The teacher was fantastic! Very enthusiastic but still let everyone's own creativity take overI went home with two amazing floral displays - my Uber driver was very complimentary and suggested that I look at floral design as a vocation :)

Gisele was great. She was patient with every question and was clearly very knowledgeable, plus really positive energy. Will definitely come back for any other classes she runs. The set up of the class was good and well spread out. Given Covid that was a concern but the seats were well distanced. I don’t mind this review being shared with Gisele but if it’s used in public please omit my name. Thanks

Great introduction and handouts plus demonstration! Kit is well stocked and sets me up for giving this new hobby a try! I'm already wearing my new pieces (bangle and jigsaw pendant)

The teacher was extremely enthusiastic and extremely interested in what the students had to bring to the class in terms of ideas and original interpretations
The teacher also sought to share all the knowledge that she had acquired whether it was the stores that she went to to purchase materials or the kinds of leaves and ecological principles she drew on to dye her materials.
I would like to thank her for everything my only small advice would be to schedule the lunch break strictly at 12:30 because I became a little bit hungry after a few hours. Having a break to eat some nourishing food early is probably a good idea.
I would recommend this class to people.

Silicone Mould Making Class for Resin Jewellery
Monika was great! Very knowledgeable and made the class fun.
Monika offered to email me everything I would need to set myself up with resin which was very generous. Highly recommend if you’re curious about mould making and resin but want to dip your toe in first!

Ikebana Japanese Flower Arrangement Class
I really enjoyed the class. Our teacher, Kuniko, made sure we understood the Ikebana way of arranging flowers. She was very helpful with each of my arranged effort and made corrections to help me understand the concepts. I learnt a little Japanese history and culture and although the arrangements appear simple, there is a process to be followed which is what I learnt and it is not as easy as it looks! The flowers provided were great to work with and the variety gave different options. The venue was fine and I appreciated being able to take the flowers home to enjoy. I had a lovely day - so nice to learn something new with like minded people. Thank you. Annette

It was hard to find the right mask because of covid
It would have been helpful to discuss colour theory

It was a form of art I had never tried before and it was well explained. The kit came with almost everything I needed to get started and keep practicing post workshop. Great way to learn a new art form.

Brush Lettering Class for Beginners
I attended the Brush Lettering Beginners class. Alena was wonderful and made us all feel comfortable, especially in the midst of covid restrictions that made the desk spacing a little awkward. The learning process of watching Alena do some basic strokes, then having 1 on 1 time with her while we practiced on our own was really valuable and worked well for a beginners class. I was a bit of a slow learner, so I did feel somewhat constrained by the 2.5 hour time frame, but Alena was nice enough go a little overtime. I'm not a huge fan of the brush pens we received, they're low-cost kids' markers and uncomfortable to hold, but the class was still good value due to the take-home booklets and having a professional teacher. My one suggestion would be to give everyone a pen to take down notes, as I regret not noting down various tips while Alena was going through them.

Fermentation and Pickling Class
I just finished the pickling and fermenting class with Marcea Kelowna and I just want to say that She. Is. Brilliant. I learnt more than just about pickling. Outstanding. Thank you, Marcea. You’re a gem, truly. And thank you Sydney Community College for putting together these classes. Can’t praise it enough.

Ferment and Pickle Vegetables at Home

Ferment and Pickle Vegetables at Home
Very informative session, with additional tips provided. Session was well presented online. The spice mix smelt great, so am looking forward to tasting the fermented vegies in a week or so.

Alena was a terrific teacher, she has a friendly approach with clear instructions and encouraging with her critique of student's first attempts of brush lettering.
Part of the reason I was interested in this was to have more control over my own signature and erratic writing and already this class has worked a treat. Big thanks!
Martina Gear • Jun 2020
This class was so informative, enjoyable and fun, would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to learn brush lettering.
Suzette Heerden • Jun 2020
Amazing tutor that really connects with the students and the class time was fully utilised, the content covered was amazingly interesting and very well-planned, all materials were of good quality and provided in a timely manner. Definitely worth every cent and highly recommended. A fantastic, inspiring experience run in a very professional manner whilst still ensuring that everyone feels right at home. What a joy

DIY Makeup: Eyebrows, False Lashes, Lips
Kerry was so knowledgeable and experienced that it made learning from her a treat. She showed how to apply the makeup and then had us do it, giving lots of individualised pointers and advise with what would work well for each person. The only negative was some connectivity issues with it freezing for a few seconds quite a lot, but apart from the technological issues, it was really good. Would definitely recommend!

I booked this class for a hens celebration, and Monika was fantastic. She gave hands on help when required, and fielded all our questions without hesitation. She even acted as our photographer for the afternoon! Definitely recommended!

Precious Metal Clay Jewellery Making Class
The teacher had a thorough knowledge of working with the medium which she shared at appropriate points throughout the day. She was accommodating of all student's needs and extremely helpful. The classroom was well set up for this type of task. An excellent introduction to working with PMC

The trencher was informative and helpful. It was good being able to experiment with the colours and scents. We went home with some lovely candles.

Palette Knife Painting Workshop
This class was really good Started slow with techniques and by then end you felt like a pro. Simple to learn almost anyone could do it. Best to come in with an idea of colours you like together or a subject to paint as the last hour is essentially self directed exploration.

Resin Art Workshop for Beginners
The teacher was great, available, easy to understand, very supportive. The venue was rudimentary but honestly it was fine, didn't need anything and it's expected since it's an art workshop.
Material was provided and easy to use. Good workshop all together, we both loved it. It was my wide and I 1 year of wedding anniversary and we are glad we chose this as part of our celebration day.

We must have learned about 20 things we can do better in our small home garden. Great class, with a teacher who knows what she's talking about. Would recommend to any aspiring gardener.
