My aunt and I had a wonderful time at Tatiana’s Silk Painting class. Set in a beautiful and peaceful location, Tatiana clearly explained what we needed to do and helped guide us through the entire process. Looking at her work in the room really gave you an insight into all the possibilities of what you can do. She has dozens of templates you can choose from and the colour options seem endless. We had a lovely light lunch with Tatiana. Overall I would highly recommend this class. A great day in the Dandenongs

Silk Painting Class: Batik Scarf review by Clare Steeper - Melbourne

This is a wonderful 6 week course that I highly recommend. I have enjoyed making new pieces each week and learning different techniques to decorate them. I can definitely see myself continuing to do Slipcasting in the future. Ryan is a great teacher who explains everything you need to know and gives you plenty of ideas and guidance on what you can do to make your pieces shine. Seeing all his work in the studio gives you so much inspiration. My pieces are on the way to the kiln now for firing and I am excited to see the final result

This class was great and something very different to try. Nick gave us clear, easy to follow instructions and made sure we were comfortable with what we were doing every step of the way. We got to make a paperweight and a tumbler. Everyone in the class works together to help support the person making the tumbler, so you get the try all of the assistance roles. Definitely worth a try

I love how my piece turned out. It’s was better than I expected which is always a good thing. Meryls instructions are clear and easy to follow. It’s a class you want to come back and do multiple times

This is a fantastic class and I highly recommend it. Everything you need is provided and the range of colours you can choose is great. Helena explained everything clearly and even gave us information on what we need to get/ look out for if we decide to set yourselves up to do it at home in the future. I went in thinking it would be harder than it was and it didn’t take long to feel comfortable doing it. It’s quite the workout though especially the first day. My arms and feet were very sore but it was more than worth it. Thanks Helena

This class was lots of fun. So many design choices and colours it is hard to decide what you want to do. The teacher and instructions were clear and easy to follow. Even the homework to plaster it doesn’t seem too hard to do. Can’t wait until it’s fully finished (photo pre plaster).

This is my second time doing this class and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Merryl gives you great information and options for making the best piece you can. I love seeing what others have made and getting inspiration for future projects. Attached is a picture of my piece prior to firing. I can’t wait to see my finished vase

Fused Glass Vase Workshop review by Clare Steeper - Melbourne

This class was a lot of fun. Cara gave clear instructions and what to do and showed us multiple techniques that we could use. It is easier on a flat surface as opposed to a curved one when you start but fun to see what the ink naturally wants to do on the pot. This is something I can see myself doing more of at home and experimenting even further with

The Kokodama class run by Cara was great. As others cancelled I ended up having a private class! Cara was very knowledgeable and went through how to make them step by step. They are fun to make and seem like they will hopefully be easy to look after. I will definitely be trying to make more at home by myself. They will make great presents

Wonderful class with a great teacher. Everything is clearly explained and you leave with a great induction and beginning knowledge of glass fusing. I couldn’t be happier with how my piece turned out. A great way to spend the day

I really enjoyed doing this full day mosaic class and loved my final piece. Everything was clearly explained and you were helped each step of the way. Suggestions were given on how to make your piece even better which really helped to make the colours flow into each other better. To come away with a fully finished piece at the end of the day was great.
