Recent reviews of Sculpt and Sip Class

  • 5/5 from Mariam Masood, attended Feb 2025: Really kind and helpful instructor. Thanks Issy!
  • 5/5 from Kambridge van der Veur, attended Dec 2024: Fun! Well worth it, teacher was great and funny. We're thinking to do this again sometime!
  • 5/5 from Mackenzie Spearing, attended Aug 2024: Lots of laughs and giggles! The instructor was lovely, we will definitely be returning!!!!!! We loved this session and would highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Mia Cooper, attended May 2024: Our teacher was willing to let you do your own thing or help you Step by step with no judgement for how bad some sculpts may be
  • 4/5 from Louis Thorogood, attended May 2024: We came for a date night and found this class to be very enjoyable! The venue was great and it was easy to get drinks/a seat while we waited for the class to start. Our teacher was fab at helping out and showing us how to do certain things with the clay as well as advising on what ideas may or may not work! We were given the clay and all sculpting materials so we didn’t have to provide anything! We learnt how to create a pot using pinching and how to layer a pot with curled and rolled clay. I liked making what I wanted in my own way with some advice to bring that to life!
  • 5/5 from George Huth, attended Apr 2024: The class was awesome! Our teacher was great, dope energy. I made so many little guys, all round good time.
  • 5/5 from Molly Rogers, attended Apr 2024: She was amazing and helped with personal details big or small and any queries. Very encouraging aswell
  • 5/5 from Alfred Slevin, attended Jan 2024: Our instructor Zoe was great, got used to get used to working with the clay before our team made their funky masterpieces. Zoe was very helpful and giving tips and ideas to everyone thought the evening. The Paintvine team was helpful in giving us venue options that suited us best. The only thing that was a shame was the fact the clay was not food safe so we were advised not to make any bowls or mugs, but this was made clear before we started creating. It ended up being a fun team event with a nice piece or two to bring home.
  • 5/5 from Taylor Kelly, attended Dec 2023: This was our first class, and it did not disappoint! The teacher was very knowledgeable and presented the class beautifully. She was very attentive and supportive. Always offering advice or creative feedback. She encouraged the class to make whatever we wanted, after demonstrating how to create a fun, festive tree ornament. Can not recommend this class enough! Will be looking forward to #2.
  • 5/5 from Madi Beau Fortune, attended Nov 2023: Fun class, okay venue, great teacher! Had a lot of fun and it was helpful learning more techniques.
  • 5/5 from Leela Sule, attended Oct 2023: This was such a fun and relaxing evening! I purchased tickets for myself and my friend as a birthday activity and it was perfect. Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Zara Clarke, attended Sep 2023: Thank you very much, it was so fun and the teacher was amazing! x x
  • 4/5 from Olamide Alakija, attended Jul 2023: Enjoyed my experience. Would have like it to be longer. The instructor is lovely also.
  • 5/5 from Hannah Froehler, attended May 2023: The workshop was definitely worth getting up early on a Saturday. The teacher had the best playlist and was so friendly and made this experience perfect!
  • 4/5 from Hannah Naughton, attended May 2023: We enjoyed the class, even though it started quite late. The teacher was really friendly and helpful. I'd recommend.
  • 4/5 from Caterina Cedolini, attended May 2023: We had so much fun! I do wish we had a bit more guidance we literally just got shown how to do a pinch bowl, it would have been good to have a bit more structure to the class. Time warning mid way through would also have been lovely. That being said, The instructor was really lovely and helpful!
  • 5/5 from Rosie W, attended Apr 2023: I absolutely loved the session Learnt how to make a small 'pinch' pot, and then had plenty of time to work on a few other little pieces, can't wait to use my little dish for my rings! Good value being able to make so much, and the instructor was so friendly! Thank you
  • 5/5 from Claudia Mattia, attended Apr 2023: Loved the experience, the materials and tools given. It was really fun despite my terrible sculpting skills. Great gift :)
  • 5/5 from Aya Howiji, attended Mar 2023: It was an AMAZING experience. The people and community was so friendly. I went alone but I didn’t feel I’m alone or left out.
  • 3/5 from Hennie Young, attended Mar 2023: I was expecting a bit more instruction and guidance. there was a hurried 5-10 minute demonstration at the beginning and then we were largely left to our own devices. We could have just bought the clay ourselves and made it at home.
  • 3/5 from Anastasia Lankina, attended Mar 2023: Overall an ok experience, but a) overpriced for what it was b) no actual masterclass on clay/sculpting - after showing us the bare basics the teachers just let the hour pass c) the audience the Mayfair venue attracts are difficult to socialise with
  • 3/5 from Charlotte Quinlan-Merry, attended Mar 2023: Sculpting was fun! But very disappointed by value for money. Based on the name of the class, we expected at least one drink to be included in the price, but they weren’t and had to be ordered by ourselves downstairs at the pub. Also disappointed that this was just air-dry clay.
  • 4/5 from Kathryn West, attended Nov 2022: Good fun. Had a laugh with the girls on our table. Organisers friendly. Would have appreciated a welcome drink in the package
  • 5/5 from Anna Hosey, attended Oct 2022: Our teacher was absolutely amazing. They were so warm and inviting, quick to help, non judgemental and allowed free-range if that's what you'd like. I will absolutely be sharing this with friends so I can do it again! Thanks sooo much!
  • 4/5 from Alexander Browne, attended Sep 2022: Teaching was wonderful, faultless. We really enjoyed the session. Would have preferred a brighter venue though.
  • 5/5 from Aisha Bah, attended Aug 2022: The teacher (sorry I forgot your name) was so lovely, patient with a great energy. It was a very good moment. They let us do what we wanted and give us the space to be while remaining available if we had question. Great experience would 100% recommend it
  • 5/5 from Tyler Ofori, attended Aug 2022: Our teacher was phenomenal. Very encouraging and helpful. Her claylist was also a highlight. Would definitely book again if she was the one teaching.
  • 3/5 from Sarah Davis, attended Jul 2022: Seemed quite expensive for what it was. Not much direction from hosts, simply given materials and told to be creative, could have done it at home.
  • 3/5 from Martina Fortunato, attended Jul 2022: A bit expensive for what you do in the class, but overall okay we had fun
  • 4/5 from Francesca Capotondi, attended Jun 2022: We really enjoyed the class. The teachers were lovely, and the rest of the attendees too. The materials provided were perfect for the workshop, and if you needed more during the class they would provide it. We were a bit disappointed the experience didn't include a drink voucher, and the venue was a bit small for that many attendees. Apart from that, great experience, recommended 100%
  • 5/5 from Rocio Aguilera, attended May 2022: I did the class with a friend and it was really great! We had some laughs while crafting some clay objects and bonding over wine, fantastic experience!
  • 5/5 from Francesca Quesnel, attended May 2022: Loved every minute of it, the staff were amazing and it was so much fun! Thank you!
  • 4/5 from Uj , attended May 2022: It was really good; we really had an amazing time sculpting. The teacher was nice, and she provide us with all the materials we needed. The only thing not that good, was the time we spend at the venue it was too short for what you are paying and for finishing your creation. In our case the class started at 2pm and finished like at 3:30pm we thought it was until 5pm.
  • 5/5 from Amy Cowan, attended Apr 2022: Loved the class, and the teachers were great. Loads of clay provided and the equipment was in good nick. My only gripe would be for the price I would have thought you would be give a drink on arrival.
  • 5/5 from Micheline Tshiombo, attended Feb 2022: I really liked both teachers, they were joyful and happy to explain what to do with the clay. They also were available to us about their lives and their passions. I really liked that. The venue was a bit difficult to find but nice and neat. The host was friendly and provided the cardboard boxes and tape to store our pieces pf art. I do really believe that the class was worth the money spent and I would attend another class with these teachers as soon as they are available.
  • 5/5 from Tanmay Sukthankar, attended Feb 2022: Teachers were enthusiastic and fun, very welcoming. Location easy to get to. Class really fun and interesting and got to take home our masterpieces
  • 3/5 from Holly Russell, attended Feb 2022: I came with 10 friends. It was really nice to do something crafty whilst socializing but we all thought it was a bit over priced for what it was.
