Lorna Weaver
Wheel Throwing Class for Beginners
The class was a birthday present from my daughter. Sharon was a teacher with a lot of patience and explained everything clearly. The venue and materials were good. Not easy to get to without a car, so we got a taxi. Loved the whole experience, and will do it again.

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.
Tamara Barton-Campbell
I received a voucher from my sister as a gift and decided to embark on a solo adventure for some fun. With the Easter bank holiday providing ample time, I dove into the experience eager to learn and play. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and infused the session with humor, making them perfect contenders for stand-up comedy. I appreciated the intimate setting and the diverse mix of guests, + more
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!
Shannon Reeve
Pottery Wheel Taster Class - Date Edition
This was a present for my boyfriend and we finally did it this Saturday - it was wonderful! The little studio, tucked in the back of a lovely Hungarian Restaurant has a relaxed at-home feel. We came in and got straight to work with Mihaly giving a quick yet instructive intro and all the help and tips we needed along the way. We both ended up making 6 pieces, which clearly showed our progression as + more

Pottery Making Taster Workshop
I came with a friend as a birthday present and it was so much fun! All our pots turned out great and the teachers were so helpful and made sure we came away happy with what we’d made. I also think it’s great value for money so I would definitely come again!
Dr May Myanmar
Excellent gift idea if wanting to do something more creative! Really enjoyed the class where we made mosaic mirrors. I only wish we had time to have some of the snacks as we were too focused on trying to finish the pieces. Depending on the idea for your mosaic piece you should factor in time for executing it as I think a few of us were focused alot of detail and trying to make our pieced look great + 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

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.
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.
Hannah Colgan
Valeria was really informative and talked us through each step of the process. It was so lovely to do the whole thing from beginning to end and get to take home a box of macarons. We made three different fillings, 2 colours (and mixed!) and learnt how to pipe the batter correctly. Valeria also emailed us all the recipes and instructions afterwards so I felt that I could just be present and concentrate + more

A wonderful gift for my 50th. Great demonstration to get us all started and loads of useful, supportive guidance throughout. Lovely venue and great value for money. Highly recommend.
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!
Diana Vorona
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.
Christelle Lafille
Silver Jewellery Casting Workshop
The course was a Christmas present from my girlfriend. Hands-on experience, all the materials were provided, the teacher was great and very patient, basically learnt to cast silver and came home with a couple of my own creations!
Anna Lisova
I bought this as a gift for mum for Christmas and it was all perfect! Malina was so helpful, friendly and kind! We had a perfect day, and couldn’t be happier with the bouquet we took home. Thank you so much - we’ll be coming back again!

Jonathan James Feria Soriano
Luxury Vegan Candle Making Workshop
The workshop is amazing! The atmosphere is very friendly and chill. We learned a lot from Marina as a teacher armed with her “nose for the business”. She shared a lot of her wisdom and this is a great gift for people who would like to learn new things. At the end of the fun-filled two hours you get to go home with your own candle creation. Also, perfect avenue for meeting new people. Highly r + more
