Make a Ring in a Day DIY Workshop
This was a fun activity to do with my teen. We learnt ring measurement, stamping, shaping, buffing and filing. We watched Victoria annealing and soldering our rings. We learnt a lot about the ring making process and had a lot of fun. We took home some gorgeous silver rings. Thanks Victoria!

Make a Ring in a Day DIY Workshop
This was the most wonderful Class Bento experience I’ve had. Victoria is a talented artist who gives you the right amount of guidance and hands-on experience. Special shout out to Tiara, the pug who also made this just such an enjoyable experience.
The ring that I walked away from the class with, is stunning and I can’t wait to tell people about how it was made. Thank you, Victoria.

I had a great morning with Victoria who showed me the steps in making a simple leather card holder.

I look forward to going again for something more challenging.

The teacher was very knowledgeable, had every tool imaginable, was well set up, and was happy to answer all of my questions and go with the flow on the day. For anyone who's been wanting to start learning how to make their own jewellery for a long time, this is the perfect place to start and it's not an intimidating class/workspace at all.

It says on the website, *9kt gold is included as part of the course. 14k or 18k is available but will have to be purchased,But once I arrived I was told gold would cost me extra.This is false advertising & feel taken advantage of I won’t be wearing my ring as it is a reminder.I paid $420 for a ring I could buy for $120.I will be complaining to class bento.

And just now after looking at other feedback with photos of their malas, it appears some extras others had on their malas were not available to me.
My session only went for 2 hours, perhaps because I was the only one in the class, but for quite an expensive class of $150 I didn't feel I quite got my money's worth.

Make a Ring in a Day DIY Workshop
Victoria was an amazing teacher for my 11 year old boy, who came to her class for the day. She was patient, full of knowledge and made the experience a great one. Highly recommended her class for anyone who has a keen interest in jewelry making. We will absolutely be booking in another class again. Thank you Victoria!

Makeup Brush / Tool Holder and Make Up Bag Course
My daughter and I loved this class. Victoria was kind and friendly and a really great teacher.
The space was warm and welcoming and Victoria had a great choice of materials and all the tools required to finish our project. Can’t wait to go back.

Make a Ring in a Day DIY Workshop
The class was so fun and we learned so much! Class size was small so we’d had a lot of personal instruction. Instructor was knowledgeable, welcoming and fun! She gave us tea and played fun music and even used two different techniques to accommodate for the desires of the other two taking the workshop. We learned both a traditional silver shaping method as well as a metal clay method. Would recommendThe class was so fun and we learned so much!

Make and Design Your Own Gemstone Mala Workshop
Victoria and her assistant were fantastic with our boys (ages 9,11yrs) she had them completely engaged the whole time with detailed information and activities. They loved cracking the geode rocks and they loved making the silver necklaces and learning about different types of rocks and how they are formed. We hope to have Victoria back again.

I spent a great day with Victoria making a stunning ring - she explained everything extremely thoroughly. We got on very well, she made me a delicious lunch and as the finishing touches to my piece were quite tricky, she personally delivered it to my hotel the next day. If are interested in jewellery/specifically ring making - this is a really lovely place to start your journey!

Make a Leather Coin Purse
I made a coin bag and earphone holder. Really enjoyed the class. Victoria is very friendly and funny. She gave us a lot of insights and useful tips to leather product making. Good selection of tools and leather to use for projects. She ensured that tools are used safely and gave plenty of help so that her students have a finished product to show off at the end . For more complicated projects, best to book earlier so that the teacher has time to prepare patterns ahead of time. Thanks for the wonderful experience Victoria!

Make a Ring in a Day DIY Workshop
I really loved the class. Victoria is a lovely teacher, she's very thorough and can really transmit her passion for ring making to the student. The class is in her living room with kitchenette, which makes it really cozy.
You will learn all of the steps of making a ring, perform some of the activities (Sawing, Annealing, bending the silver etc) and for the majority of the tasks you will rely on Victoria's expert hands to get to your very own hand-crafted silver ring. Recommended!

Make and Design Your Own Gemstone Mala Workshop
My teacher Victoria was super cool and experienced. She had all the beads and a great range to choose from. I had so much fun learning how to make my own Mala beads. She even spend extra time to teach me how to make beaded bracelet . So definitely worth the money. I am going back to learn more.

This class with Victoria was the perfect hands on learning experience on the key skills for stone setting. Victoria is very knowledgeable and a master at her work and I feel lucky to have been able to learn from her. Not to mention the gorgeous ring made as a result of this class

Make and Design Your Own Gemstone Mala Workshop
Victoria is a wonderful teacher. She has some beautiful pieces and very experienced. It was nice to learn how to put together a Mala with her.
I enjoyed using the Chakra cards to help me determine which crystals I could use, and as you can see from the pic, you have no idea what the finished product will look like once you start working with different crystals which makes it more fun.
