Natural Skin Care Workshop: Face Care
This class was so much fun. The teacher was absolutely lovely and had lots of knowledge and advice. We took home a day cream, rich balm, toner , face oil and mask. Lots of variety in essential oils for fragrances. We were provided with a booklet with tons of information so we could replicate products at home. Definitely recommend this class.
Monica Hood • Feb 2021
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Our teacher Holly is fantastic, her knowledge of cement and what you can create with it is excellent. Holly is very generous with her ideas and gives lots of advice and tips on how to create with cement. I would love to take another course with Holly.

Japanese Boro Stitching Workshop
Thank you for an interesting and informative Boro Stitching Workshop. Judith came prepared with her work samples and lots of other online ideas of Boro Stitching inspirations. Being a small class, Judith was also able to move around and give a one-on-one teaching/ help. We all had a good Boro Stitching session. Thank you again, Judith.
Cheers, Khairon

classroom is decent, fair to say it's difficult to condense years of practice into just three-hour class but the lecturer delivered it professionally, also cater to students' need and answer all kinds of questions.

I really enjoyed this class. Monika is clearly experienced in fluid arts and is a very good teacher. She was happy to modify the class to fit what I wanted to do and she also provided lots of useful information. Highly recommended class.

Panda has delivered an excellent class with plenty of very useful tips on how to create a scrumptious vegan cake. Best cake knowledge investment I’ve made this year!

Resin Art Workshop for Beginners
Monika, our teacher, was very friendly and experienced in resin creations. A great introduction shared with the whole family. We all thoroughly enjoyed our day with Monica and was left with not only a piece of art but also great enthusiasm to pursue resin art further. We loved the location easy access and parking. Thanks to our wonderful experience with Monika we can’t wait to try our next adventure with candle making.

Monika was great - sister, niece and nephew all enjoyed the class and their creation. Fun morning will definitely be doing another resin class.

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 :)
Anonymized Customer • Nov 2020
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
Felicia Wong • Oct 2020
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)
Katrina Moore • Oct 2020
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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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

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!
Anna Schutz • Mar 2020
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!

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.
