The terrarium workshop was excellent. Kathy, our teacher, certainly knows her stuff and was able to teach all participants how to create their own terrarium. She is so enthusiastic and guided us through the process and enabled all of the participants to each create a beautiful terrarium. Kathy provided so many choices with regard to plants and miniature garden ornaments. It was a truly positive workshop.

I have attended a number of Bento craft classes now and they have all been good. This class was exceptional. It was next level good. Our teacher was sensational- knowledgeable, encouraging, patient, supportive. She also provide an instructional take home pack (very useful). I came away with 6 finished pairs of earrings and probably could have made more if I was to talk less. I have been inspired to continue. Awesome class. I highly recommend it.

Clear and encouraging instructions in a truly relaxed environment. The whole ceramic painting process took 2 hours in a quirky space was super cool.

I loved this collage experience. Sitting around a big table whilst exploring an eclectic mix of magazines, newspapers and a myriad of old books, was in itself a nostalgic journey for myself. Cutting and carefully ripping out pages to use in my collages provided me with a different perspective on the way art can originate. The teachers were incredibly helpful and provided both group and individual help. I was surprised at what I was able to achieve. I did create pieces I was very happy to share with my family. I have no experience of collage in this way but have found that this workshop sparked an interest in me. The afternoon tea provided was delightful - delicious doughnuts. Such a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

What a lot of fun! Our teacher was skilful and so encouraging. It truly felt like we were in an artists loft in the Melbourne CBD creating our own pieces of abstract art. We were encouraged to experiment and let our imaginations take us on a journey. I came away with a piece which I enjoyed creating and one which I am quietly proud of. I had no previous experience apart from high school art class a million years ago. Our teacher even provided me with a non-alcoholic sparkling and the others with a glass of champagne. All tastes, abilities and styles were catered for in this inclusive environment.

This class was a revelation. It was relaxing, creative, colourful and fun. Loved the vibe. We were provided with wonderful tutoring into the fine art of marbling and produced quite a few different pieces. Out teacher was fantastic - informed, encouraging and incredibly helpful. Loved my class.

Another wonderful morning creating a mosaic piece with the help of Merryl and her team. Patient, knowledgeable tuition combined with fantastic resources.

I enjoyed my casual mosaics class and left with a piece- a green fish - that I never thought I could make and with a lot of new skills. The teachers were fantastic and very encouraging and positive. Nothing was too much for them. I would recommend this class to anyone who would like to learn about mosaics in a comfortable and supportive environment. Absolutely loved the experience!
