Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
Birthday gift from family did not disappoint. Brandon and Lee were super welcoming, knowledgable and very kind. The venue was very chilled. Every step was explained and help was always at hand. Lots of nice like minded people so don’t be afraid to attend alone. Good value for money. I really enjoyed the process of Kintsugi from picking my bowl right through to finish. All materials included along + more

Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
I booked this as a birthday present for a friend and we both LOVED IT. Brandon was a great teacher, he was super patient and made the space feel very comfortable. I would recommend this activity to everyone I know, great way to spend a couple of hours in a mindfulness activity where you can focus and be creative and get a beautiful end result!
Del Ganly
It was a Xmas present for my Wife +1 (me) We both really enjoyed it, the teacher was a good laugh and amazingly, remembered everyone's names from the start! Our new silver rings look fantastic and our friends are now booked on the next course because they were so impressed of our great time. All materials and tools are included in the price, and Spitalfields is well worth a visit anyway

Couples Wheel Throwing Workshop and Challenge
We attended the couples pottery workshop as a present for my husband. It was really good fun and Angela was a great teacher. We managed to make 4 pots in an hour, and even managed to make some as a team. The session was nice and intimate so we had Angela's expertise for the whole time. I found the hour flew by, it would have been nice to be a bit longer! Angela also offered to take photos of the session + more

This was a birthday gift from some friends. I loved it. It was a sip and paint class where we painted the Northern Lights. The teacher was brilliant, so patient and kind and gave clear instruction. Materials were spot on and the venue was really good. The time flew by. Was great to connect to some creativity in a warm and friendly environment.
Chloe Day
Myself and my friend went as a birthday present to a Sip and Paint class. The class was relaxed and our teacher Sophia was brilliant. We had everything we could possibly need and the drinks were easily accessible. Sophia gave us step by step advice which was easy to follow as well as coming around to help us 1:1 on certain aspects of our painting. We had a fabulous time and we’re really pleased with + more

I bought the introduction to table top making course as a gift for my partners birthday. Dan was really informative, thorough, knowledgeable and funny! The venue was fantastic, a lovely studio set on the Thames, with lots of light and really tidy and inspiring. The equipment was in good condition and we had access to so many tools. We mainly used the router, sander and circular saw. We were taught + more

Booked this for my cousins birthday as a gift because she’s in love with candles and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Met some lovely people there! The class was amazing, learnt so many facts about candle making. Host was so kind and inviting, definitely a must try

This experience was more than expected. A fantastic time was had. Louise has a gift not only in poetry making but also in her approach to teaching such a delicate skill to newbies. We enjoyed this so much the time went so fast. Will definitely be going back.
Dr May Myanmar
Excellent gift idea if wanting to do something more creative! Really enjoyed the class where we made mosaic mirrors. I only wish we had time to have some of the snacks as we were too focused on trying to finish the pieces. Depending on the idea for your mosaic piece you should factor in time for executing it as I think a few of us were focused alot of detail and trying to make our pieced look great + more

I bought this as a gift for my husband for Lunar New Year, and this was the earliest class that we could make together! Iris was such a patient, warm and attentive teacher and really good at explaining the history and heritage of this ancient art. We got to practising quite quickly using the paper and brushes provided, and I appreciated that Iris would come around and spend some time with each of us, + more

Classic Vegetarian Indian Cooking Class
This cooking course was a gift for my husband’s birthday, as he’s passionate about cooking. Steve made us feel very welcome into his home and he had a great set up for cooking. All the ingredients provided were fresh and of quality. We learnt lots of tips and tricks to get the best out of your curries and how we can alter them to make many more dishes at home. We also learnt about all the different + more

Silver Earring Making Workshop
Such a brilliant day with Charlotte! I bought the earring workshop for two people as a gift and we both already had ideas on what we wanted to make. Charlotte was so knowledgeable and happy to try new and different ideas so our visions were happily fulfilled. Really fun day, I’ll be recommending the workshop to everyone!

Fused Glass Workshop: Dichroic Mosaic Pendant
It was a Christmas gift from my husband's mum who since giving it to us, has passed away. So it was really lovely to have enjoyed the workshop and have a beautiful keepsake to remember her. Well set up & prepared space, good choice of coloured glass, helpful instruction. We all finished just after an hour so it would have been nice to possibly make another one to use more of the 2 hrs. Not sure what + more
Kiera Gould
Received this experience as a gift and wasn’t sure what to expect but it was great! Something really different, and very good value. We were provided with lots of drinks and snacks while we had a very clear demonstration of what we were making, and were able to take home two pots and a plant each. Highly recommended.
David Livens
Loved this, Joan the lady taking the class was so patient and good at what she does, I had 2 goes on the potters wheel 1st time ever. Joan centred the clay for me then let me have a play to get a 'feel' for how it works, this was great, the second time I made this pot on the wheel which I was amazed me totally. We also had a go at slab making pots with a few tools and I made 2 pots and a lid, loved + more

When it comes to birthday gifts for mum, your gift could help her find her love of flower arranging or ignite her interest in candle making. It could help her to fill those evenings when she’s looking for fun things to do at home, with a hobby she really loves. Our public classes could even help her to meet new friends or a community of like-minded others. When you give an experience as a gift, the possibilities are endless and the memories, unforgettable.
