Such a wonderful afternoon - the class was such fun and very accessible. I really enjoyed the beaded embroidery and was thrilled with my finished product. It’s a lovely space with a reassuring and supportive teacher.

Thoroughly enjoyed this class. Will was an engaging and knowledgeable teacher, and great fun. He was keen to ensure we produced rings we were all happy with and that we were able to do the maximum ourselves. Highly recommended.

Make Your Own Ceramic Plates Workshop (2 Plates, 18cm)
Lovely class and a lot of fun too! Both my friend and I wanted to do a slightly different shape for our 2nd plate and they were so helpful and accommodating, providing tips to help us achieve what we were after. Would highly recommend the class.

It was really good. It was easy to buy online, easy to find and park.£6 cash for parking. Lady was really good at teaching me how to throw the clay on the wheel and showing me how to use my hands and apply water to the clay to help me make my plate.

I would definitely do this again. I just would add u less I missed it. We need to enter through the black doors, walk up 3 stairscases to find the unit. I truly enjoyed myself as a solo creativist really loved the calming, friendly and warm atmosphere

Martin and Noel (husband and wife team) welcomed us into their home to attend a planet candle workshop. Myself and my 12 year old niece each made a candle. They were both very attentive and helpful and keen to ensure we came away with a beautiful candle. The scents were gorgeous. Both are very passionate about candle making in the Korean style. Thank you for a fantastic morning.

We had a brilliant time! Elena is lovely and so good with kids and sharing her knowledge and tips so kids and adults understand techniques shown. Very cool class and we will definitely be browsing other classes and options to come back! Great location too, right next to Liverpool st.

I finally was able to treat myself to the 4 week course this summer and this class was wonderful! Bex was so helpful with all the questions I've had and endlessly patient with me whilst learning a new skill. Such a lovely process that I cant wait to do again. Bex is a wonderful teacher and explains things very well. Thank you guys x

I thought I was going to this for my 14 year old daughter but I ended up enjoying it just as much. First of all the studio is in a really nice area that's so easily accessible. Our teacher met us at the door and then took us up to the studio which is every art lovers slice of heaven. She talked us through all of her amazing equipment available to us and then let us loose. We had so much fun with it.I thought I was going to this for my 14 year old daughter but I ended up enjoying it just as much.

I now want to spray paint my entire house and all my clothes. But I'll just book another session instead. Our teacher was so welcoming, really easy to talk to and just an all round beautiful soul. I highly recommend this class for all ages. Such a great way to de-stress, unwind and have lots of fun + more

Beginner's Guide to Lino Printing Workshop
Wasn't sure what to expect as I've never done a craft workshop online before and I am totally new to lino printing. Had a really lovely evening, very small group with cameras off but our instructor was knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. The pace was good. Really happy with the experience and keen to do another one day.

Alcohol Ink Art Workshop for Beginners
My friend Liz and I had a really pleasant time learning this new skill. Blanca was friendly, and happy to demo and encourage our free expression during the session. Although we had directions there was difficulty in finding the unit once in the square as it is not sign posted - we lost GPS. However, Blanca came out to meet us and we were impressed with the art space. The tools, alcohol and inksMy friend Liz and I had a really pleasant time learning this new skill.

Although we had directions there was difficulty in finding the unit once in the square as it is not sign posted - we lost GPS. However, Blanca came out to meet us and we were impressed with the art space. The tools, alcohol and inks were good quality and plentiful colours of ink. It would have been good to perhaps work on larger paper as that might be more effective as a framed finished piece. Recommended! + more

It was lovely to be able to attend this class with family as a private booking Jack was very friendly and explained things well while he took us through the process. We had fun playing with the paints and we were all pleased with what we had accomplished on the day.

This was Jessica's fourth time doing this class
Another great crochet class with Chrissie. Very good teacher- clear and well paced. I was able to keep up with her but I struggled to finish the square. I found the last 20 minutes hard and I didn’t follow the pattern - I took a break from the workshop. I am pleased with what I have achieved, though.

I loved the experience. Definitely will come to more events like this. The app of claim points was not working well, but Lisa kindly gave me a loyalty card with a stamp on it.

Kids Letter Decorating Workshop with POSCA
I booked this letter painting workshop at the Oxford store for my 5 year old granddaughter and me to do together. The workshop leader was ready and waiting for us when we arrived 10 minutes before the class started. Bryony was very friendly and showed us some examples of what we would be working on and showed us how to shake the paint pens to get the colours flowing in the right way.

Brush Lettering Calligraphy Workshop
Really enjoyed Steph's calligraphy workshop in Manchester. Went alone but was welcomed into a lovely small group, and it was so nice to put the phone away and focus on writing letter by letter for a couple of hours. Steph gave clear guidance, an easy to follow pen and guide, and taught us how to get those thick and thin lines and a few flourishes.

We went to celebrate our 9th (pottery) wedding anniversary. The studio was really nice, bright and clean. The class size of 6 was ideal. Our teacher Esther was really clear, helpful and encouraging.
