lamp-making class. It was a really fun way to spend a couple of hours with a stunning lamp at the end that I can hardly believe I made.

This was a really fun class. The venue is great. I'm really happy with my lamp. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Cathy Matt • Oct 2022
Tamie was excellent. She explained everything really well and answered questions in detail. She explained how we should mix the resin and colours to ensure the best outcome. With so many cool colours and glitter to choose from, I recommend getting an idea of the colours you want before you get there. Google didn't quite get the address right but it wasn't far off and the signage on the building was distinct so you didn't miss it. There is parking on site and there's space on the road if it's full. They have so many different projects you can do there (it's not only resin) and I'm trying to decide what I'll try there next. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed this class . The teacher explained the process very well before we started our own boards.
