This class was a gift for my husband and me, and we had such a great time! We were a little worried beforehand because we’re not drinking at the moment and thought we might miss out on half the experience.This class was a gift for my husband and me, and we had such a great time! We were a little worried beforehand because we’re not drinking at the moment and thought we might miss out on half the experience. Instead, we were able to join in by making some delicious mocktails. The dumpling making was so much fun. We learnt heaps of tips and tricks, from simple folding techniques through to more advanced styles. The instructor explained everything so clearly that it was easy to follow along. I also loved that we made far more dumplings than I expected! Once we’d finished, they cooked them three different ways (steamed, pan-fried and deep-fried) so we got to taste the different textures and flavours. There were so many that we couldn’t even finish them all! The host was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and great at breaking everything down into simple, easy to understand steps. I’d absolutely recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun date night. + more

I loved the chance to be creative and in a space that it didn’t matter if you made a mess. It was given to me as a gift and my son and I had a great time making some unique art work we can keep forever. + more

Teacher went above and beyond to see we had a great time. Cannot recommend enough if you're thinking of attending. Great value for money - purchased as a birthday gift experience for two and was an amazing gift that we will get to enjoy for many years now. Cosy studio space was warm and comfy (and it was raining and freezing on the day). Genuinely surprised by how well the mosaic lamps turned out. You are making it and thinking 'i'm not sure how good this looks'. Finally, once you've grouted and cleaned and wiped and its dry, you get to see and enjoy the end result of your hard work; an amazing looking lamp that just blows you away. 10/10 class. Give it a go you won't be disapppointed. Thanks for the experience Artistic Vibes, we love our lamps!! + more

Mark was super easy to organise with, and even accommodated for my anniversary idea of having a larger custom tree to share with my partner rather than two individual trees. Simi and Aybike were lovely and made the whole experience super memorable. They demonstrate first, and then you are hands-on and give it a go yourself. They were very encouraging and never hesitated to jump in and help when we were stuck. It does feel a bit daunting at first, and I wouldn’t expect your first bird to be perfect, but that is what made it so much fun! Each bird is unique and we got to choose the colours and patterns for them. They explained that the tree base is made from glass scraps from their studio, and the wooden base is sourced from the wood shop downstairs. It was super cool to know! We left the experience with big smiles on our faces, and a beautiful tree to take home. I definitely made a few birds I was really proud of, and my boyfriend loved his experience gift. I’d definitely recommend this for couples, friends or even singles looking to be crafty or learn a new skill. This is a wonderful and supportive environment to learn in. We will definitely be back for another workshop (hopefully some glass fruit and veg?). + more

I love that the products used are all natural, and feel so great on the skin. I love to use them for ourselves and as gifts for friends and family. Would definitely recommend for all. + more

This was my first woodturning class and what a buzz. My dad was a carpenter and had all the equipment and tools to make furniture but I was never interested in learning but I’m 50 now and my creative juices are flowing. Alma is an amazing teacher and guide she helped me make a candle holder and I feel like I have accomplished something dad would be proud of. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to do something different as this is a dying trade. Thankyou alma I had an amazing experience. Gratefully stephen + more

What you should gift on Valentine's Day in Melbourne
In a world of material possessions, our Melbourne Valentine's activities offer something far more valuable: memories. When you choose an experience over a traditional gift, you're creating opportunities for connection and quality time. Whether you learn to throw clay on the wheel or solder silver at a jewellery-making class, you'll leave with unique stories to reminisce about for years to come. Not sure which Valentines ideas are right for your partner? Consider these tips when choosing an experience from our selection of Valentine's day events in Melbourne:
-
Know your partner's interests: Choose an experience that aligns with their passions. If your boyfriend loves Italian food, a fitting Valentine's gift for him is a gnocchi or pasta making class.
-
Consider your relationship stage: New couples might prefer relaxed social activities while long-term partners might enjoy more intimate experiences.
-
Think about comfort and energy levels: Some people love being centre stage while others prefer more low-key date ideas. If you girlfriend is the life of the party, a fun Valentine's gift for her is a cocktail-making class.
-
Respect your budget: Not everyone wants to spend big bucks on Valentine's Day – and that's okay! Find an experience gift that aligns with your financial goals.
The beauty of experience-based gifts is that they continue to give long after the day is over. No matter what you choose, the skills you learn, the laughs you share, and the memories you create will become part of your shared story. (Cute!) Valentine's Day in Melbourne is about so much more than traditional romance. It's about connection, creativity, and shared experiences. Whether you're crafting a ceramic piece, mixing cocktails or learning how to make mosaics, you're creating memories that will last far beyond Feb 14th.
