I really enjoyed this class, it was so festive and got me into the Christmas spirit while creating some decorations. Niki is a great teacher and lovely to chat to.

Another great class from Niki! I enjoyed taking a break from my workday to get creative and unwind with some tangles!

This class was amazing! Amy is a great teacher who accommodates everyone and is very inclusive. I had a great time and am so happy with what I made. I missed a few classes due to illness and Amy was super understanding and generous with her time.

This was a really informative, interactive and easy to follow class. I learned a lot and am keen to attend one of the star gazing nights!

This was a great class! What makes it unique compared to other classes, such as painting classes, is you actually create something you're proud to display in your home. The material used is quite 'forgiving' in that it takes a while to dry, so if at first you don't succeed you can easily start over until you get the hand of it, which is great for beginners!

Do yourself a favour and book in for this class! Such a warm and friendly vibe, with the perfect balance of supportive instruction, combined with the time and freedom to play and create. The eco friendly, quality materials and the setting in a beautiful and peaceful yoga studio were a bonus I really appreciated. Great value class. Five stars all the way!

I really enjoyed creating some artwork at lunchtime! The step by step process was easy to follow, and I'll be booking in for another one of these lunchtime classes!

A great mindfulness activity! Niki showed us two 'tangles'. I loved the tile-inspired one, and am looking forward to mastering the pretzel/heart shaped one.

A great way to add some 'zen' to your day! Niki is an encouraging teacher and her classes are always well structured with easy to follow instructions just at the right pace. I really enjoyed this class, and will booking in some more for my midday mindfulness!

Another great class! Niki took us through step by step to create two botanical scenes.
I will use the techniques I learned in this class to add more botanical themed drawing to my Zentangle and other creative projects.

Another really enjoyable class! I liked that this was pre-recorded - I was able to go at my own pace and follow along easily.

I've done two of Yvette's classes and both were great! She always makes it a relaxed and positive environment where it is easy to learn and create.

The chocolate tasting box arrived quickly. I bought it to give as a Christmas present, however, have had a sneak peek in the box and the chocolates look great!

I really enjoyed this relaxed class! The template provided and the materials that came with the kit were more than required - I have made several more bowls using the supplies! Photo is to show the work in progress, not the finished result :)

Niki's classes are always enjoyable! I particularly liked the theme of this one - it was relaxing to draw an 'under the sea' style tile.

I liked the idea of this class, however, I was a little disappointed I didn't realise it was simply connecting pre-made pieces and drawing on them with markers.

This craft box was ok for the price, however, my clay trinket dish did not turn out anything like the beautiful ones in the photo! Mine was very thick and chunky, and the edges were rough and uneven. Still a good value kit, and it may be that I just don't have the skills for working with clay, however, it may be worth some practice if you want to achieve something like that pictured.

I enjoyed this class, the teacher made it feel relaxed, and it was a great way to zone out and focus on something fun and creative.

I enjoyed this class, however, if you want to interact with the teacher or other attendees, you may wish to seek a smaller class. This one was much like following a pre-recorded video. I still enjoyed it though!

Watercolour Painting Class: Marine Animals review by Kristen Barrett

I loved this craft box! The instructions were easy to follow and I made some pieces I am proud to wear. What's more, I've been inspired to take this up as an ongoing hobby, and maybe even a side hustle in future!

I can't recommend this class enough! Niki was friendly, accommodating, down to earth and I enjoyed every minute of her class! I didn't think I could draw but this class has inspired me. I loved the Zentangle concept and will be continuing with it. Thanks Niki for sharing with us!
