Health benefits of paper crafts

When you sit down to work on any paper craft and ink hobby, what you’ll find is that you can easily enter into a flow state, which is like a mini meditation. Instead of thinking about any stress and responsibilities of the day, you’ll focus only on the paper in front of you. It’s a wonderful way to practice mindfulness through crafting. At the end of class you’ll have a finished product that you can be proud of. When you incorporate paper craft and ink hobbies into your daily routine, you’ll experience an overall boost in focus and creativity.

Collage Workshop: an Afternoon of Cut and Paste



Instructors were fantastic and such amazing artists too. The examples and ideas were inspiring and the books/magazines and materials were brilliant; such a variety.
What a great space.
I could have done with a little more light for the finer cutting but I think that’s just my old eyes ;)
I think a slightly smaller class would have been good - just for a little extra space.

Collage Workshop: an Afternoon of Cut and Paste



The workshop had a great balance of mini-teaching about the history of collage and collage artists, together with making 3 collage artworks. Each took half an hour or an hour, with guidance provided by enthusiastic and knowledgeable teachers. We were supplied with 3 A4 papers and scissors to use. I got into the flow so the time went fast,

Wow this was such a fun and educational event!!! It exceeded all of my expectations. Vanessa is an incredible teacher who is extremely passionate about what she does. The location was in a beautiful little room at the back of a lovely cafe. They offered complimentary tea and coffee in the beginning of the event. Vanessa works with the group but also goes around and makes sure everyone is on track. she teaches you little tricks to master your brush lettering skills and every single person walked out of that room with beautiful written calligraphy!! I have already recommended this class to many of my friends and I will certainly be coming back for another class again. Thank you Vanessa!!!!

A really calming and fun class! I got a beautiful non-plastic straw gift to use (love!) and some other goodies. Really liked the snacks provided and the lychee tea! This is my first time learning brush lettering and I really enjoyed it. I hope to keep practising and get better!

I enjoyed the calligraphy class very much. Icy made the whole calligraphy session fun, exciting and very relaxing. Icy also spent time with us individually. The class was also set up in a great location.
Everyone in the class were first time beginners, and we all came with a common goal to learn.
Icy provided us with all the materials we needed to begin our calligraphy journey, and the resources to further our calligraphy skills.
I highly recommend this class. Icy deconstructed calligraphy so well, as we all left knowing how to reconstruct calligraphy.
Icy, THANK YOU for the support and encouragement to get me to do my own calligraphy for my wedding.

This was my first experience with Class Bento and with brush lettering. At first I was a bit unsure about going but I’m so glad I did.

Vanessa was a wonderful teacher and made everyone feel welcomed and relaxed. She demonstrated each skill and then spent considerable time assisting every student. I appreciate that she’s also quite environmentally conscious and she donated the profits of this workshop to helping wildlife affected by the bushfires.

We first learnt about creating a lovely range of colours with our water colour palette. Then we learnt to create strokes which we later combined to form letters and words.

All the materials were provided for and we got to take home our brushes, palettes, watercolours and worksheets so that we have everything to continue practising our new skills at home.

The class is held in an airy, bright and air conditioned private room behind a cafe. Not familiar with the area I found it hard to park so perhaps leave extra time to park if you’re driving there.

Thanks for the lovely class, gift and snacks Vanessa! Hope to attend another one of your classes in future.

The workshop was lovely, as the teacher! Vanessa has a lot of dedication into the detail and gives you tips very helpful about how to improve in the case you want to keep doing it. Don't hesitate to ask her any doubt, she will answer you so kindly and very concern that you'll get the proper answer.
I highly recommend the workshop, it gives you the basics to start doing brush lettering and is a goo way to be mindful for a few hours and focus in what you are doing.

I had the best time learning a new skill in brush lettering. Vanessa our teacher was super helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. We learnt basic techniques in brush lettering and for someone like me who does not feel they have any confidence in their creative side this was a lot of fun! Vanessa really took the time to help. Hosted in a studio room adjoining a cafe the environment was super relaxed. The starter gifts Vanessa also sent us home with were a thoughtful touch and will definitely help with keeping up the practice! Highly recommended!!

Vanessa is a talented teacher, she covered everything from the very basics one step at a time.
The final result came easily and it was quite impressing considering I haven't handled a brush since primary school!
I think Vanessa could probably teach elefants to fly, if only they wanted to!

The brush lettering workshop with Vitamin Sea was an absolutely delight!! Vanessa was so thoughtful with all the beautiful materials and great quality tools we used. She was really patient with all the students, no matter what level we were. The venue was also pretty and Vanessa’s decoration, snacks and ambiance in the room made the morning one of a kind!

The venue of this class is great, such a nice space. Icy is a lovely teacher. She started by explaining the various tools and then taught us the basic strokes of calligraphy, followed by the alphabet. She was very patient and went around the class throughout the time, giving us advice and tips. Icy was extremely thoughtful and the materials provided, as well as the items we could take home with us (personalised tote bag, ink bottle, practice material, etc) were all very well thought out. I left feeling like I could confidently practice and develop my skills at home.
