What a gem of a class! We booked this collage workshop as a birthday gift for two of our friends, and it was such a lovely experience. I have absolutely zero creative skills, so this was my first timeWhat a gem of a class! We booked this collage workshop as a birthday gift for two of our friends, and it was such a lovely experience. I have absolutely zero creative skills, so this was my first time trying collaging, and I absolutely loved it! The birthday girls loved it too! Mina gave us such clear instructions and offered wonderful suggestions throughout, while still giving us the freedom to experiment and make something of our own. The atmosphere was so warm and encouraging, and the materials were fantastic - so many beautiful things to spark inspiration. Honestly, I can’t recommend this class enough. It was such a fun, wholesome, and creative way to spend time together. I might just have to start hoarding magazines and experimenting with collaging at home now!:) + more

We attended the pottery painting class, and there was a great selection of pieces to choose from, including mugs, bowls, and plates. The class started right on time, and we had such a lovely experience from start to finish! My boyfriend booked this as a birthday gift for me, and I think it’s safe to say we’re both going to become addicted to pottery painting now! I highly recommend this class, especially if you’re looking for a relaxing, creative experience in a lovely, zen atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back! + more

This was a really great time. It was really easy for the gift card. I got this as a gift for my brother we both went and had an absolute blast. It would be a good gift for any level of paintingThis was a really great time. It was really easy for the gift card. I got this as a gift for my brother we both went and had an absolute blast. It would be a good gift for any level of painting experience the tutor really adapts to you. I was looking for a painting class but we didn't want to do the paint and sip party, not really my scene. This was super good. We both have left with a really nice painting each. Would definitely recommend. It was a little cold so maybe bring a good jumper they provide a covering for you. + more

This was a really great class. I've never done Lino Printing before, but the class is suitable for all skill levels and is taught very clearly. A great idea for presents / gift crads for others.
