I absolutely enjoyed the round paddle board and 4 coaster resin workshop. It was a really fun experience and the 2 teachers were great. I got it as a gift from my daughter and we both had a great time. Thank you

We were a little worried beforehand because we’re not drinking at the moment and thought we might miss out on half the experience. Instead, we were able to join in by making some delicious mocktails. The dumpling making was so much fun. We learnt heaps of tips and tricks, from simple folding techniques through to more advanced styles. The instructor explained everything so clearly that it was easy to follow along. I also loved that we made far more dumplings than I expected! Once we’d finished, they cooked them three different ways (steamed, pan-fried and deep-fried) so we got to taste the different textures and flavours. There were so many that we couldn’t even finish them all! The host was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and great at breaking everything down into simple, easy to understand steps. I’d absolutely recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun date night. + more

Mark was super easy to organise with, and even accommodatedI booked this class to celebrate an anniversary with my boyfriend and we loved our experience. We did the ‘Birds in the Tree’ class. Mark was super easy to organise with, and even accommodated for my anniversary idea of having a larger custom tree to share with my partner rather than two individual trees. Simi and Aybike were lovely and made the whole experience super memorable. They demonstrate first, and then you are hands-on and give it a go yourself. They were very encouraging and never hesitated to jump in and help when we were stuck. It does feel a bit daunting at first, and I wouldn’t expect your first bird to be perfect, but that is what made it so much fun! Each bird is unique and we got to choose the colours and patterns for them. They explained that the tree base is made from glass scraps from their studio, and the wooden base is sourced from the wood shop downstairs. It was super cool to know! We left the experience with big smiles on our faces, and a beautiful tree to take home. I definitely made a few birds I was really proud of, and my boyfriend loved his experience gift. I’d definitely recommend this for couples, friends or even singles looking to be crafty or learn a new skill. This is a wonderful and supportive environment to learn in. We will definitely be back for another workshop (hopefully some glass fruit and veg?). + more

I've visited the Convent hundreds of times over the years, but had no idea that Big Bite Studios was tucked away behind one of the beautiful old buildings. Soe was incredibly welcoming and made thoughtful accommodations for my son, who is a very busy and curious six-year-old. She took the time to show us the kiln and explain how it worked, which he absolutely loved. Every step of the pottery process was demonstrated so clearly and visually, and Soe was so patient and flexible—even happily changing direction several times when my son decided to create something completely different halfway through! The studio itself is beautiful, filled with handmade pottery, stunning watercolour paintings and thoughtfully curated gifts. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm looking for a special, unique gift for someone. Overall, we had an amazing few hours at Big Bite Studios. It was such a warm, creative and welcoming experience, and I've already recommended the workshops to several friends. We can't wait to come back! + more
