I went over to the 90s Inspired jewelry workshop on my birthday I ended up being the only one there because I picked an earlier slot (which turned out to be perfect for me). It was such a lovely time(I made a bracelet and a necklace)! I had so much fun, it was so relaxing and inspiring, plus I've gained a new hobby now! I get to show off my cute jewelry too, hehe. And Christina was soooo kind, she added on a few munchies and was so great to talk to, and I felt so celebrated. If you're thinking about going, yesss do it

Never thought that I would join a class like this but my friend told me about it and we were meant to go together but I ended up going there by myself. You know what? I actually enjoyed it and found it very therapeutic. It was an intimate class great for all age groups with clear instructions on how to create your own jewellery. It’s run by a very friendly and organised team. I will say it’s a bit pricey but still worth attending as you get to walk away with a one off design and feel proud afterwards.

A wonderful atmosphere of creativity and relaxation!
Christina is a very nice and attentive mentor in jewelry making. I made one necklace for myself, and now I wear it all the time, and another one as a gift, which I’m very happy about!
I will definitely come to the master class again and recommend it to everyone :)

1. The venue is beautiful, which is at the top floor in Battersea Power Station. There’s also free drinks and sweet treats.
2. The teacher Chenny and Christina are very nice and sweet as well. They are very patient and they provide all the materials for you to make up to 2 pieces of accessories.
3. The environment is very relaxing and chill. There’s no pressure for first timers. To be honest, I’m really glad to meet so many pretty girls. For me, it’s not only about making the accessories by myself, but also a chance to meet new people and have interesting conversations with them. Will definitely recommend it!

Booked as part of my 30th birthday celebrations and had an amazing afternoon with Christine and Chenny- both super lovely and friendly; it felt like an afternoon with friends. Really enjoyed making the pieces and enjoyed being given free rein to get creative! 3 hours was an appropriate length of time to make 2 pieces and the studio space is beautiful with nice views of Battersea and you get unlimited access to the on site bar. Studio is tricky to fine but Christine called ahead of time and met us and walked us over. Thank you Christine and Chenny and I look forward to attending more workshops in the future!
Teacher's response

Thank you for your fantastic review, we're thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing afternoon with Christina and Chenny. It's always our aim to make our workshops feel like a fun gathering with friends, so we're glad that's how it felt for you.
We're also delighted to know that you enjoyed the creative freedom and had a great time making your pieces. It sounds like the 3-hour timeframe was just right for you to complete two pieces, and we're glad you found the studio space beautiful with its nice views of Battersea.
We understand that finding the studio may be a bit tricky, so we're glad that Christina called ahead of time and met you to guide you there. We're always striving to provide the best experience for our guests, and we appreciate your feedback on this.
Thank you for your kind words, and we're thrilled that you're looking forward to attending more workshops in the future. We can't wait to welcome you back and continue creating together!

Wow, what a fun event! The girls are so lovely and helpful and helped my friend and I create some gorgeous bits! They brought cocktails and snacks and ensured we had everything we needed for a fun few hours. The location was a little tricky to find but one phone call to Christina and she came down the road to find us. Thank you for a lovely day girls
Teacher's response

Adelina Cazacutu • Oct 2023
I had the pleasure of attending a jewellery workshop at Scott House, located near Battersea Power Station, on Saturday, October 7th, 2023, through Class Bento. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Christina and instantly felt at ease. In fact, this workshop stands out as the best one I've ever attended.
Why should you book this workshop? Being right next to Battersea Power Station added an exciting dimension to the experience. It's the perfect opportunity to turn your day into a girls' trip, with shopping, dining, and the workshop all conveniently located in one place.
However, even if you're attending alone or solely for the workshop, you can order anything off the menu. Although I wasn't particularly hungry, I couldn't resist trying the banana bread, and it was absolutely delicious. Christina went out of her way to ensure I had everything I needed, and her attentiveness was greatly appreciated.
And, for all the 90s enthusiasts and bead jewellery aficionados out there, this workshop is an absolute must-attend. With a duration spanning 3.5 hours is priced at an incredibly reasonable £40 (yes, I attended solo!). Also, Christina promptly answered my questions and shared tips while making my necklace.
One of the most remarkable aspects of this workshop was the opportunity to connect with people from various cultures and professional backgrounds. By the end of the day, I had not only crafted a beautiful necklace that I adore but also made new friends. To top it all off, Christina gifted me a pair of earrings that I instantly fell in love with.
I couldn't be more satisfied with this experience. If you're looking for a welcoming, enriching, and enjoyable jewellery workshop, I wholeheartedly recommend this one. You won't be disappointed.
