Victoria was lovely and fortunate to have one on one time with her. She also booked and arranged for supplies and happily guided me to what would work best to begin with. Really enjoyed the session.

My friend and I made beautiful rings under the direction of Victoria. She was a great teacher and lots of fun to be with. Thanks Victoria! I am inspired to try more metalwork.

Kate Milne • Nov 2020

Had the most lovely afternoon with the extremely talented Victoria! She was so charismatic, funny and kind, and extremely supportive! Went through things clearly both verbally and with examples and was generous with her knowledge throughout. The venue was lovely, nice and open air, although would probably only recommend for 2-3 people. The materials were high quality and she clearly knew what she was talking about. Couldn’t recommend this enough!

Andrea Elliott • Nov 2020

Victoria was great & very knowledgeable about all things regarding different waxes etc - everything was provided & we got to take home two lovely candles, would recommend her class

Natural Wax Candle Making DIY Workshop

the teacher was very warm and welcoming and I loved her bubbly personality that was very motivating and fun. the setting was also very homy and comfortable and tiara was a real treat. thanks for the wonderful experience Victoria !

Emily Gulli • Sep 2020

I loved this class! Victoria was an exceptional entertainer and clearly knew all the ins and outs of candle making. We learned how to make the candles of course but the really useful things we learnt were what not to do when trying it out at home. The experience was fab, bonus points for meeting Tiara, the workshop pug.

Alice Huang • Sep 2020

Beginner's Silversmithing Workshop

I really enjoyed this class. Victoria is a great teacher, she tailored her lessons to what I wanted to learn and my skill level. I wanted to learn how to make a ring properly, and we did exactly that. I love the ring that I made I've put a progress photo below.

The class was in Victoria's house / workshop. She has all her equipment there which meant that we could a wide range of styles.

Natural Wax Candle Making DIY Workshop

Teacher was very patient with me at learning knotting and skilful at sorting out my mistakes and encouraging.

Justine Crowley • Sep 2020

I loved this experience with Victoria. Victoria is so down to earth, caring, and friendly. Although I did drop the meat thermometer in the lovely hot wax once - by accident; Victoria remained cool, calm and collected. Overall we had a great time, and built great rapport. The fragrances used are extensive, yet so fun to sniff out. Victoria is so knowledgeable when it comes to all aspects of candle making; as well as helping me apply the practical side. I believe I am now confident when it comes to the steps on making quality soy blends, and where to source the goods. Time with Victoria flew quickly, and I am looking forward to collecting my three candles next week. I made two 275 gram candles, and one 315 gram candle off hand. A great hobby turned business opportunity doing something I enjoy. Victoria is just wonderful. Highly recommend, thank you so much.

Emily Ross • Sep 2020

Leather Handcraft DIY Wallet Course

My daughter (8 Years old) and I did the mala class together one Saturday. She loved being able to pick her colours, beads, tasseletc. It was pretty straightforward, only took us 1.5 hours and we created pieces we both loved. I don't think I'd pay $300 again but was a special day and my daughter was very happy with the end result. The teacher was great.

Henry Segerius • Feb 2020

Excellent teacher. Time just flew. Made great progress on my leather project. Very pleased so far.

Victoria was an amazing teacher who added her own twist to the whole process of making a ring. She let us share her passion and sent everyone home with a smile and amazingly some bling that deserved to be worn!

Keith Todd • Nov 2019

Victoria is a very good teacher. She communicates well I learned quite a bit about making a basic ring and I participated in the making of the ring. For me it was a positive and rewarding experience. I also made an awesome birthday present for my partner

Lea Dawson • Nov 2019

Friendly teacher, warm welcome. Bit hard to find.
Happy with what I made.will recommded

Jasmine Reid • Nov 2019

The teacher was very lovely and patient, she offered a warm and comfortable environment. I am happy with how my mala turned out.

I gather she was not as well-prepared for this class, as I did not receive the workbook.
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.

This was just my experience.

William Tang • Nov 2019

Victoria was an energetic and fantastic teacher for the ringmaking course. We were very happy with the result of our rings and how we were taught during the process of making them. It was very insightful and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Helen Brookes • Nov 2019

The teacher is a real artist and it was very special to spend time with her in a learning situation to learn some of the basics of silversmithing a simple ring.

I really enjoyed my mala workshop with Victoria, Victoria had lots of knowledge and was very friendly and vibrant

Jackson Alsop • Sep 2019

What an amazing class! My girlfriend and I had a great time. Very friendly teacher who made us feel right at home!

Venta Richter • Sep 2019

Victoria has many creative talents which she fortunately shares with her students, her amazing designer Malas are on display for inspiration.

The class was small just the 3 of us which allowed for sufficient one on one tuition when needed.

For the Mala making class Victoria welcomed us with herbal teas and presented an excellent selection of colourful beads, threads, tassels and accent silver pieces.

We all left the class with our own unique personal completed Mala - which was fantastic and I now look forward to making more as gifts. I would definitely do the class again or Victoria’s advanced knotted beading class.

Lina Lee • Sep 2019

Great atmosphere, friendly teacher (with the most adorable assistant) who had a lot of knowledge and patience. Had a wonderful time, thank you!

Tony Yip • Sep 2019

Fantastic workshop and I do really enjoy it. Would like to advance my skills and learn more about rain making.

Carolyn Birchill • Sep 2019

My 12 year old son and I just loved Victoria’s class. We learnt so much in a day and to come away with a silver ring each that we crafted ourselves is fantastic. Every step of the way Victoria guided us while giving us the freedom to be creative, get familiar with all the tools and enjoy the day. Highly recommend for anyone. My son gave the day a 10 out of 10 and he is a hard critic

All materials were provided and we had lots of options to choose from. It was a lovely experience with something to take home and remind me of my time in Sydney. I would definitely recommend that you take part in one of Victoria's many workshops!

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!

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.

Cailee Clark • Jul 2019

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 recommend this class to anyone!

Monika Iwanow • Jul 2019

Amazing experience! Beautiful, professional and funny teacher. I’m really happy with the outcome! Thanks

Seen Lee • Jul 2019

Victoria was so lovely, encouraging and helpful. 2 hours class became 4.5 hour cus we’re too slow. Gonna come back for other classes next time!

Angela Chang • Jul 2019

A great afternoon spent with an excellent and passionate teacher. Would recommend this class all round.

Kim Stevens • Jul 2019

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.

Victoria • Jun 2019

Jewellery class

Victoria was very bubbly and keen to share her knowledge and made sure you left with a finished piece

Evan James • Jun 2019

This class was so much fun! It was a really personal experience, and I learnt so much. Victoria is lovely, and she really took the time to make sure I came out with a piece of jewellery I will cherish forever. I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to give this a go.

Ericka Paredes • Jun 2019

I loved my class with Victoria. She patiently explained step by step the techniques to use throughout the process of making the coin purse!

Beau Ford • Jun 2019

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!

Donna McLeod • Jun 2019

Loved this class. Victoria is so patient and generous with her time and knowledge and helped me make a stunning Mala

Kaliopy Arvanitakis • May 2019

Learning and having fun. Loved this class. Victoria is very patient and had a good range of beads to choose from. Thankyou

Kat Ting • Apr 2019

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!

Filiberto Pavan • Mar 2019

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!

Kanaka Bhandary • Mar 2019

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.

Maree Hill • Mar 2019

Thanks Victoria for sharing your extensive jewellery knowledge and experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the class, learnt a lot and have a beautiful aquamarine ring to enjoy. Thanks again Victoria

Debbie Johnson • Mar 2019

Wow what an amazing course and amazing teacher. So much to choose from. Amazing experience I would recommend this course and teacher. Loved it.

Amanda Ying • Feb 2019

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

Mala Webber • Feb 2019

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.
