• 5/5 from Anna-Marie Stassen, attended Feb 2025: Great class with lovely lil which we attended for my husband's birthday. Kokedama are really beautiful and we learnt how to make a large kokedama and a small one. Lil was patient with us and explained things very clearly. The old auction House venue was great with plenty of space and a gallery and handmade gifts shop we browsed before the workshop started. So many talented artisans are showcased! I'd definitely recommend this workshop to enjoy with a friend, it's great fun and plenty of laughs.
• 5/5 from Katy Thomas, attended Feb 2025: Such a great class! Highly recommend!!
• 5/5 from Peg Fallon, attended Sep 2024: Attended the Kokedama workshop. Lil was a great teacher! Very clear in her instruction, attentive to each individual, extremely patient, relaxed and fun. Good choice of plants. It was harder then I thought! As the the ball became heavier, my hands become quite sore. The venue was comfortable, apart from getting a sore back on the stool but standing helped. Considering the time and effort it was probably value for money. I loved the end result and happy going home with my 2 Kokedamas! Thank you Lil.

• 5/5 from Jane McPherson, attended Sep 2024: Had a wonderful time. The session went quicker than we realized. Lilian was really helpful, and the group was small so she was able to provide us with lots of personal assistance. I really enjoyed learning how to decorate the plants and there was plenty of resources. Excellent value for money. That's for a great session.
• 5/5 from Gail Price, attended May 2024: It would appear teaching a group of people how to perform the art of Kokedama successfully requires great patience with a solid knowledge base Lil provided all this and more in her class at the Old Auction House in Macedon Ranges with full provision of supplies and loads of confidence building skills making us all feel like champions of the art by the end of session.

We got to make 2 kokedamas each, 1 small, 1 medium which was very generous of Lil. This class gave me more appreciation for what Lil does and I am envious of her skill.
