This was my first venture into mosaics and I really liked it. I enjoyed not having to cut my own tiles as this made it a lot easier. I had enough tile pieces to make my piece with some spares. I had plenty of glue as well. I love the patterns I chose.

I adored this workshop. I learnt so much and had a great time. It was a very good group number so we all got plenty of individual support. I was able to choose my own design which was great. I can’t wait to make some more mosaic pieces.

This was a fun class. The venue was great, very spacious. The choice of crystals was nice. I loved being able to choose my own piece of wood and crystals to make a unique lamp.

I was unable to attend due to illness but I have attended Vanilla Zulu classes before. They are very well run and the menu is great. I love the venue as it is great to be able to have a drink while creating fabulous meals.

This is an amazing class. Liz is a thoroughly knowledgeable teacher who is patient and explains things well. I was apprehensive to start as I wasn’t sure about my colour choices, but I love the finished product.
Great venue and a good sized class.

Wow. This is one of my favourite classes ever. Three fabulously different books that I made myself. Isabelle is a great teacher, the class went at a good pace but there was flexibility for people to catch up. The materials provided were great. I will definitely be doing more of these classes.

I was so nervous before this class and although I love all arts and crafts, watercolour has always scared me. Pamela immediately made me feel comfortable and continued to support all of us during the class. I am very happy with the new skills I have learned.

Wow! This class was great, Caroline did another amazing job. Paint Pouring on such a small scale seemed daunting at first but it was fun mixing and matching my colours to create some unique designs. I will be making more of these for gifts.

Ciao, I’m mi chiamo Melissa.

What a great class. It was paced perfectly and was easy to follow along. I changed the sauce recipe
as I don’t like butter and sage but the Gnocchi itself was delicious.

Thanks Marina for a great dinner.

This class was great.

Nat talked us through everything and then it was time to create. She gave feedback to everyone and supported us through the whole class.

I want to do more.

The photo is an example of Nat’s work. So professional.

This class has had to be rescheduled due to COVID lockdown in Brisbane. Vanilla Zulu were great to deal with and had plenty of other dates to choose from.

This was yet another amazing Class Bento event. I have left the class confident that I can recreate
a yummy Sour Dough loaf myself. Leah was awesome and so patient. She had a group of mainly novices but we all did a great job. She provided us with individual attention and tips. With Brisbane heading into another snap lockdown I will have time to bake and also start on a new culture that I can call my own.
I highly recommend this class as I didn’t realise you could do so much with the dough.

This was an awesome introduction course, I was able to consolidate what I already knew and learn some new stitches. The small group size was perfect and the venue was great. I can't wait for the next course.
