Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
Really enjoyed the workshop. It was a surprise present for my boyfriend’s birthday who had a great time. The class was pitched perfectly and was accessible while still offering a little bit of a challenge. This all was definitely helped by Brandon whose expertise and charisma really made the experience. The studio space was lovely and created a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely + more
Chloe Day
Myself and my friend went as a birthday present to a Sip and Paint class. The class was relaxed and our teacher Sophia was brilliant. We had everything we could possibly need and the drinks were easily accessible. Sophia gave us step by step advice which was easy to follow as well as coming around to help us 1:1 on certain aspects of our painting. We had a fabulous time and we’re really pleased with + more
Lucy Waterhouse
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.
Angela Scott
Thank you to Anita our teacher who explained clearly how to make a candle from scratch and infuse with oil. We learnt the difference between parrafin and soywax candles. It was a fun afternoon with a group of likeminded people. The end result was a beautiful handcrafted candle. The venue was easy to find and the workshop was light and airy and comfortable to work in. My experience was bought as a Christmas + more
Askenova Dinara
French Patisserie Baking Class
My girlfriend got me this amazing Masterclass as a birthday gift and honestly it was by far the best gift I could have wanted. I’ve wanted to get into patisserie for a while now but never did it myself and I’m so glad my girlfriend decided to give it to me as a gift. The masterclass by Valeria was spectacular from beginning to end. She explained every step and method and also with the addition + more

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
Lauren Martinsen
Marbling Wheel Throwing Pottery Class
Such a fun class! Can’t wait to collect my bowl and mug! I received the class as a birthday present but will definitely be back for more!
Bogdan
I reviewed this as a gift from some close friends. My girlfriend and I had a lovely time. Our instructor, Mal, was very helpful and informative. We each successfully created a pot with our instructor’s help and guidance.
Doug Tilney
Beginners' Epoxy Resin Workshop
The beginner Epoxy Resin course was great, all equipment provided, very knowledgeable instructors who were able to provide all the advice needed. Would thoroughly recommend as either a gift or for those wishing to try something new.
Bernie McAleer
Beam was absolutely brilliant, she made the class fun and light hearted. We booked this as a surprise birthday present and the birthday girl loved it. Highly recommend.
Michelle S Jones
Pottery Class - Throwing on the Wheel
We absolutely loved it! Birthday present for my boyfriend (his idea!) Not something I would have thought of but would recommend Dave & his patience to anyone in a heartbeat! Thank you for a great afternoon. Great value for money!
Tobias
Classic Vegetarian Indian Cooking Class
This cooking course was a gift for my husband’s birthday, as he’s passionate about cooking. Steve made us feel very welcome into his home and he had a great set up for cooking. All the ingredients provided were fresh and of quality. We learnt lots of tips and tricks to get the best out of your curries and how we can alter them to make many more dishes at home. We also learnt about all the different + more
Daniel
Private Pottery Throwing Taster Class
Beautiful birthday present for my wife. The teacher was excellent, very dedicated, careful, supportive, always there to help and guide us.
Michelle
Beginners' Pottery Wheel Class
Great teacher that was a joy to meet and learn from. Beautiful studio and place too! It was a surprise birthday present for my partner and they loved it!
Seb
Heart-shaped Flower Arrangement Class
This was a valentine's gift to my girlfriend and we both had a great time, the arrangement turned out beautiful and Malina was so friendly and hospitable!
Ellie Joy Knight
I bought this class as a present for my mum and Grandma for Christmas. The voucher was really easy to redeem and the class was really easy to book. The teacher was lovely and really informative. Venue was easy to find and parking was close by. I thought the class was good value for money and everything you needed was provided.
Maria Duk
It was a lovely class, learned a lot and had a beautiful terrarium to take home. It was a Christmas present for my partner who really enjoyed the workshop.
Chiara Di Vece
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!
Julia Anne Graham
Silver Sea Glass Ring Making Class
I received a sea glass ring making class as a Christmas gift and spent a most enjoyable day engaged in this. Our tutor Sarah was very professional and knowledgeable and went out of her way to ensure that each participant got the best experience possible. She was particularly encouraging when I struggled with some of the processes and I left with my very own sea glass ring at the end of the day.
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!
