Pottery Wheel Throwing Course for Beginners
This class was amazing! Amy is a great teacher who accommodates everyone and is very inclusive. I had a great time and am so happy with what I made. I missed a few classes due to illness and Amy was super understanding and generous with her time.

Painting class
This was a great class! What makes it unique compared to other classes, such as painting classes, is you actually create something you're proud to display in your home. The material used is quite 'forgiving' in that it takes a while to dry, so if at first you don't succeed you can easily start over until you get the hand of it, which is great for beginners!

Pottery Class: Clay Play
Do yourself a favour and book in for this class! Such a warm and friendly vibe, with the perfect balance of supportive instruction, combined with the time and freedom to play and create. The eco friendly, quality materials and the setting in a beautiful and peaceful yoga studio were a bonus I really appreciated. Great value class. Five stars all the way!

Draw Zentangle® Art: Lunchtime Tanglers
A great mindfulness activity! Niki showed us two 'tangles'. I loved the tile-inspired one, and am looking forward to mastering the pretzel/heart shaped one.

Learn Zentangle® Art: The Botanical Garden
Another great class! Niki took us through step by step to create two botanical scenes.
I will use the techniques I learned in this class to add more botanical themed drawing to my Zentangle and other creative projects.

Another really enjoyable class! I liked that this was pre-recorded - I was able to go at my own pace and follow along easily.

I've done two of Yvette's classes and both were great! She always makes it a relaxed and positive environment where it is easy to learn and create.

Food and Drink Tasting kit
The chocolate tasting box arrived quickly. I bought it to give as a Christmas present, however, have had a sneak peek in the box and the chocolates look great!

Make Paper Mache Collage Bowls
I really enjoyed this relaxed class! The template provided and the materials that came with the kit were more than required - I have made several more bowls using the supplies! Photo is to show the work in progress, not the finished result :)

Learn Zentangle® Art: Underwater World
Niki's classes are always enjoyable! I particularly liked the theme of this one - it was relaxing to draw an 'under the sea' style tile.

Jewellery Making class
I liked the idea of this class, however, I was a little disappointed I didn't realise it was simply connecting pre-made pieces and drawing on them with markers.

Pottery kit
This craft box was ok for the price, however, my clay trinket dish did not turn out anything like the beautiful ones in the photo! Mine was very thick and chunky, and the edges were rough and uneven. Still a good value kit, and it may be that I just don't have the skills for working with clay, however, it may be worth some practice if you want to achieve something like that pictured.

Painting class
I enjoyed this class, however, if you want to interact with the teacher or other attendees, you may wish to seek a smaller class. This one was much like following a pre-recorded video. I still enjoyed it though!

Jewellery Making kit
I loved this craft box! The instructions were easy to follow and I made some pieces I am proud to wear. What's more, I've been inspired to take this up as an ongoing hobby, and maybe even a side hustle in future!

Draw Zentangle® Christmas Art
I can't recommend this class enough! Niki was friendly, accommodating, down to earth and I enjoyed every minute of her class! I didn't think I could draw but this class has inspired me. I loved the Zentangle concept and will be continuing with it. Thanks Niki for sharing with us!
