We attended the kokedama class as a birthday present and it was a wonderful experience. The process was well-explained, along with a lot of advice on technique, care, and suggestions on how to decorate with the kokedama once we brought them home. We went home with four kokedama and an eagerness to learn more — would definitely recommend the class to others!

Make Your Own Silver Ring Workshop
The experience has been extremely lovely. This is our first time getting to know how rings are made and getting involved in hands on experience. Hee Cho was warm, friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend anyone who wants to make a special gift or create an unique memory with your cared one.
Shakira Branch
Thank you so much for such a wonderful class. I purchased this for a graduation present for my friend & I to do together, and it was so nice to get creative and switch off for the night. And thank you to Liana for teaching us such great watercolour skills - you are an excellent teacher

Discussion progressed through the basic (but often unknown) smartphone features, many of the 10 aspects of composition and then included many of the skills of enhancement to present a resultant image that would impress any Social Media user. Further comments on control of ISO and exposure settings together with commentary on still life, abstract and landscapes, (in addition to the street portraits and architecture) would enhance the presentation. A session outcome that has certainly changed my 'click and hope' photography to give me the awareness of a better 'click and presentation' After only 3 hrs attached photos from MEL with additional personal photographs from with learnings from this day + more

My husband and I enjoyed this soy candle making workshop at Handmaker’s Factory. This was our Christmas gift for each other. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. It’s good to be able to bring the finished candle projects home and light them up to enjoy it. Nicole is a very good teacher.

Hand Building Ceramics Class and Sangria
Fantastic class and teacher. This was a gift from my daughter in which we both attended. A truly fun and therapeutic atmosphere. Highly recommend
Mala Desai
I did the class with my son as a gift for his birthday - he loves all things Italian. The gnocchi recipe was simple and delicious. Enjoyed the class which was practical and the presenter gave great tips and was very approachable too! Best of all the gnocchi was delicious - have recommended the class to all my friends and family - some even who live overseas given they can log in via Zoom!
Qaisara Mohamad
We made soy scented candles and it was a very welcoming and informative private class! My first class with handmaker's factory and with classbento. It really was an amazing experience and ended up being a nice gift which mum appreciates :)
Ashlee Bellamy
Myself and a friend took part in an abstract painting class on Saturday morning. It was a 30th birthday present to get creative and try something new. On arrival we felt very welcomed and entered a lovely calm and friendly environment. Our teacher was Andrea and she was fantastic! I am definitely not a painter and she made me feel confident in what I was doing and encouraged my ideas and helped me when I was a little stuck. There were so many different paints, colours and utensils to get different layers and texture on our canvas.

I would highly recommend ClassBento to get creative and to try something out of your comfort zone. I am excited to paint again. Thank you! + more

The teacher was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and thorough in explaining the process. They were also very present with everybody throughout the day. Very enjoyable workshop.

Hand Building with Clay Workshop
The class covered all the basic hand building techniques and Daisy was great at helping us utilise those techniques to realise our ideas to bring them into reality (of sorts!). While hours more practice would improve my end product - at least I now have Mother day's sorted gift wise!

Make Your Own Silver Ring Workshop
The teacher was excellent and very clear all the materials and tools were provided and I made a fabulous ring which was gift wrapped!
David Kidd
My workshop today was a Christmas gift from my husband and I really enjoyed the experience. The time was 10am to 1pm but I didn’t finish my piece until 2.30pm and was not rushed at all which I really appreciated. Merryl’s workspace, materials and facilities are wonderful I plan to attend again.

Essential Oil Blending and Perfume Workshop
This class was a birthday present for my daughter at her suggestion. Fabulous gift as it turns out! We had a tiny experience of essential oils but you don't need to as Cat gave an outline and demonstration of how to mix oils to give a pleasing outcome. We had plenty of time to experiment in the funky city fringe venue which was very adequate for the class. We had access to a vast array of oils to experiment with. It was a lot of fun. Perhaps related to exposure to the oils, and/or using under-used senses and right brain hemisphere, we were bothThis class was a birthday present for my daughter at her suggestion.

Polymer Clay Workshop: Statement Earrings
This is the second polymere clay class I’ve done and each time you learn something new. Sheree is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, the classes have a great atmosphere and you get to take home some of your own jewellery as well as a little gift box.
Erin Bishop
Hand Building with Clay Workshop
Great class for beginners and I’d love to do another. Daisy explained everything up front, and patiently helped us with questions (or fixing any issues!) throughout. The tumbler as a gift was a lovely bonus. Looking forward to seeing how my pieces turn out once they’re glazed and fired.

Nicola was very professional and helpful, and the wax tablets were quite easy to make. Great beginners class for gift making!

Hayley was excellent & it was lovely having interaction from other carers. Sadly my glass bowl arrived with a break in the side of it , plus broken plant. I enjoyed learning from Hayley today & if it is possible I would love to participate in the plant ball session , if that is ok. I loved seeing what the other ladies had made with their terrariums & I have lots of ideas to follow up on. Like visiting an op shop to source vessels & to involve my grandson in helping to create terrariums for gift making, when we are able to leave the house post Covid Kind thanks for the bright spot of my last few weeks.

Loved it, easy to follow, although a bit tricky at points. I got it as a present for mothers day and in turn for my mum for her mothers day. My mum is now obsessed, haha

If you think experience gifts are limited to adrenaline activities like skydiving and luxury yacht tours, then keep reading. Introducing ClassBento’s artisan range of workshop experience gift cards in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and beyond. Discover thousands of of arts, crafts and cooking workshops taught by some of Australia’s best local makers. Whether you’re searching for Christmas gift ideas, gifts for him, gifts for her, or even a gift experiences for couples, you’ll be able to find a unique experience present that will suit every type of personality. Send your mum to an Ikebana flower arranging class, there’s fluid art for kids, paper crafts workshops to hand make one year anniversary gifts, and pizza making classes the whole family will love.
If you're looking to gift an indoor activity, something to do at home, then our online classes (live streaming), with craft kit delivered, would be an excellent choice - and especially useful to gift and connect with those loved ones who live in regional parts of Australia.
Last minute gift
Our experience gift cards are also perfect as a last minute gift for Christmas, birthdays or anniversaries, as they're delivered instantly via email, with a nice PDF attachment that you can easily print off.Gifts for her (or him)
What are the first things that pop into your mind when you think of gifts for women? Flowers, chocolates, jewellery? Now forget all of those things! Break the tired stereotypes and surprise her (or him) with an artisan workshop experience that she’ll absolutely love. With a ClassBento workshop experience gift card the opportunities are endless. Screen print your own designs at a screen printing class in Marrickville, get creative making mosaics, head to a designer’s studio and learn the techniques of silversmithing, or take a kokedama workshop and bind your own hanging plant. Whether you’re in need of gift ideas for mum or unique birthday experiences for her there’s hundreds of options all across Sydney.Gifts for him (or her)
On the other hand, if you’re searching for birthday experiences for him and the usual gift ideas for men don’t seem like the right fit, try something different. There’s seafood bbq cooking classes, glassblowing workshops, abstract painting classes and even juggling classes taught by a gold medal juggler. When you purchase one of our experience gift cards, the giftee has the option to book in a class and time that suits them. Our workshop experience gift cards mean that you can stop flicking through the gifts for men catalogue pages trying to guess what he (or she) will love, and let them choose.
Gifts for couples
Shared experiences make the heart grow fonder, and in the case of gifts for couples, an artisan workshop experience could be just what a pair needs to take time out and reconnect. Experience vouchers allow the couple to choose a customised workshop experience. If the occasion is 50th birthday presents and they’re looking for a social group session they can book into a public workshop. While for romantic wedding anniversary gifts, there’s the option for private lessons which can be held at a venue of their choice.Experience gifts for kids
Not to forget the little ones, you’ll also find hundreds of classes for kids on ClassBento. Forget pink if you’re looking for gifts for girls, and treat her to a chocolate making class or an epic drumming workshop. There’s experience gifts for toddlers like hula hooping and portable circus workshops, and hundreds more birthday experience ideas that will teach your kids not to value things. But rather, time spent with friends and family learning something new and having fun!
