4/5 from Kirstie Anders, attended Oct 2026: The hat burning class was certainly fun and nice to take something different home.
4/5 from Cassandra Sandilands, attended Oct 2026: Loved the experience. Instructions clear. Would suggest material marking pens in varying colours ie black, white be provided for the stencilling portion of the hats. Relaxing.
5/5 from Roslyn Miller, attended Sep 2026: The class was so lovely run and a nice space to come together.

It was really relaxed and the instructor was so helpful across the session.
5/5 from Jason Clark, attended Sep 2026: Fantastic class, was a lot of fun! Wesley was great, very informative and there was no pressure, only to have fun with it, which we did.. highly recommended (and both Jason and I apologise for leaving our empty cups there, we meant to take them oops!)

5/5 from Eden Johnston, attended May 2026: They are so cute! Teacher was great, he was running multiple different classes at once but the activity was relatively independent so we didn’t really need him much and he check in regularly. Honestly they turned out way nicer than I thought and the class was lots of fun. Perfect present and way to spend time creatively with others. I would do it it again
5/5 from Rosalie, attended May 2026: Easy to do, just a safety and instruction chat and then you can do what you want. Plenty of options of stencils or you can use your own design. Also a good variety of hats and colours.

5/5 from Annelisse Marshall, attended Apr 2026: The class was really relaxing and the teacher was really good and the class that I did with my mum was hat burning and she was very proud of our hats designs
4/5 from Kate Reese, attended Apr 2026: Great fun because of the people in our group :D Basically on our own figuring it out as we went… once you got used to it it wasn’t so scary, but I reckon I almost put some holes in my sun hat Would do again if there was a bit more in the design guidelines or suggestions? Happy with the outcome though & thé happy birthday gift bag was absolutely incredible. So generous, so kind & thé postcards are fab! Thank you.
3/5 from Suzanne Hill, attended Apr 2026: I loved the experience of something quite different. I think it would help if there was a block to rest the hat on while trying to trace the patterns on to the top part of the hat.Well explained first up. Suzanne
5/5 from Lesley Merriman, attended Mar 2026: The class was soo much fun! Great clear instructions, then left to our own devices but they were always there if we needed help. Nice and relaxed and we were not rushed. Would highly recommend for a fun new experience to do with friends
5/5 from Brenna Symonds, attended Mar 2026: Very fun and relaxing activity, they had lots of stencils to choose from if you didn't know what you wanted to create. Surprisingly easy and love the results. The teacher was very welcoming and helpful. Great class, very affordable, would recommend to everyone.
5/5 from Barbara McIntosh, attended Feb 2026: Very informative, and helpful. We really enjoyed the class and our end product. Thank you
5/5 from Brandon Whitney, attended Jan 2026: Really enjoyed it and I like that there wasn’t forced interaction or babysitting and the teacher was always available if you needed them. The sunflower design is great and showcased well- a few alternative designs in person could help others who need a more guided approach or to visually “see” the finished product in person.
1/5 from Munday Farrell, attended Jan 2026: It’s a great concept, but unfortunately this class didn’t live up to the standard I’ve experienced with other ClassBento workshops. The location required paid parking on top of the class fee, which was disappointing. The instructor provided very little guidance — we received a brief three-minute introduction and were then told to “look on Pinterest for inspiration.” There was no practice material provided, and we were advised to practise directly on the hat “where no one would see it.” After that, we barely saw the instructor again as he was busy running two other classes in the same studio. The quality of the hats was poor with very limited sizing available. Hats were also offered for purchase at $65, yet still had an $8 Kmart tag attached, which felt inappropriate given the price. Overall, the class has potential but definitely needs significant improvement in organisation, instruction, and materials.
5/5 from Melanie Favaro, attended Dec 2025: We had a great time designing and burning our hats. The teacher's clear instructions and relaxed manner gave us confidence and put us at ease from the start. What we liked the most was learning a method that was totally new to us, and walking away with our beautiful new hats. Buying the gift card online was quick and straightforward. A great gift idea for any occasion.
5/5 from Ivana Ivana, attended Dec 2025: My husband & me had sooo much fun! ❤️ Highly recommend the Hat burning class
5/5 from Emma Bond, attended Dec 2025: Hat burning was fun!
5/5 from Cheryl Dowell, attended Dec 2025: We did this as a team Christmas party and It was awesome (first time ever we were all quite)
4/5 from Ola Andrade, attended Dec 2025: Easy to understand
5/5 from Billie Bauer, attended Nov 2025: Had a solo visit. First time hat burning and it was so much fun! Great to just let your creativity fly. Teacher was lovely and helpful.
5/5 from Leanne Warden, attended Nov 2025: I really enjoyed the hat burning class. After a safety discussion, the process was explained well, and then I was left to let my creativity flow. I liked the small class size and the teacher was there if I needed him. Highly recommended!
4/5 from Susan Berry, attended Nov 2025: We enjoyed this class. We did think there might have been stencils, not sure if this would be possible.
5/5 from Kim Marks, attended Oct 2025: Quick tutorial and then left to create. Loved it
5/5 from Natalia Wysocka, attended Oct 2025: Loved the class
3/5 from Sharlene Pavey, attended Oct 2025: Disappointed that the teacher was running other classes at the same time. We saw him three times in total. One quick demonstration and we were on our own!
5/5 from Suzy Scott, attended Sep 2025: What a fun class! Highly recommend for a fun girls night out.
5/5 from Pamela Perry, attended Aug 2025: We did the hat burning class, we loved it, the teacher was very good with us, we love the hats, they fit well and look lovely Lovely atmosphere
4/5 from Christel Hendriks, attended Aug 2025: It was just myself and a friend in the class and it was lovely and informal. The BYO aspect was great, and the fact that there were so many classes at the same time for different activities gave a great vibe. I recommend having some ideas for hat burning, and printing some stencils before you go, because you have to freehand.
I'm a Brisbane-based artist, and I've been painting and drawing since my early childhood days. I was fortunate to receive a scholarship from the Queensland Art Gallery, which gave me ample opportunity to pursue my passion and hone my skills.I'm very much inspired by the beauty and diversity of Australia. Many of my paintings focus on landscapes, surrealism, animals, and people. North Queensland is a particular favorite, and you'll see the influence of coral seas and mountain landscapes throughout my artwork. I have a post-impressionist style through which I try to capture the wonder of the world around us.I specialize in pastel on card and acrylic on canvas, though I'm also experimenting with abstract and airbrush.I've been fortunate enough to display my work in many art exhibitions and have been the recipient of many prizes and awards.I offer Paint and Sip sessions along with Clay and Sip sessions, both at discounted rates for ClassBento Patrons. I believe in bringing these experiences to the customer at the very best competitive price possible, the real Australian Way. We have the largest range of paintings available with over 80 paintings on the gallery page of Wesley Taylor Art Studios, with the painting for each week found on the web page.We hope you enjoy these sessions for a fun experience. The paintings are creative for maximum impact of colors, while keeping in mind first-time painting experiences. Those with a little more practice will create some amazing pieces.Let us plan your special events!“Everyone has an artistic flair and simply needs to be pointed in the right direction."The Wesley Taylor Art Studios Mission initially set out to create workshops at half the cost of other workshops for customers to be able to enjoy the experience of creating a piece of artwork. This endeavor was to create the foundation of employing artists with a like-minded sense of assisting customers to enjoy this time out while creating new art experiences. The goals of value for money for customers and employment for artists to run these fun activities that may mark a milestone, a birthday, a hen's party, a social activity, a first date, or company team-building events to build and strengthen relationships with a common bond of creating something new. Each dandelion in the field represents a thousand possibilities waiting to be released into the wind. Just relax and be free with the wind.
