Girly night. Our teacher Caroline was awesome, and provided so much guidance and fun. Location was perfect and the value for money was awesome! Cannot wait to pick my pieces up. Will be back

Look at that beautiful pink board, and that was just the tester board. Well done!
I enjoyed having you in the workshop, your a beautiful ray of sunshine and I hope to see you again soon. Thanks for your kind review.

The best thing about this class is you go with nothing and at the end of the day you've learned the basic technic of applying resin like the ocean and waves + no clean ups and a week later have your own beautiful Resin Cheese Board.

Teacher's response

Hi Mikiko, Thank you so much for joining us to make the resin boards, it's so nice to see friends out together enjoying each others company and you did a fantastic job your boards look amazing. Congratulations!

It was my birthday, loved the class, easy to follow and Caroline was a great teacher.

Teacher's response

Thank you, Kara, for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your birthday class and found it easy to follow.

I bought this experience as a gift for my wife for Christmas. We had an absolute blast tonight making our resin boards and coasters. Carolyn was an amazing host and teacher who shared her knowledge and skills with us which made the whole experience even better. Great value for money not only as something different to do, but also we get to keep our artworks as a lasting memory. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great date night idea or a gift for someone special!

Sonia • Jan 2024


Lovely teacher and beautiful studio., we thoroughly enjoyed our first candle making experience and learnt a lot

Abigail Jamieson • Jan 2024


Carolyn was fantastic at teaching us all bout making our Soy Candles.
The class was small which was fantastic for asking lots of questions and getting lots of attention!
I can’t wait to light my candles.

Tikky Shearer • Jan 2024


I loved the macrame session, the course was well thought through, broken into easily-digestible chunks. Plenty of time to redo bits you wanted to fix and lots of opportunity to ask questions with Carolyn.
The venue was lovely, beautiful creative space, easy to find and lots of parking.
Thank you was good value, I’m ready to make many more hat hangers!

Penelope Brinsden • Dec 2023


We had such a lovely time and it was really a great opportunity to make something beautiful without having to be a skilled artist. Seriously considering doing it again.

Belinda Parish • Dec 2023


Wonderful day out, chilled environment that’s both educational and enjoyable!
The candles smell amazing and we are really thrilled with what we made.
The facilitator is a wonderful person and very knowledgeable.
