• 5/5 from Abi Mullen, attended May 2026: This class was amazing and super fun! Irina was fabulous at guiding us through our sculpting (and helping us when we couldn’t quite figure it out!) it was a very fun birthday gift for a friend, but I imagine it would also be a very valuable experience for a more seasoned sculptor. Thanks Irina!
• 5/5 from David Hirsch, attended Apr 2026: We had a fabulous time in our class. Our teacher was lovely and explained/demonstrated in just the right way. We are both very impressed with our little sculptures.
• 5/5 from Cheryl Kesteven, attended Apr 2026: Irina is a highly skilled artist and excellent teacher who is passionate about sharing her knowledge. Although I had never worked with clay before, I actually left with a sculpture that I love - and it even resembles my sculpting mate! We enjoyed our workshop and I'm keen to continue working with clay. I've done many crafty workshops and rarely leave with a think I want to keep. I can highly recommend Irina's workshops, and will definitely book in for more when I'm next in Sydney.
• 5/5 from Andrea Nguyen, attended Mar 2026: Irina was an amazing clay teacher! She was friendly, funny and patient. We went to this sculpture making class for a friend’s hen and it was so much fun!

• 5/5 from Kee-Win Fam, attended Mar 2026: We had such a great time making a sculpture of each other. Irina is a really good teacher and takes the time to show you techniques as well as guide you towards making something that you actually want to continue on after the class. Best to book a small group as the time for one-on-one teaching was invaluable.

• 1/5 from Chai Yuting, attended Nov 2025: very bad ，the instructor was extremely impatient and unprofessional. I left feeling very disappointed, and the whole experience was a complete waste of money.

• 5/5 from Katarina Kosic, attended Aug 2025: I joined this workshop with my partner and we loved every moment of it! We made our mugs with Irina before and we knew we want to come back for more classes. Sculpting each other out of clay had us laughing the whole time, but with Irina’s teaching and guidance we actually surprised ourselves with how good our sculptures turned out. It is the perfect mix of fun and learning, super relaxed, creative, and something totally different for us. Such a great way to spend time together and walk away with something we are both really proud of. I would recommand this class to everyone!
• 5/5 from Fion Yau, attended Aug 2025: Very fun and highly recommend sculpturing your partner instead of the picture as it's easier to work off a 3D model.
• 5/5 from Diane Sargeant, attended Aug 2025: My first time doing any kind of sculptural work and it was really great, very interesting to observe things from a very different perspective than normal. And heaps of laughs too, lots of fun. Fabulous teacher, lovely studio and 2 gorgeous cats

• 5/5 from Jess and Lauren, attended May 2025: The class was fantastic and the teacher really knew her stuff! There were also 2 adorable kitties who kept checking in on us. I was genuinely surprised that I was able to make something recognisable as my friend since I have very limited skills in sculpting even play dough. Would highly recomend.
• 5/5 from Elaine Shen, attended Apr 2025: We had fun time in the workshop. The teacher was patient, explaining human bone structure and giving hands-on instructions. To be honest, as a beginner had no sculpturing experience, I found it was challenging to make human head in 2.5hrs. But the teacher helped me during the process. And I'm pretty happy with the end result.
