Reviews for our Retirement workshops in Sydney
Elaine Tsang
Teacher was knowledgeable and able to provide instructions and feedback constructively. It was a fun class and a light dinner was provided which was nice. Lost count of the number of coffees I was able to make so even though there was only one machine for the 8 of us we still got ample opportunities to practice!
Fanny Surot
I had such a great time with this kokedama workshop. Alison was a great teacher. The plants you get to choose from are so nice. And the activity itself is really fun and relaxing. Nothing but positive things to say about it, I would definitely recommend it and Abloom to anyone! Thanks again Alison for this great moment.
Narelle Mallia
Great, lots of fun and will be back for another lamp. Great day out with the girls
Jie Cong
Ramen Noodle Making & Tonkotsu Soup
Great experience. The teacher is very nice and professional. The handout is very useful. The noodle making experience was fun and unique. The soup is super delicious and many kinds of toppings. Beyond expectations and will be back for another class.
Le Wilson
Ikebana Flower Arranging Class
Setsuko is amazing , so patient and works magic making the beautiful flowers come to life. Great selection of flowers and Under Setsuko guidance the arrangements became something to be proud of
Yumi Yong
Andy is super nice and friendly, offering not only kind explanations of coffee’s history and changes of all different styles but also dinner! I would definitely love to take another course of his. I had a bunch of questions and he answered really nicely until the end. Thank you for being such a nice teacher, mentor, trainer for me.
Yasodai Selvakumaran
We had Katie as a teacher and she was very passionate and knowledgeable and personalised the class for us. We had previously completed a basic class many years ago and have been using a home barista machine for 7 years now.
Katie picked up from what we knew and gave us more information on coffee types, equipment and latte art styles. She helped with our technique and modelled each style. We had plenty of opportunities to practise. Fun, enjoyable way to improve our barista technique as enthusiastic home baristas!
Kristy Davies
Modern Calligraphy Deconstructed
I really loved this class! Icy was super friendly and supportive. She checked on our progress regularly and made sure we felt welcome and well supported. She provided exceptional equipment and the class was well structured, allowing us direction to continue our learning individually after the lesson. I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson! Thank you!
Mandy Hu
Andy is so charming and professional. He gave great advice and guided everyone to make improvement. We learned basic skills, how to make heart, tulip and rosetta with commercial coffee machine. He also did demonstration on another level.
Highly recommend, will definitely attend for the further course.
Maggie Lu
Ikebana Flower Arranging Class
It was a great experience learning the ikebana with Setsuko! She was friendly and most importantly the flowers arranged by her were so pretty, elegant and calming.
The class was conducted in her flower shop, so we were surrounded by flowers and plants.
I think it’s a great way to relax and learn some Japanese ikebana skills :)
Lee Corbett
Ikebana Flower Arranging Class
Could not fault anything. Setsuko was very knowlegable and a very warm teacher. Most certainly recommend the class. Thank you Setsuko.
Tarryn Carter
Make Your Own Fragrance / Perfume Workshop
Joseph was a great teacher. Explained everything that was needed to be able to kick start an individual scent.
Really enjoyed using his skill and experience!
Can’t wait for his chocolate class!
Great afternoon.
Mustafa Cencik
Make Your Own Fragrance / Perfume Workshop
Very helpful teacher! Gives great feedback and helps you enough to make sure you’re satisfied with what you make!
Madeleine Baxendale
Ikebana Flower Arranging Class
We booked this class for our cousin's birthday. Setsuko was a lovely teacher, the studio was very welcoming and had a lovely vibe and the lesson was lots of fun! Setsuko was very good at explaining each arrangement and we took our time creating our floral masterpieces. It was a lovely morning and we would definitely recommend this class.
Robin McLean
Pamela was an excellent teacher - informative and helpful. I enjoyed the class and look forward to more.
Nidhi Gera
Modern Calligraphy Deconstructed
It was a super fun session. Icy is an amazing mentor and a artist. She was very patient in clearing all the doubts. Highly recommend for people who wants to try their hands on modern calligraphy and don't know where to start.
