• 5/5 from Selea Griffiths, attended Jul 2024: Stacey was great fun! I Would definitely Atake this class again. Thanks for the rug!
• 4/5 from Brook Powell, attended Jul 2024: The class teacher was fabulous and super helpful. We were promised post class information that I’ve never received. My son & I did enjoy the opportunity
• 5/5 from Casey Shelton, attended Jun 2024: Stacey was a great instructor - supportive and positive, and I felt she shared her time evenly which was great. Helena worked miracles on my rug and patched the holes which I was super grateful for. As someone who is not creative at all (but is trying), I enjoyed my introduction to tufting. Thank you ️
• 4/5 from Leah Dunkley, attended Jun 2024: This was a great class as a beginner - everything was set up so we simply arrived and started our project. The only drawback with that is that you leave not knowing basics like how to set up your frame or what to know when doing yourself at home later. That said, the beauty of the class is that it allows you to try tufting out to see if you like it without all the hassles. Great teacher - Stacey was a legend and very approachable. You never feel stupid and the atmosphere was fun and encouraging. Highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Max Pickering, attended May 2024: What a fun class! Stacy was a wonderful teacher. She made the whole rug tufting experience just a joy.

• 5/5 from Rebecca Darby, attended Feb 2024: I bought my friend a ClassBento gift voucher for her birthday last year and she wanted to do the tufting workshop so I joined her. Helena was a wonderful instructor - clear and concise and friendly. The steps for doing our rugs were easy to follow and I loved the finished product. The class was definitely good value for what we received - all materials, a day and a half of workshop, the instructor's expertise. We would do it again. Thanks Helena!

• 5/5 from Sara, attended Oct 2023: A fantastic class run by Helena who shared her tips and tricks brought about by extensive experience working with the medium. It was great to get advice on best materials and tools to use if you were thinking about doing this at home and every hands on demo was clear and easy to follow. The space itself was great and welcoming and there were snacks and a tea/coffee station if you needed some extra energy while tufting. Helena also roamed around the room pretty regularly and was really great at troubleshooting! Also she was more than happy to help you out with achieving your chosen design and helping tuft/trim. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to start up tufting at home or even looking for a great one-off tufting experience!

Definitely recommend!
• 5/5 from Prue Myerson, attended Sep 2023: Helena the teacher was Amazing, very good at explaining and assisting, friendly and warm hearted.

• 5/5 from Olivia Flower, attended Sep 2023: I was gifted this class for my birthday as I’ve already wanted to learn how to tuft but I didn’t want to spend the money on equipment and find I didn’t like it! Helena was LOVELY and so generous with her knowledge and advice throughout the process - I appreciated her honesty when it came to getting into the craft (expenses/things to consider) and her obvious passion and excitement for the craft was contagious. Incredible communication before and after the class, and I’m so excited to come back and try some other workshops at the venue!

• 4/5 from Katherine Jackman, attended Aug 2023: Class was good but there was not a lot of assistance after the initial intro. Teacher was not available much to ask questions. Also lot of focus was on where to buy supplies moving forward which seemed unnecessary.
• 5/5 from Nicola Hogan, attended Jul 2023: Terrific course. Helena was an absolute legend - patient, knowledgeable and created a really nice, relaxed vibe for everyone. Perfect balance of instruction and leaving you to it. Can't believe we made the whole rug in a day and a half! Was really happy w final product, despite being a total beginner. Am hooked now. The space was also lovely and the resident artist/doggy was awesome. Did it with a mate but could also easily be done solo. Highly recommended.

• 5/5 from Cindy Chan, attended May 2023: The class was fantastic and super fun, Helena the instructor is very knowledgeable and kept the class ticking along at a good pace. Myself and 3 friends came away with gorgeous looking rugs Some tips as a newbie - If you have long hair, make sure you tie it up - Print out a design to the dimensions of the rug beforehand so you can trace it on the canvas. - Pick a design that’s not too complicated with lots of detail work …and have fun!

• 5/5 from Alina Jackson, attended Apr 2023: Helena was an amazing teacher and the class was such an enjoyable experience. I found the class easy to follow and we were able to get right into making the rug without too much fuss. Although the hobby is an expensive endeavour, it was a really fun experience getting to create a unique piece of work from the ground up and getting to complete all of it ourselves. Thank you Helena and ClassBento for putting on this amazing workshop
• 5/5 from Clare Steeper, attended Apr 2023: This is a fantastic class and I highly recommend it. Everything you need is provided and the range of colours you can choose is great. Helena explained everything clearly and even gave us information on what we need to get/ look out for if we decide to set yourselves up to do it at home in the future. I went in thinking it would be harder than it was and it didn’t take long to feel comfortable doing it. It’s quite the workout though especially the first day. My arms and feet were very sore but it was more than worth it. Thanks Helena
• 5/5 from Tim Plester, attended Apr 2023: It was a really good and informative workshop about Rug Tufting. The teacher was very helpful and knowledgeable
• 5/5 from Julie Nguyen, attended Mar 2023: I had a blast learning how to tuft with Helena! All tufting materials were provided, well organised and set up for both day 1 and day 2. Helena was friendly and fun to learn from as she shares so many hot tips for tufting! (I learned so much, ahhhhh) It was a definitely a work out using the tufting guns, but when you see the end product (a finished rug) *chef's kiss*. Already excited to get into tufting more in future! Thanks so much Helena :)
• 5/5 from Nanette McCallum, attended Mar 2023: A very enjoyable and satisfying workshop in a lovely locale. The teacher was extremely clear with her instructing and guided all the students effectively to success with making their own unique and lovely rugs.
• 4/5 from Barbara Ngai, attended Mar 2023: Teacher was good and very helpful. It would have been good to get information before the class, we were asked to bring an idea and given dimension of piece. Provision of yarn and cloth and gun provided, it would have been great to have spools for yarn as indicated in photos to stop tangling! Enjoyable experience.
• 5/5 from Nicole Capper, attended Feb 2023: Loved this workshop! Helena was a fantastic teacher and the environment was very welcoming. Had a lovely weekend and would highly recommend this workshop

• 5/5 from Patrice Ventura, attended Feb 2023: The rug tufting workshop with Helena was fab! the instructor, venue, materials and vibe were all great. I would have loved for the second day to run a bit longer to allow more time to finish off a few more things. Perhaps an aircon as well but all up was good!
• 5/5 from Alice Oehr, attended Feb 2023: Helena was a great teacher. We managed to achieve a fantastic result over the weekend and she shared all her knowledge with us. She was very generous and the end result is really cool.
• 5/5 from Roxy, attended Dec 2022: Helena Is such an inviting and patient teacher where no question is too silly or problem too hard to solve. The class was relaxed, informative, and very enjoyable. I can't wait to apply all the knowledge I've acquired to start my next tufting project. Oh and Shasha the dog is such a darling :-)
• 5/5 from Roxann Maries, attended Dec 2022: Helena was great! Super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The class was fun and I’m hooked. Just want to make more now!
• 3/5 from Svetlana Volochina, attended Dec 2022: The teacher was friendly and patient, however inappropriately dressed as a teacher. She was wearing very short blouse with fully exposed tummy and back also very tight jeans. I felt uncomfortable. Another thing, when the front of the rug was completed and we had to do backing, teacher offered for everyone only black, unhemmed material, which looked very messy. For my blu and white rug this backing material was unsuitable and teacher had nothing white. I unfinished my work and planning to finish it at home using my own white backing. I hope that my review will be helpful for other students and the teacher.
