Everlasting Wreath Making Workshop
The event was a birthday present for with two of my friends. Our teacher was Vicki and she was excellent. She explained and demonstrated everything very well and was continuously helpful as we made our wreaths. She was very easy to talk to. The materials were good and the whole vent was good value for money. The venue was perfect, easy to find and very pleasant to spend time in.

Aromatherapy and Bath Crafts Workshop
It was brilliant such a lovely thing to do for mother’s day. There was only 4 of us which was great and as it felt you could ask questions to the teacher and felt very friendly. Definitely recommend great as a gift as well.

Parents and Kids' Doughnut Making Class
I got to go with my friend to this course as a birthday present from January so I was really excited and counting down to the day! It was just as amazing as I was expecting and as a baker anyway, I was keen to expand my skills. The teacher (Scott) was very knowledgeable and also good at making sure everybody was able to participate fully. My thanks to the team, such a great present.

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
Kadisha
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
Maria Costa
Textured Silver Ring Making Workshop
The silver ring class was a Xtmas gift from my daughters to me and my husband. The teacher was great. Very welcoming, very nice, funny, dynamic and very clear. The venue was a very cute little cafe, with very good food, with a bonus discount for work-shoppers. The materials were appropriate and well explained. I had a great experience!
King Enekeme
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.

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
Sara Hughes
This, my first, silver clay workshop was excellent. Rebecca is a fantastic teacher. her instructions and demonstrations were clear and easy to follow. I brought the class as a present for my mum and sister and we all really LOVED it, and had a great time. We left with beautiful pieces of jewellery and big smiles. I would highly recommend Rebecca's workshop.

Beautiful birthday present for my wife. The teacher was excellent, very dedicated, careful, supportive, always there to help and guide us.

We choose this sip and paint as a present for our friend’s birthday and we ended up going all together. We honestly had the best time! The instructor was lovely and helpful and we got some very nice paintings to decorate our flats!

Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
Brandon is an amazing teacher and instructor! He created a very easy and comfortable atmosphere where everyone knew what they were doing and felt guided and secure. His sense of humour and relaxed but focused attitude definitely made this a one of a kind experience! It was a birthday present for a friend and she absolutely loved it!
Julia Bridgwater
Ikebana Flower Arranging Workshop
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.

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
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
Rachael Fahey
Quite frankly, brilliant! A great experience, fantastic group and a truly wonderful teacher. The pace of the class and instruction were a perfect level and it was really great. I bought this for my Dad’s 71st birthday present and we had the best time. Thank you Gavin for being the perfect combination of fun, humour and patience!
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!
Surya Tahir
I really enjoyed the lesson, I learned loads and was able to make a unique candle to show off to the family. All the materials were provided. The host was excellent, informative and helpful. The venue was brilliant: very centrally located. There is a cafe selling food and snacks, as well as a gift shop downstairs.
Ivana Hodekova
Bendy Boy Candle Making Workshop
Amazing and fun class! Teacher was very knowledgable and always happy to help. Love my candles and will use them as extra little gift for my family. Would definitely like to do it again.
Marina
Christmas Wreath Making Workshop
Ewa is a great teacher and very friendly. She made us feel welcome and was very patient in answering all our questions. She offered tips to each one of us on how to make our wreaths turn out amazing. The venue was an adorable flower shop, very cosy and beautiful. There was Xmas music and a glass of bubbly or tea to add the festive touch. We all had fun and laughed together and it was a great experience. + more

Unforgettable birthday present ideas

Not only that but by giving a birthday gift experience, you could be giving them the gift of a new skill, passion or hobby - a gift that just keeps on giving. When it comes to unforgettable birthday present ideas, we think our selection of gift experiences has the potential for creating not just lifelong memories but also inspiring a new love of all things creative and crafty.
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.
