This class was truly amazing, featuring a teacher who is wonderfully humble and welcoming. My daughter was delighted to create an earring with her own hands. It was a really worthwhile experience for us both. Really recommend that.


Amira Khan Attended Aug 2026



Absolutely loved this workshop! The teacher was amazing and so so kind. She explained the whole process well and helped my friends and I every step of the way. Some of the steps were a little tricky but the teacher was so patient with us and even helped us when we got stuck, gave us tips on which flowers would look nice and where to place them inside our domes. She also took so many beautiful pictures whilst we were busy making our domes. Overall, 10/10 and would definitely want to come back to do this again!

Sharon Waterson Attended Aug 2026



I took my mum to the Japanese Shimenawa Workshop for her birthday this week and what a lovely afternoon out it proved to be. The teacher, Wendy, was so inviting and friendly and skilled. She had great patience with me as I struggled with one part and we never felt like there wasn’t enough time to get things just how we wanted them. She was able to answer all our questions about the practice and took sone lovely photos for us on our phones so we had something else to help remember the day. The materials we used were of a fantastic quality and the end products just looked beautiful. We loved the relaxing atmosphere from the ambient background music to Wendy’s calming presence. We’ll definitely be back to do more crafts with Wendy.

We thoroughly enjoyed the fast-paced workshop. There were so many different options for you to personalise your piece to make it individual and unique to your tastes. The staff were friendly and helpful and even gave us some bottled water because of the heat. I will definitely look out for other workshops there!

It was a wonderul afternoon doing something creative.
With the summer solstice around the corner I wanted to create something to commemorate the longest day, the sun and optimism.
I am so glad I created the Shimenawa wreath to do just that.
Thankyou so much for making it a fun experience.

Ivana Krenicka Attended Jun 2026



This was a beautiful, creative, mindful experience from the get go. We arrived at the studio and it turned out me and my 3 friends had a mini private session: the studio is so wonderful, there’s music playing in the background and the atmosphere is super peaceful. The teacher is so lovely and patient, everything was explained so well and the experience was such great fun. The materials are so vibrant, there are lots of options to choose from and we could really see everyone’s personality shine through their creations! Would genuinely recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning something new. We ended up with four gorgeous wreaths. Thank you so much again!

An amazing class. We came to make a flower comb for my friend’s wedding day. The instructor was so patient and knowledgable and had so many flowers to choose from. Lots of times available to pick from which was great. We were the only people in the class so was really personal to us. In love with the final product!

This was a super fun workshop with a lovely teacher. Wide range of dried flowers, leaves and grasses. Good tips on how to achieve a pretty result. Would highly recommend. See pics below for my finished basket.


Kelky Zanettie Attended May 2026



It was simple enough to find. It’s a small unit within makers quarter. There was only my friend and I and the course itself took about 80 minutes. She was really helpful throughout. It’s by no means the hardest class to manage. We’ve been making Christmas wreaths elsewhere for years so I had some basic knowledge.
She is very self-explanatory, honest and fun. Definitely recommend to anyone with a little crafty experience or none at all.

Me and my sister had a really nice time, teacher was very helpful, it was a nice setting and we left with a beautiful piece!

Fantastic experience throughout. Our instructor was really amazing at teaching us how to weave together these beautiful bouquets. Her selection of flowers to choose from were also gorgeous, and she always went out of her way to make sure that we created something we loved.
We came out with gorgeous pieces that we can't believe we made ourselves. Highly recommended to give it a try!
