Really enjoyed this class . Michelle was great and said if my kit doesn't arrive would reschedule but it finally arrived 10/15 minutes into class .
One amazing inspiration person . So kind patient and very professional in explaining each step throughout as couple of us weren't at same stages .Michelle explained benefits natural products how they work on our skin that cheap and cost effective to make and also give as lovely gifts to people .
She truly inspired me as well with health issues had to change direction of caterer and how she loves to use natural products .
Michelle extremely helpful stayed behind with me to ensure I finish class and had done properly before leaving . Thankyou so much Michelle I will definitely do more of your classes .
Look forward to them and so relaxing once got over stress of class with no kit whilst others were doing made me very welcome cos I was Just to leave class cos didn't haven't kit . Michelle said it had happened before saying hopeful and checked tracking to say was coming as I didn't have number but assured me regardless I get to do class . Thankyou so much and products smell amazing and so nourishing and light on ur skin . Had excess in serum so put back into clear bottle .
So easy to do most of it just patience and a lot of stirring to mix oil and water together .

Thanks heaps so much Michelle . Look forward to next class with you .

Had great fun doing this class . Everyone nice and learnt 2 different techniques to do .
Teacher very patient kept checking everyone at stages allowing us to have a break etc if wanted . Explained to us the different plants used in our planters how to care for them and watering etc . Also some great tips and ideas for other things to do with polymers clay . I had taken little longer softening kneading polymers clay with hands but was pretty pleased turned out fantastic. Also told how to make earrings jewellery etc and baking times and explained process how polymers should be after baking . I have made coasters as well as had plenty left over to do other things . Thankyou everyone I felt welcome even though not experienced with camera as such turning on so most of class I watched them doing theirs comparing mine trying to make same .
Cannot praise teacher enough as I was one hour early for class and didn't rush through cos difference in time zones lol. . Learnt about Sydney from other people in class which was quite fascinating also as I never been there.
Thanks for fantastic class

Shirlee was great and explained everything used and why certain wicks / wax / fragrances/ moulds etc used. I totally enjoyed this class .
Shirlee explained each total process went through with us and was extremely patient with me . One wax cooled when I turned off at commencement class and we moved to next one then went back to it when I was able too.
Had trouble wax leaking in mould and Shirlee guided me through what to do as was mess. Had couple problems with my hands again but worked my way through .
I didn't do the bath extra for $20 as hadn't seen it when booked but watched and listened what to do when she was teaching may to do it .
Recommend anyone to do as great for presents for Xmas .
Thanks again and thoroughly enjoyed this class .
My soap I love and candles also .
Thanks for a fun class Shirlee .

Thanks Yoko for a great class . U were very informative patient and understanding with me . U made sure each step was done thoroughly and properly before proceeding to next step I had done correct . Great class learning something new I enjoyed immensely .Great work Yoko . Thinking of getting for mum to do at some stage as gift .
I had some difficulty wih a couple steps but Yoko was extremely patient explaining the history behind do this art form and teaching how to do this on a one to one class with me as took some time to do but well worth it as my hand and back were getting sore but finished a great plate .
Thanks & very appreciated so much as I know I will teach my daughter and continue to do this to repair treasured items chipped or broken get fixed permanently with a brilliant gold decorative join .
I am really happy with my plate I did and can't wait five days to clean residue and let it cure properly .
Thanks Yoko /Bento's girls so much.
