The Christmas wreath making class at Eco Soul Collective in Belgrave was fantastic. I have not done anything like this before and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The staff are extremely friendly and assist when needed. I highly recommend this for a friends night out as I did or even a work Christmas celebration.
I look forward to do another workshop.

We had a fabulous time! Courtney was a super host, very informative and helpful with ideas. The Christmas music in the background playing was
A hit too.

Jess was very sweet and welcoming. When we pulled up curbside we were concerned we were in the incorrect place but she greeted us with a smile and made us feel very welcome. There were a variety of supplies available and I was happy to see I could be my gothy/witchy self with the flowers provided. As always I want for more time but I am frequently the last to leave in a class like this. I would certainly recommend this for friends and family to do together.

I have not done something like this before, and it was great. The hosts were so personable, and it was so much fun. The products were explained in detail on the ingredients as well as alternatives to suit all needs and tastes. I would highly recommend. Thank you for a great night spent in a lovely environment with lovely people.

Katrina is the most beautiful calming soul. She provided such a beautiful experience from the meditation, to the intention setting, the crystal selection and then intuitively creating our very own macrame piece! The support she provided us and the space she held for us was incredible.
I have left feeling so whole and I love the macrame piece with the crystal intertwined.
She also had some beautiful herbal tea for us. Everything has been thought out so carefully by Katrina and it made for an incredible creative experience definitely going to be attending again

From the second I walked in, I was greeted and offered a wine or tea off to a perfect start!
The venue was amazing and full of beautiful materials to choose from. As soon as I sat down, I saw the pink assortment and was in heaven!
I loved the atmosphere and that it was so relaxing, everyone in the class was really nice.
I would recommend doing this wonderful class with such a wonderful teacher.
I left with a piece I was so happy with great night thank you J

What a delightful crafty experience! We were gently guided through the technique and ‘how to’ whist given the freedom to create our own style. I was totally immersed in the creative space being surrounded by an array of beautiful dried flowers and materials. Each participant created a Christmas Wreath that was unique and personal. Not one the same yet all stunningly beautiful. Being a complete novice I was made comfortable and encouraged to experiment. The experience was amazing and I am delighted with what I have to take home.

The most fun adult Christmas activity I’ve ever done
I want to now do all the classes available and make all the fried flower arrangements
Claire Barnier • Nov 2022
We had a blast at Jessica’s workshop and would definitely do it again.
The shop is very cute and well set out and stocks all sorts of goodies from local small business, plus there’s plenty of parking nearby.
The workshop setup was beautifully presented and we had a huge variety of materials to decorate our wreaths with - including a variety of native plants. Jess was always on hand to offer advice, tips, and encouragement, and everyone went home with a beautifully decorated wreath to treasure forever.
I’m a dried flower wreath convert and will definitely be making more of these!
Phoebe Lynch • Nov 2022
My friend and I had a great time making our Dried Flower Christmas wreaths this afternoon with our lovely host and teacher Jess. She gave us great instructions and had a huge range of flowers and ideas, the glass of bubbles was fun but I was too engrossed making my wreath to drink it all. I love my wreath in my laundry to brighten up the room where I spend too much time.
Tamara Woolrych • Nov 2022
I had such a good time at this workshop, it was the first time I’ve done anything like this and it was so fun. Plenty of guidance throughout and lots of flowers to pick from.
Looking forward to the next one!

Loved this class! It was so nice to get out of the house and do something different! I also loved taking home the pieces that we did. Definitely recommend ☺️

The dishwasher tablet making workshop was great! Learnt a lot about the benefits of making your own low tox products. Alison was a super friendly and knowledgeable instructor who made the class fun and 'hands-on'. The shop where the class was held is beautiful and has lots of interesting products to browse before or after the class.
Most importantly the dishwasher tablets work and smell amazing and so easy to make Can't wait to attend another class.
Jodie Pearce • Aug 2022
Wow. What a wonderful, informative workshop. I learnt so much about low tox, and how to start making small changes in my home. Alison was a wonderful teacher with a bright smile. The workshop was very well priced for the knowledge that was shared.
The space was a feast for the eyes, so calming and inviting. Would highly recommend.
