Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
Really enjoyed the workshop. It was a surprise present for my boyfriend’s birthday who had a great time. The class was pitched perfectly and was accessible while still offering a little bit of a challenge. This all was definitely helped by Brandon whose expertise and charisma really made the experience. The studio space was lovely and created a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely + more

Wheel Throwing Class for Beginners
The class was a birthday present from my daughter. Sharon was a teacher with a lot of patience and explained everything clearly. The venue and materials were good. Not easy to get to without a car, so we got a taxi. Loved the whole experience, and will do it again.

French Patisserie Baking Class
My girlfriend got me this amazing Masterclass as a birthday gift and honestly it was by far the best gift I could have wanted.

The masterclass by Valeria was spectacular from beginning to end. She explained every step and method and also with the addition + more

We mainly used the router, sander and circular saw. We were taught + more

Pottery Wheel Taster Class - Date Edition
This was a present for my boyfriend and we finally did it this Saturday - it was wonderful! The little studio, tucked in the back of a lovely Hungarian Restaurant has a relaxed at-home feel. We came in and got straight to work with Mihaly giving a quick yet instructive intro and all the help and tips we needed along the way. We both ended up making 6 pieces, which clearly showed our progression as + more

A really enjoyable afternoon with Nono. Unbelievably hard to do a simple flower arrangement but with her guidance managed to produce something passable with her beautiful flowers! A wonderful teacher who has shed light on the art of Ikebana and a great birthday present for me.

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
Eden Blakeman
We had Elena as our teacher and she was great - super nice and interactive. It was a guided painting class so we essentially watched her paint something step by step and copied, but she also gave us the artistic freedom to make changes. I did this with my brother as a present for him and it was really nice to spend time together painting!
Charlotte
