This was a really good introductory class. I’ve never done printmaking before and now I’m really excited to learn more about it!

Print Making class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Feb 2023



This class was fun, and the teacher knew what she was doing; but there was a lot of waiting time, and no advance warning that our pieces might not dry in time to take home (and being a 90 minute drive each way I didn’t really want to leave my fabric behind). I think the class would be even better if there was an information pamphlet we were given with the basic instructions and materials for doing the activity at home

Marbling on Fabric Class: Traditional Turkish Ebru review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Feb 2023



This class was great. Tina was really knowledgeable and friendly. It would have been better if we’d known in advance that the pigments would get darker when mixed with the melted cocoa butter and wax, but I’m still pretty pleased with my lipstick. The chocolate is delicious

Baking and Desserts class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

This class was so fun! Ainslie knows her stuff! I made a gorgeous scent and can’t wait to learn more from her

Signature Perfume Making Class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Dec 2022



This was so much fun! I was a little sad about the limited Christmas themed options though (raspberries, chocolate, lemon, and sherbet don’t really say “christmas” to me); having said that, my macarons are delicious and I love them

Christmas Macaron Baking Class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Nov 2022



Wow Sarah is a GREAT teacher, and the learning group was so much fun. I managed to make a set of matching earrings, ring, and pendant! I’m stoked.

Jenie is a wonderful person to spend a few hours with. She’s really passionate about sharing her craft. I love alcohol inks, largely because of how she has taught me :)

Alcohol Ink Class for Beginners: Medium Sized Board review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Oct 2022



This was a really fun and enjoyable class. I liked that in the kit my plate was broken in a different way to my friend’s, so we had completely different outcomes :)

Pottery class review by Emma Morris

Oct 2022



Jenie was so relaxed and happy, this class was a pleasure. I’m really excited to come back and do more artwork with her :)

Alcohol Ink Class for Beginners review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Oct 2022



This is my second time attending this class, this time I brought along my dad and fiancé, and my brother came to watch. It was a great family activity

Glassblowing and Mosaic class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Oct 2022



I really enjoyed the creative freedom of this class, and the high tea and antipasto add-ons were a big hit!

Preserved and Dried Flower Glass Dome Workshop review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Sep 2022



Wow was this fun! Not something I’ll be buying equipment for to do at home (partially due to space and partially due to it being really intense) but I can’t wait to do the other tufting classes!

Textiles class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Aug 2022



I LOVED THIS CLASS So much that I booked into it again with my dad as a Father’s Day gift. Nick was a fantastic teacher and I’m so proud of my creations

Glassblowing and Mosaic class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Aug 2022



Michelle knows her stuff :) I love her tracking style. My kit was accidentally shipped without fragrance, but Michelle had alternative suggestions and was even open to delaying the Class if I waited for her to ship one out. My candles will be so cute when they’re ready!

DIY Soy Wax Vintage Teacup Candles review by Emma Morris

Aug 2022



This was a really cute class, the teacher was knowledgeable and even shared tips about other craft activities we both enjoy! I’m really excited to attend another Girls Gone Koko class!

Deluxe Enclosed Terrarium Workshop review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Aug 2022



Icy is lovely and this class was really informative. I feel inspired to start bullet journaling! Especially after learning the Dutch Door technique

Bullet Journaling for Self Care review by Emma Morris

Aug 2022



There were SO MANY colours to choose from! Definitely go in with an idea in mind, I wanted to do a nebula and Lambrini was a great help

Fluid Art class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jul 2022



This class was fun despite the technical difficulties at the beginning! I felt that the class could have gone for a bit longer, as there was a lot of time spent going over techniques

Meditation and Watercolour Painting Class review by Emma Morris

Jul 2022



I’m glad I went into this with some glass working and metal working experience! I was able to finish quite early today, which was nice. The facilitators were funny, knowledgeable, and helpful. I feel quite accomplished

Leadlight Windows Course review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jul 2022



A fun morning, I had made melt and pour soap before, but not with colours or embeds so that was cool. I love all the extra supplies we were sent so that we could continue our soap making journey

DIY Botanical Heart Soaps review by Emma Morris

Jul 2022



This was one of the best classbentos I’ve attended. Caroline is truly passionate about what she does and a really genuine person. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Fluid Art class review by Emma Morris

Jul 2022



This was an alright class. Probably better for a true beginner than someone with extensive writing experience (I work as a copywriter and editor, just struggle with editing my own work). Linda is passionate though, so it’s definitely a good place to start

Write and Sip at Home review by Emma Morris

Jul 2022



A great Tuesday night in. I’ve already requested an invoice for the August session

Food and Drink Tasting class review by Emma Morris

Jul 2022



An enjoyable day making mozzarella and stracciatella (I chose not to make burrata). It’s fun to attend by yourself as you get partnered with someone else, but it might be better to book with a friend if you’re shy

Cooking class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jul 2022



Angela was a really gentle spirit. She was warm and inviting. The workshop itself was fun and grounding, I really enjoyed it

Body and Soul class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jul 2022



This was fun. I’ve never done macramé before and was a bit worried it would be really hard to learn online, but it was actually really good. My finished piece is a bit wonky, but good for a first try!

DIY Macrame Wall Hanging review by Emma Morris

Jul 2022



This class was so much fun! I’m so pleased with all the cheese I got to bring home. I’ve done a cheese class elsewhere, which was less hands on. The only downfall was the lack of chairs. My poor body didn’t handle standing all day very well

Cheese Making Class: Feta, Halloumi and Mascarpone review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jun 2022



It was an interesting class. Narda has a lot of experience in everything to do with yarn. Don’t forget gloves

Learn Yarn Dyeing and Crocheting review by Emma Morris

Jun 2022



Had a fantastic time creating a stunning bracelet. The only downside was that it takes way more than 3 hours to finish the piece, luckily they’re very understanding and let us stay late <3

Jewellery Making class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jun 2022



A nice way to spend a few hours :) I enjoy classbento classes and the opportunities it gives me to learn so many new things!

Jun 2022



This was the first time I’ve even heard of toad binding! It was fun, but I wasn’t expecting to actually be using a cane toad skin! I enjoyed the class and Isabelle knows so much about bookbinding, it’s really inspiring. One suggestion I’d make is that it would be useful if we were told to fold the pages beforehand, then we wouldn’t spend 15 minutes of the class folding paper haha

Bind a Unique Artist or Writers Journal review by Emma Morris

Jun 2022



This was a lovely day, I enjoyed the intimate setting (only 5 students) and the free flowing mimosas weren’t half bad either the perfumes we made smell divine

Jun 2022



This was an INCREDIBLE day…with the exception of my car breaking down on the way home …but other than that I absolutely loved it. The class was fun and informative, the food delicious, and my starter is thriving!

Sourdough Masterclass review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Shannon has quite the knack for engaging her students. I’ve taken two writing courses with her at the helm and enjoyed them both

Paper Craft and Ink class review by Emma Morris

Jun 2022



All the staff at Co Craft are amazing, I found this course incredibly engaging and fun, plus I got a giant shoe rack out of it!

Four Week Woodworking Course for Beginners review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jun 2022



Lily is so knowledgeable and amazing to learn from! I love her classes and I’m so excited to do more with her. The three perfumes I made today are different to those I would usually make., but I love them

Perfume Making class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

May 2022



This was an interesting class, I struggled a bit with keeping up because I got confused with all the different parts, definitely keep your materials organised before the class!

May 2022



I had a wonderful time at this class! I love the body balm and the serum so much!

Skincare and Haircare class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Apr 2022



Had a really fun time at this class! Glass fusing is really peaceful, and this was even better than the last glass fusing class I took

Fused Glass Coral Bowl Workshop review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Apr 2022



OTAO is one of my favourite places for a date night! The staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is greag

Apr 2022



These classes at OTAO are so much fun, definitely a great time out :) make sure you bring an empty stomach though! You will cook A LOT of food!

Apr 2022



Had a really great time in this class. It was very easy to follow and well-paced. I particularly enjoyed the add-on option of bath milk

DIY Candle and Soap Making for Beginners review by Emma Morris

Mar 2022



These classes are always great! We get so many leftovers it’s wild. The food is delicious

Italian Cooking Class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Mar 2022



There was so much fantastic information in this course, it was great. The one downside is that for some reason I thought it was a one-hour once-off class and it was actually 6x 2.5 hour classes! This was completely my misunderstanding, but it meant I accidentally had other things going on during one of the classes

Learn Novel Writing Skills at Home review by Emma Morris

Alvin is a great teacher, so patient and understanding. And the stones he sent me a gorgeous. He also gave me plenty of tips to keep going with this new hobby :) what a great Monday afternoon

I’m officially addicted This class was sooooo much fun
I’m still working on the project I started today, but thankfully Rachel encouraged us to bring home yarn from the class, so I have plenty to work with
This is a MUST DO class!

Textiles class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Dylan is a great teacher, we always love his classes at OTAO! The food was tasty and all dietary requirements are catered for

Cooking class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Mar 2022



This was a fantastic experience! All the participants were friendly and the facilitator was exceptionally accepting of my limitations.
We had a great time! The biscuits were the best part

Cooking class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Feb 2022



What a wonderful (but intense) day!
I was a bit trepidatious when Jen told us this morning that she would be running a tight ship and keeping up the pace. However, I found it not too bad to keep up with :) she was really understanding of my physical limitations due to fibromyalgia and very gracious. She even gave me a round of applause!
Jen was very accommodating of my need to avoid lilies (due to having cats), which was great.

Floristry class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Feb 2022



I love OTAO Kitchen so much! All the teachers have this fantastic laid-back, but hands-on teaching style. And the food we all made was delicious!

Cooking class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Feb 2022



A wonderful way to spend the day! I had so much fun making all the different pieces! Can’t wait to make some jewellery next time!

Feb 2022



Yum yum yum Oh my gosh today was delicious!
I’ve attended a LOT of classbentos, but this was easily one of the best I’ve been to! Can’t wait for my cheese to mature

Cooking class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

This class was a fun Friday night! I loved how much advice we were given about painting - which is applicable to all painting :)

Painting class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Feb 2022



We had a great time tonight. Lots of good food and good company. The curries were surprisingly easy to make and the naan particularly delicious.

Cooking class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Feb 2022



This was one of the best Zoom classes I’ve attended! The only thing I wish had been different is that we should have been provided with the proper masks to wear while working with resin. We all made do with masks we had at home, but it would have been better if we’d had the proper ones (even if the class had to be a few $ more expensive, or maybe it could be an optional add-on).
I loved the range and amount of pigments that were included in our kits!
Monica was fantastic, she knew so much and I’m so excited to see my pieces when they’re finished curing

Fluid Art class review by Emma Morris

Jan 2022



This class was fun, but the location is very warm, and when all the fans are on it can be difficult to hear.
I really enjoyed the hands on learning though!

Paper Craft and Ink class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jan 2022



This class was super fun! A great Friday night. The grazing platter was massive.
Alfred Place has no parking, so don’t drive down it there’s plenty of parking on surrounding streets though

Fluid Art class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jan 2022



Wow! What a long, but enjoyable day! Merryl and Georgina were great facilitators for learning how to mosaic. The only thing I can think of that could be improved is that there was no formal lunch break. If a lunch break were taken into account the day would need to be longer in order for everyone to finish their mosaics.

Glassblowing and Mosaic class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jan 2022



I had quite an enjoyable afternoon, and now I have a delicious bottle of gin!
If you’re booking on a Sunday be aware that the class is actually 11-1, they do send an email to advise of this but it went to my junk mail, so we were late.
The only piece of constructive criticism I have is that the cheese and biscuits could have been served earlier, rather than at the end, as they could have helped break up the different flavours of botanicals

Food and Drink Tasting class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jan 2022



I had a fantastic time making dumplings! The atmosphere was fun, the wine (Pinot Grigio) was delicious! And the food was surprisingly yummy!

Dumpling Cooking Class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Jan 2022



Wow! This class was so much fun! Jacqui was very encouraging throughout and made sure to accommodate me as my fibromyalgia started flaring up. All in all, a wonderful afternoon

French Cooking Class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Dec 2021



Wow! This was such an informative class, I wasn’t expecting to learn so much! Definitely somewhere I want to revisit

Food and Drink Tasting experience review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Nikki did such a great job teaching us! My flower crown is beautiful, and it was so therapeutic

Floristry class review by Emma Morris

Dec 2021



The box was awesome! Unfortunately I was unable to attend the live class due to it being changed and also my own plans changing last minute, but I’m sure it would have been great! The gingerbread is delicious

Dec 2021



I really enjoyed this class…even though I stuffed up my mug and turned the clay into lunch pot mugs after the class ended it was a relaxing way to spend a Wednesday evening

I love Metascent. I’ve now done all three of their workshops, and they’re just so talented! The range of fragrances is amazing

Kat provided SO MANY scents to construct our perfumes from! This was an absolutely fantastic class.

Perfume Making class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Dec 2021



This was a really fun class - interrupted by my cat escaping the house - I was stressed to the max, but the instructor was able to keep me on track and focussed.
The only improvement I would suggest is letting us know when there were going to be drawings inside the shape we were about to draw, to ensure we left enough space

Draw Mandalas on Recycled Bottles review by Emma Morris

This was a really fun class! Diana is so knowledgeable and kind. I can’t wait to see my platter and bowls after they’ve been fired!

Pottery class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Dec 2021



This was a fun class, though it would have been better if there were two printing stations. With six students and only one printing station it meant we didn’t get through the 2 tea towels and 2 tote bags each, which was disappointing.
I did enjoy the actual printing though

Textiles class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Dec 2021



Another great ClassBento. I feel so calm and relaxed, even an hour later. I’m definitely ready for the day!

Dec 2021



Brett is so knowledgeable and friendly! I love the workshops at Co Craft! Today we made bowls, I got to use all sorts of handheld power tools, which was really fun, and my bowls look great! I’m looking forward to my next class here :)

Woodworking Class: Bowls review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Dec 2021



I really struggled with coming up with a rating for this class. The chocolates, ganache, and truffles we made were delicious, and overall the class was fun. Unfortunately Sylvia made a comment about two thirds of the way through the class, about how she suspects a disabled man and his partner/carer who is “even more disabled than him” as being behind the latest break in at her shop. Now sure it may have been them, but the comments about their disabilities were completely unnecessary for the story and, to be frank, truly horrifying. Particularly given that I have an invisible disability myself. Let’s just say I won’t be attending the other chocolate or biscuit workshops here :(

Dan was absolutely fantastic, this was such a great workshop I feel so motivated to write now Like I’ve already started pestering my friends to be test readers

Dec 2021



This class was fantastic! I feel so experienced now! I started the class thinking “there’s no way this will take 5 hours” and it wasn’t until about 4 hours in that I noticed what the time was! It had flown by

Woodworking Class: Plant Stand review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

This class was amazing Bel was so knowledgeable and energetic. The plants are gorgeous and I love my terrarium so much :3

Tipsy Terrarium Workshop: Make and Sip review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

Dec 2021



This was a really fun class. The group of students was quite large though, which sometimes made it difficult to hear the instructions. I arrived right on time and people had already started their mosaics, so it felt a little unstructured. I love my mosaic though and can’t wait for it to fully dry so I can assemble the lamp tomorrow

Glassblowing and Mosaic class review by Emma Morris - Melbourne

I’ve done a perfumers workshop with Metascent before, but this was my first time making a solid perfume. It was really fun and well organised. I liked that there were two staff members there to help us all.
