Ivy Trove makes the best macrame kits I've ever had the pleasure to work with! The rope is beautiful, amazing to work with and recycled, the wooden hoops/rods are beautiful wood and look so good hanging your finished piece, and the video instructions are clear, relaxing and informative.

An ok set with paints, a canvas, paintbrush and optional drink. Cheaper to source these items individually but if you want a starter set this is perfectly suitable!

A lovely little class and material kit, lots of clay left over to make more pots in the future!

Really nice class - I have managed to make potato gnocci and even sweet potato gnocci with the skills I learned and the fun gnocci paddle. Lots of fun and decent value for money.

Loved the little sample bottles and the review card with sheep as the rating stars, tried some wine that would normally be outside my comfort/price zone and had a lot of fun!

Tried the medium seze kit and loved it so much I had to do the small with my support worker - these are such simple sets with cute visual instructions and the plants are actually surviving my care (a minor miracle)!

This class taught me to make a delicious meal and the included ingredients were top quality. I will certainly be making elements of the recepies again and am excited to continue expanding my familiarity with native ingredients!

Nikki delivered a really great class with lots of new tangles as well as colour and shading techniques. I love the finished product and am already making another stack of rocks! Zentangle is a great way to focus energy and relax and I can't wait to learn more from Nikki in the future.

Loved this kit, was super easy to get the hang of engraving the clear plate and my design (an archeopterix fossil) came out looking so good! Only wish I had purchased extra plates to make more designs!

A really relaxed class at Guild of Objects' gorgeous Hardware Lane studio, I learned a lot about the elements of abstract art and enjoyed playing with unique texture in my pieces. We worked on a series of warm up pieces before tackling the canvas and were even provided with tote bags to carry back our completed artwork!

Really incredible array of chocolates (even though some were too strong for my taste I loved experiencing and understanding what made them unique!) and a super informative accompanying video. I feel confident to identify and choose quality chocolate going forward and am more familiar with the background of chocolate making.

This box is incredible and has broadened my horizons so much with the included recipes alongside experimentation with all the ingredients. The links to videos and writing are really interesting and have helped me understand what I am cooking with better. A huge fan of the wattleseed pancakes in particular, so tasty and an easy recipe for breakfast!

An amazing, cozy class in a gorgeous location. Learned so many cool weaving techniques and got to take home everything I need to continue my tapestry! The teacher was lovely, very patient and relaxing to learn from. I really reccomend this class, and would love to attend more things hosted by Guild of Objects!
