This class was fantastic. Mel is a great teacher and assisted us all the way through the intermediate soap making course. No question was ever a hassle for her and she made us feel very comfortable with the entire process. The venue at CWA Petrie was lovely and easy to find. Will definitely be taking another class soon.

Mel was so great, she was extremely accommodating and even willing to do classes with my 5 and 8yo. Today I was even able to take my new born along so I didn't have to miss out on a day with my mum.
The venue was beautiful
Mel has such a massive range of supplies for everyone to use and goes through every step/instruction thoroughly.
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience, we will definitely be back to experience different classes.

Introduction to Jewellery Making Class
Friendly welcoming atmosphere. I felt the instrument could have been more detailed/specific. Class time needs to be longer and what is advertised needs to be reflected in the class.
Teacher was warm which I appreciated.
Reply from this teacher:
Hi April,
Thank you for your feedback…I will use it to help improve what I offer to clients in the future.
The Jewellery classes are indeed quite intricate and time consuming. These projects are also quite hard to explain in written documents.
I’ve taken note about the comments re: the time frame for the class. I was willing to keep going longer on the day but I understand if you had subsequent commitments that were already planned.
I will aim to put a note on other bookings saying that the time required for the class can be shorter or longer than advertised based on many factors.
I’ve dropped you a couple of messages to rebook another session (no charge of course) to finish the project off so let me know when you are free.
