  • 5/5 from Emily King, attended May 2022: Amazing class and lovely teacher! I loved making clay planters and was very happy with the result. The materials were easy to work with and great quality. 100% recommend this workshop!
  • 5/5 from Jodie Amico, attended May 2022: Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon. The process wasn’t what I expected - the anticipation was followed by amazement, wondering how the different techniques would turn out. There were more than enough art supplies and tools- enough for me to make several more pieces in my own time. I would also like to acknowledge the excellent quality of all products supplied! The plants arrived healthy and the selection was stunning. Our teacher was great! She had excellent knowledge of the process and guided us through the endless possibilities! She gave us suggestions for keeping happy plants. The class size (3) worked really well. The conversations, laughs and creations made a wonderful afternoon. (I’m still working on my final touches-I’ll be sure to send a photo.
  • 5/5 from Barbara Turner, attended Mar 2022: Thanks Gina! Really enjoyed creating and decorating the clay planters with you. And now looking forward to making some more and implementing a few more of the decorative techniques you suggested.
  • 5/5 from Fiona Shaw, attended Oct 2021: Had great fun doing this class. Everyone nice and learnt 2 different techniques to do. Teacher very patient kept checking everyone at stages allowing us to have a break etc if wanted. Explained to us the different plants used in our planters how to care for them and watering etc. Also some great tips and ideas for other things to do with polymers clay. I had taken little longer softening kneading polymers clay with hands but was pretty pleased turned out fantastic. Also told how to make earrings jewellery etc and baking times and explained process how polymers should be after baking. I have made coasters as well as had plenty left over to do other things. Thankyou everyone I felt welcome even though not experienced with camera as such turning on so most of class I watched them doing theirs comparing mine trying to make same. Cannot praise teacher enough as I was one hour early for class and didn't rush through cos difference in time zones lol.. Learnt about Sydney from other people in class which was quite fascinating also as I never been there. Thanks for fantastic class
  • 5/5 from Joanna Paxinos, attended Oct 2021: Gina was an excellent host. She was very thorough and explained everything. She was a wealth of knowledge. A great Saturday afternoon activity! I'm thinking next time a group of girls at my house to do this - with Gina as the host!

  • 5/5 from Anonymized Customer, attended Sep 2021: I found the class very interesting and enjoyable, and have learnt a new hobby. The act of moulding the clay by hand is very therapeutic. I really liked the fact that the instructor gave us other ideas that we could use the clay for, and even included glitter and earring findings in the kit. I also like the fact that you can bake what you make in your own oven. The instructions were clear and precise and you could go at your own pace.
