Silver Ring Making Workshop for Beginners
We had a fabulous day at the ring making workshop run by Liz from Silver Bird. The four of us fitted perfectly in the pretty little garden workshop, me & the wife/partners of my 3 sons.
Liz was warm & welcoming, providing excellent tuition and knowledge throughout the day. All materials and equipment we needed were available along with Liz's guidance on how too use them.

Liz was warm & welcoming, providing excellent tuition and knowledge throughout the day. All materials and equipment we needed were available along with Liz's guidance on how too use them.
We all started the day unsure and doubting our abilities but all of us ended up producing 3 lovely shiny rings which we were all proud to wear home!
Possibly the most magical part was the final polishing, taking a dull okish looking item and turning it into a lovely shiny piece of jewellery!
I think that the quality of the workshop, especially Liz's incredible knowledge, and the silver rings you get to take home, offers excellent value for money.
Thank you Liz for such a lovely & memorable day  + more

Beginner's Guide to Crochet
Attended the beginner crochet class and Ellie was a great teacher! As a total novice I was concerned that I wouldn't learn much in 90 minutes but I was wrong! Came away with a good foundation to work on and loved that you get all the kit to use and take away with you. Would highly recommend:)

My partner and I got a ClassBento voucher as a Christmas present and seemed perfect to spend it with our shared love for Italian cuisine. I went without knowing anything about the Chef and was a great surprise.
Host:
Our host, Chef Davide, was a charismatic and skilled instructor. His passion for pasta was infectious, and he created a warm and inviting atmosphere for us. He values the tradition and strives for fresh, high-quality products.
Venue:
Davide has a spacious and well-equipped kitchen. The ambiance was vibrant, and the aroma of fresh pesto is fixed on my mind.
The Class:
During the class, we learned the art of making pasta from scratch. Chef Davide guided us through the entire process, from selecting the right flour to mastering the techniques of kneading and rolling the dough. The class was both informative and interactive, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and receive personalized feedback.
Value for Money:
The experience was definitely worth the investment. Not only did we acquire valuable culinary skills, but we also enjoyed a memorable evening filled with laughter and delicious food. The price included all the ingredients, wine, equipment, desert and expert guidance from Chef Davide, making it a great value for money.
Highlights:
What we liked most about the class was the sense of accomplishment we felt after creating our own pasta from scratch. There's something incredibly satisfying about turning a handful of simple ingredients into a gourmet meal. Plus, we got to enjoy our creations at the end of the class, paired with homemade sauces and wine recommended by Chef Davide.
Overall, the pasta making class was a delightful experience that exceeded our expectations. We left feeling inspired to continue exploring the world of homemade pasta and eager to recreate the dishes we learned in our own kitchen. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and educational culinary experience.  + more

Beginner Sewing Course
A wonderful experience
The overall atmosphere was friendly, welcoming, and pretty chill. Our teacher, Esme, was very kind and patient (which I am so grateful for since I’m a bit slow and really bad at remembering instructions and thus kept repeating the same mistakes). I had a fun time learning the basics of a sewing machine and came out with a cute little pillow.
Thank you for the lesson

Sip and Paint Class
The teacher was friendly and helpful. All the materials were provided and I liked they gave you a bag to take the painting home. The class was fun I enjoyed being taken through each stage step by step which made it easy to follow. The venue was good, the music was a little bit loud from upstairs but you soon drowned it out. A fun afternoon event and I'm pleased with my final painting!

Beginner's Guide to Crochet

Our instructor, Lindsey, started us off with the very basics, how to start off, do a chain, double crochet, triple crochet, and how to finish off. She was very knowledgeable and if we didn't understand she took time to show us individually how to do it. She had a lovely relaxed, friendly and calmHad a great evening learning a new skill!

Pottery Making Taster Workshop
Something different to do on a week night. Really enjoyed it. Instructors were quite helpful and encouraging. It's a real studio so there's shelves full of mugs and vases and all sorts. They gave us clay and we each had a pottery wheel. Everyone was very lovely. Great music was playing throughout, definitely a fun class.

Beginners' Pottery Wheel Class
Suzan is a wonderful teacher and made Lucy and I very welcome to her studio. Even though we were true beginners she patiently showed us the key steps of throwing a pot. We learnt so much and produced 3 pots in the 2 hours. Nothing was rushed and we really enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend Suzan to you - you will love the chance to creative something unique in your 2 hours
