- 5/5 from Melissa Murray, attended Jun 2026: We had such a wonderful experience with Susan! This was a private oyster platter workshop that my brother, sister and I booked as a birthday gift for our mum, and it couldn't have been more perfect. Susan was incredibly warm, patient and encouraging throughout the whole class. She made us all feel so comfortable, guided us every step of the way, and was always happy to help bring our ideas to life. It was such a relaxed, enjoyable few hours, with plenty of laughs along the way. We're absolutely thrilled with our finished oyster platters and can't believe what we were able to create. They turned out even better than we imagined and will be something we'll treasure for years to come. Thank you, Susan, for making Mum's birthday so special and creating such a memorable experience for our family. We would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a creative, fun and genuinely special experience!
