Tony McCabe Mar 2024


It is quickly obvious that Dan knows what he is talking about, has extensive experience, and likes teaching. A lot of effort has been put into developing this curse and there is extensive relatable reference material.
I finished the last lesson tonight, and I’m still high from my “ah ha” moment, when I started to mix music on the equipment.
It seems impossibly technical at the beginning, but hang on and it will all make sense in the end and you too will be mulling over DJ names.

Helita Agranat Mar 2024


Teacher was very experienced. Gave lots of examples of what can be achieved. She was very accomplished.
Venue was excellent. Materials provided were appropriate to the course.
Class was good value. The class was small so plenty of attention was given. Achieved objective of learning to crochet. Very satisfied with outcome. Enjoyed the whole process. Highly recommended.

Amber, our teacher was excellent. Learnt a lot. Class was fun with a great group of people.

Aileen Gardner Jan 2024


Teacher was very knowledgeable, and happy to help with my project.
Materials like flux and solder were available at the class even though when asked, the college said I had to bring my own.

Mel Corthine Nov 2023


I can’t overstate how much I LOVED this course. Payal is the most kind, creative & constructive teacher and I am confident that I have learned how to crochet! I am an absolute beginner but Payal has set me up with enough knowledge & skills to continue with my new hobby which I really love. The course was the best gift I could have given myself.

Claudia Barrie Nov 2023


Sarah is lovely. Kind and thoughtful and explains things really well. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

To start with the teacher did not introduce herself. Though the teacher was fantastic at botanical illustrations, I found that she did not provide any feedback on my work or anyone else's work. I had to ask her where I had gone wrong and how to improve my work. Even then, it was extremely brief. She did not show me how to do it. I had read the great reviews about the teacher - how she spent time with each student and helped them individually and that the whole experience was very good. Unfortynately that was not the case for me. Thogh the exercises were good, again there was no feed back.

Xiaorui Cao Oct 2023


Wonderful experience also teacher is very helpful and supportive. Friendly environment as well. Highly recommend!

We expected a little more guided and controlled learning, like how to use specific tools and make specific marks with them. We were just left to make art by ourselves after a warm up and felt a bit lost.

Purchased this class for my mum and I and we absolutely loved it! Holly was super informative and made the class really enjoyable. We learnt the basics of mixing concrete and a few different design techniques. Small class size which meant there was time to ask questions and get help when required.

Relaxed and informative. Gave helpful suggestions. No pressure applied. We worked in casual atmosphere but all felt inspired and encouraged. Thank you Anne

Debbie Core Jul 2023


Amber was easygoing and approachable. She was very hands-on and gave attendees individual attention and guidance on things like piping. I now feel more confident about decorating my own cupcakes for my son’s parties. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed very much and definitely will do more classes. Very friendly and hand on. For sure learnt much more than watching Youtube. Worth learning from a real class.

Loved the class, Jacqueline was very attentive to everyone and covered any questions we had. We learnt how to give a full body massage using a variety of strokes. We were also provided with notes so that we could practice at home. Highly recommended if you are looking to learn some basic massage skills.

Gia Nicolaou May 2023


For my milestone birthday I was gifted funds which went towards this cupcake decorating class. It was one of my desires to learn how to create lovely looking cupcakes!

Thanks Amber, I learnt alot and enjoyed the fact that we could take our cupcakes home. Thank you also for your kindness and patience.

This was a lot of fun and it was great that we had the option to choose different shapes for our artwork piece and that they were large in size so our take home art was substantial. Had a great time and loved the art we produced.

Beatrice Ludowici Apr 2023


Teacher was engaged and enthusiastic. Quality of materials was good. Lesson was well organised, if perhaps a bit slow. Generous space and good desks. Lacked ambiance. Desk lights for drawing, music and climate control would have made it a better experience.

Calm thoughtful teacher

Nice place for lunch

Julian Ubaldi Mar 2023


Very informative and personable teacher. The materials supplied were in good condition and high quality. Class was detailed but not overwhelming and plenty of time was given to explore individually or receive direct instruction.

Beck Colechin Mar 2023


Such a great day! I’m a beginner and it was the perfect pace. The teacher was really talented, knowledgeable and willing to help all students of all abilities. I’ll definitely look at doing a further watercolour course with this teacher.

Sharon Baker is an absolutely amazing teacher. If you’re going to learn the art of calligraphy, learn from the best in the industry. Friendly, generous with her knowledge and time with personalised guidance throughout the whole session. Loved the experience and would highly recommend Sharon.

Grace Delaney Mar 2023


Enjoyed the course. Our teacher was lovely. Nice relaxed pace. Plenty of parking spots. Learned new techniques.

Our teacher was very practical and patient and we all produced masterpieces!
I would like to do another type of cake decorating course with Amber

Justin Mar 2023


* great communication from instructor
* some extra tastings outside of the provided recipes
* would have been nice to get to cook our own too - we were asked to bring 2-3 containers each, but there was really only one cheese to take home shared across the class, so only had around 1/2 a container's worth of cheese to take home

Justin Ting Mar 2023


This is more an information session than a hands-on ‘make your own cheese’ class - which the description I found a little misleading. The description mentions ‘you will also get a chance to make your own cheese’ made me think that it’s a cooking class where we each are making one, but actually because of Covid, the instructor is just demonstrating it and the rest of us sit and listen. (Also it said bring containers but since there is only 1 cheese that is made for the entire class to try - there isn’t much to take home)

The location of the classroom was also a little hard to find - in the email we were only told the building’s address but not the actual classroom we are supposed to go, so had to look around for the right room.

The teacher was very informative, knowledgeable and fun.

My Little Panda is quite knowledgeable & a lot of fun to do a course with. When 'unforeseen creative outcomes' occur (when things don't go quite right in the kitchen) she finds a solution to everything. The recipes are accurate & everything is explained 'step by step'. It's a good class if you're vegan but don't really like &/or want to give other options to 'raw' food treats.

Meri Marel Mar 2023


The teacher Ayse was delightful and inspiring. Terrific recipes I will definitely be attempting, hoping for a delicious outcome.

Jessica Gombault Mar 2023


Loved the experience, and interaction with our teacher/chef!
The vegan cheeses were delicious and I learned a lot during the course, it would be even better if we could be a bit more involved in the cooking, get our hands in the kitchen instead of just tasting but regardless it was a lovely evening with a small group of people, very easy going!

Ellie is an accomplished artist and ran a great course
Taking everyone through important theory such as colour, underpainting mixing oils and still life and then allowing students to produce works that reflected their individual passion. I would thoroughly recommend Ellie as an art teacher fantastic 100% Merry Christmas

Mariangela Alvarez Nov 2022


Teacher is excellent. She is clear, friendly , easy to understand and give lot of practical examples. Location very convenient for public transport, nice cafe shop around the corner, booklet very handy.

Sally Holmes Nov 2022


Payal is a wonderful teacher who ensures that each stitch is mastered before moving on. This means you understand what you are doing and learn the ‘theory’ rather than just following what someone else is doing. The more you practice in between each week the more you will gain from the course too. The venue was OK, but I feel the light could be better in the room we were assigned, particularly for stitching work like crochet that depends on detail. A nice small group of 6 which gave plenty of time to ask Payal questions individually. Would love to come back for a more intermediate course in the future.

First class experience. Avril is not only competent and passionate about her craft she’s an excellent facilitator of a class such as this. We completed five projects and learned several fundamental bookbinding skills. Two full days packed with learning and all materials supplied represented terrific value for money. It’s inspired me to go further with this craft. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed this class. I was hospitalised before the final session and the teacher sent me a copy of the class to watch which I really appreciated. I learnt a lot about drawing and why my portraits always looked wrong before. I understood shapes and lines better. I think I was the least experienced and skilled drawer in the class but I got a lot from it. The teacher could extend and give more basic options depending on the participants skill. Good drawing tools are essential for this class - order the kit recommended.

The class filled out the basics I'd need to make an 'add style' video. But I did not need a 8GB flash drive as it was all done on a powerpoint presentation. I would have liked to have had some sort of practice training on my phone? Instead of just (the teachers powerpoint) as they used professional equipment in their add making anyway!

Not great, teacher wasn’t very vocal almost timid kind of quiet and scared
No structure to the class no outline of the class of what to expect
No notes provided, had a note book as suggested but nothing explained very well.
Bought items to use but didn’t use anything didn’t make anything in the class as nothing was explained very well
5 in the class and only 2 ppl turned up the following week.

Really need to look at how the class is worth $250 and nothing learnt.

I’m sorry I expected to walk away with crystals wire wrapped and know how to do it at home and I don’t and have to probably use YouTube or another class.

Paper Craft and Ink class review by Emma Morris

Max Walkerden May 2022


My son did not get to attend this class as he became very ill with suspected glandular fever and tonsillitis. I attempted to make contact with the organizer/teacher the night before when he first presented with sudden onset symptoms without success as the email was not manned.

I have since been informed that he is not able to reschedule his class so I have wasted almost $250 through no fault of mine. While I understand that the place could not be filled at short notice, I am disappointed that there is no credit available for a future course.

I have a medical certificate to show that his illness is genuine and my son is unable to attend school for this whole week. Not attending the class on Saturday was the responsible thing to do for the safety of all participants.

I hope that this policy can be reviewed, particularly given the current health crisis.

Can't wait until the next class.

Sadly workshop wasn't what we were expecting. Was very slow moving, we were provided with wrong finish time, and even though workshop was extended we still didn't do much of the interesting work promoted in the workshop outline. Teacher was lovely, but class didn't have much structure.

I really enjoyed the Botanicals water colour painting class today. Shippi was a lovely teacher, very encouraging, explaining all the techniques clearly, and she took time to help us all individually.
Paints, brushes and paper were all provided. It was a relaxed, friendly environment, and it was nice to chat with other people while we painted. It was my first time learning to paint and I definitely have learnt some new skills today.
Location was easy to find, plenty of street parking on a Saturday.
Overall an enjoyable experience, I look forward to attending further water colour classes.
Thanks.

Aletheia Rosario Mar 2022


My friend and I enjoyed it! There were bits of setback at the start because the room wasn't prepared fully and the room was changed last minute, but when we were going through the material and practising our strokes, the lecture flowed. The feedback was very immediate. I was able to adjust my technique immediately. Frankly speaking, I have been handlettering for a long time already, but it was a hobby that I trained myself in with practise. Going through the drills produced immediate results and improved how I do my calligraphy. My friend was a complete beginner and she said that the lesson was a good starter into handlettering.

Annette and Louise are both fantastic teachers who know their stuff and make it a fun learning environment. Class size was perfect, great venue and easy parking. We were taken through each stage with lots of support and everyone was able to get the project completed in the allotted time - with an early mark if you don't chat too much haha. Really encouraging to know that you don't need to invest in a workshop of upholstery tools to complete projects. The teachers will answer any and all questions on all of those chairs at home you've been wanting to recover but didn't know how. Definitely give this one a go!

There was so much fantastic information in this course, it was great. The one downside is that for some reason I thought it was a one-hour once-off class and it was actually 6x 2.5 hour classes! This was completely my misunderstanding, but it meant I accidentally had other things going on during one of the classes

For a beginner, morning project was great. I thought afternoon was too complex and i became tired and disheartened.
Benue: lift was out of order, which i reported. But ‘emergency’ number was unanswred first call! What if i had actually been stuck?!
Also, the lift has been out of order for all of the 4 weeks I’ve been attending the school!

Martha Maroon Feb 2022


My teacher Tian was awesome!
We got off a little late because some other people came in late and we had to readjust the tables to fit them in and the others wanted the windows open and air conditioning on so then she had to accommodate them so we did start the class about 15 minutes late.
The lesson it self was very good, but it wasn’t the right class for me. I was looking for a bouncing brush stoke technique which Tian was very kind and stayed back and showed me her method of brush stoke. She advised the knowledge from the lesson will help me achieve this by practicing. I probably should have asked for more information about the lesson before I committed to it. I, personally didn’t find the class gained me any benefit in my style of handwriting for the amount of money the lesson cost.

This was one of the best Zoom classes I’ve attended! The only thing I wish had been different is that we should have been provided with the proper masks to wear while working with resin. We all made do with masks we had at home, but it would have been better if we’d had the proper ones (even if the class had to be a few $ more expensive, or maybe it could be an optional add-on).
I loved the range and amount of pigments that were included in our kits!
Monica was fantastic, she knew so much and I’m so excited to see my pieces when they’re finished curing

Richard is a seasoned filmmaker, having worked on various known brands his knowledge in the industry is amazing.

This was an extensive workshop spread across 4 Saturdays (3.5 hours) and I am really glad I opted for this. We covered the behind the scenes (pre-production) of making a short film where we got to do some hands on exercises on Screenwriting, Storyboarding, Shot Planning and Location scouting.

The venue, Sydney Community College was really nice with all the modern equipments and nice classrooms for this indoor workshops. We are also going to use the venue to shoot the short film in February 2022.

I have already the booked the 2nd part of this Workshop which is for Shooting the Short Film (February 2022) where we will get to learn about Direction, Cinematography, Editing and Post Production side of things about making a short film as well as other necessary documentation part in Filmmaking industry.

Recommended for anyone interested in knowing the process of making a film along with practical aspects of actually working on a student short film.

A++ in my book.

Rose-Marie was good but hard to hear as there was a music class next door and we had trouble hearing her a lot. We were given material to read on design and some do's and don't's when decorating.
I was expecting more on new techniques and what's in right now. But Rose-Marie did help us with what to put in a room and where for best looks.

Interesting class but not much more than I already knew.

Initially I was nervous to try this class as it's such a foreign type of craft for me but the teacher was beyond patient, guided us beautifully and I learnt so much about bookbinding (including some of each types of history and origins). The materials in the box were such high quality and the final products are beautiful, mistakes and all (in my opinion worth the higher price).

I'm also impressed with the fact that you leave the class with 3 books that are made to keep or gift.

My only feedback would be that at some times it was a little fast, but if you speak up the teacher gave time or repeated instructions to accomodate this.

I’ve done the first class so far. I did this class on an iPad, and did not know we had to print off the reference materials for the class. It would help to give people notice they need two screens (one for the teachers demonstration camera and the other for the notes) or to have the materials printed off. Since the notes where essential, they could have been posted with the kits for those (like me) who don’t own a printer. Other than that, it was good.

Sally is a beautiful person and teacher, it was a lovely friendly environment, I enjoyed my afternoon. Teaching and communication has taken on a new approach with the advent of utube teaching, which is usually demonstrating, direct, and, loaded with information bites tied down to principles. This type of approach is a beautiful way to escalate learning
that involves every one regardless of medium.

It was a small class of 6. The place was neat and clean. The teacher laid out the necessary papers and accessories for us.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Rosemary Jasic Dec 2020


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 great.
Not all the material I was asked to buy beforehand were used.
I would have appreciated some more technique teaching

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

DIY Resin Jewellery review by Felicia Wong -

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.

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!

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.

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. You’re a gem, truly. And thank you Sydney Community College for putting together these classes. Can’t praise it enough.

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!

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.

Jehna Liddle Feb 2020


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.

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.
