Loved it! Steve is super friendly, encouraging, and has fascinating stories to tell. The studio is located on the riverbank with a stunning view. Steve designed the workshop in a way that is very achievable in 2hrs for first timers. If Steve offers more casual classes, I'm definitely eager to check them out. Not to mention the cutest and goodest boi Harry keeping us company the whole time <3

Loved the workshop! Amanda is passionate and friendly. The water marbling is very achievable for absolutely beginners and the process is very fun, even therapeutic. It's so forgiving and full of pleasant surprises!

It's a great course for someone who's either an absolute beginner in drawing or lacking confidence. Helena gave a few very helpful tips. It was also nice to have an environment that is relaxing and encouraging to focus on sketching, almost like a meditation. It's a pleasant surprise for me at the end of the night feeling "huh, I can draw something not too bad after all!"

I learned some really useful basic sewing skills from this workshop. Now I'm more confident in having a dab at mending my clothes!

Manjari was very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. I had a blast learning about the culture background, the history and the techniques of this traditional embroidery style. It's absolutely beginner friendly - it's my first time learning back stitching and blanket stitching and I think I did alright for a first timer. Manjari even brought brownies she made herself, absolutely delicious! This experience definitely brought up my curiosity and interest in doing more of this style of embroidery!

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop! Nick is a great teacher. He is patient and approachable, very experienced in the art of glass making and teaching. I certainly have grown a lot more appreciation for this art.
