Recent reviews of Creative Art Class for Hens Parties

  • 5/5 from Vicki Zhong, attended Oct 2026: We booked this terrarium workshop for a hen’s party and had such a great time! The team was incredibly flexible and responsive throughout the booking process, and even though we ended up arriving quite late to the workshop, they were so understanding and accommodating. Our teacher was fantastic -- really friendly, patient and knowledgeable. She answered all our questions about how to care for our plants and explained what each of the different elements was for, which made it really easy to follow along. The atmosphere was very chill and fun, which made it a perfect activity for our group. We honestly had a lot more fun than we expected and loved getting to make our own terrariums. Would definitely recommend this workshop for a group activity or special occasion!
  • 4/5 from Marlee Crawford, attended Aug 2026: Great teacher and easy to organise, so thankful that they could fit us in after a last minute cancellation from another ClassBento provider. Only improvement could be communication on painting choice but had a fantastic time nonetheless :)
  • 3/5 from Amy Stubberfield, attended Mar 2026: We recently booked a hens party paint and sip with Artea Art School, and overall it was a mixed experience. On the day, Jasmine and her assistant were lovely and created a relaxed atmosphere. We loved that the session wasn’t rushed, so we could chat and enjoy ourselves. They also made an effort to make the space feel nice with flowers, matching tablecloths and aprons, which we appreciated. However, the lead-up was quite stressful. Communication was slow and inconsistent, and at times it felt like details of our booking had been forgotten. We were also waiting a long time for confirmation on food options, which added to the uncertainty. A big reason we chose this experience was the original venue, Roxy’s Event Space, which looked beautiful and perfect for a hens party. Unfortunately, just three days before, we were told it had changed to Golden Gate Hotel. While nearby, it had a completely different atmosphere, which was disappointing. The food options also differed, and again we had to follow this up ourselves. Overall, the communication and organisation felt unprofessional and created a lot of uncertainty and stress in the lead-up. That said, we do appreciate that a refund was provided for one guest who couldn’t attend. A fun activity on the day, but the organisation and communication could definitely be improved.
  • 5/5 from Penelope Gray, attended Aug 2025: The paint and sip we did for a Hens party was super fun! The atmosphere and venue at ARTea was great, staff were friendly, accommodating and helpful from the time of booking to the actual event. Would highly recommend it as a venue for a party or just fun activity with friends.
  • 5/5 from Melissa Tien, attended Sep 2024: Great class, good value for money! We were given some basic advice/tips and then had free reign to make whatever we wanted with the clay. The venue was also nicely decorated with areas for photo ops. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun Hens activity!
  • 4/5 from Rachel Geerling, attended Aug 2024: Excellent set up, we all had a great time. Could’ve used more instruction and guidance from the class leader.
  • 4/5 from Huda Ashraf, attended Dec 2023: Venue, experience and service were all excellent! However the high tea was a huge let down. In fact it was not really a high tea. It was more of a spread. I'd recommend Artea to improve pon this aspect and to increase the duration of the class to 3 hours. Other than that our group was very pleased!
  • 3/5 from Sarah Duke, attended Nov 2023: It was a beautiful set up and decorated with fairy lights and had a bar. The drinks were nice.
  • 5/5 from Maddy Wright, attended Apr 2023: Great vibe, set up and staff! Can’t recommend enough. Accommodated every need and went above and beyond
  • 5/5 from Sarah McDougall, attended Mar 2023: The teacher was fantastic, she was very clear and gave positive feedback. There was a bit of a mix up around what class we was doing and how many where attending but they where quick to get this sorted and offered us some bubbles which was a nice touch.
  • 5/5 from Megan Blair, attended Nov 2022: We really enjoyed the beautiful space the Artea offered, the drinks and the clay making itself was so much fun! The teacher also brought such a fun energy to the group it made everyone so comfortable!
  • 5/5 from Tabitha Burr, attended Oct 2022: Teachers were excellent and the venue was decorated beautifully. Materials supplied were of high quality and amenities were of a high standard and clean. Both ladies went above and beyond for a wonderful experience from the very moment we exited our limo
  • 5/5 from Deepthi Mattigiri, attended Jul 2022: Awesome experience! Helen was very friendly and professional in her work. Highly recommend for any occasion!
