The class was a good size to allow for direct assistance from our teacher if needed and she made it very fun and interactive - the best way to learn is to have a go! We were supported to make any shape/vessel we wanted and both came out with pieces we’re proud of! Would highly recommend this course! + more

The teachers are really clear when going through the steps and are really attentive during the class, checking on everyone's progress. I really liked that the teachers ask whether we're happy with the final product and help us achieve our desired designs. The class was a perfect gift for Mother's Day and it was lovely to attend as a group. + more

I walked in knowing very little and walked out with a whole new appreciation for herbal teas and a bag of my own custom blend. Tatjana has a real gift for making the subject accessible and fun - her enthusiasm is infectious. The range of herbs on offer was impressive and the freedom to experiment and follow your own instincts made it feel genuinely creative rather than just a lecture. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming throughout. Already thinking about coming back to try a different blend combination. Highly recommend as a gift or just a treat for yourself! + more
