  • 5/5 from Suwi Katuka, attended Aug 2026: The class was amazing and so much fun! Thank you to our teacher for giving us so many great tips on how to look after our new terrariums
  • 4/5 from Emmanuel Olajide, attended Apr 2026: The class was really good, managed to get a Sunday class and enjoyed myself, it’s always good to be leaving with something that will last for a long time. Really good instructor Rosalyn, very friendly and speaks with genuineness. Will come back again.
  • 5/5 from Bala M, attended Mar 2026: The terrarium making was a novel experience and was perfect for a fun experience. Aislinn was the ideal coach. 10/10 would recommend.
  • 5/5 from Jana Mikova, attended Feb 2026: Fantastic class! Learned loads and got plenty of inspiration to start making my own terrariums. And made one to take home.
  • 5/5 from Mark Hayward, attended Feb 2026: Terrarium making workshop was really great fun. Naomi was a great teacher, full of knowledge and kept the class engaged, whilst having fun and ‘keeping it moving’. The options for plants and decorations were great and I feel really made the experience.
  • 5/5 from Lorenzo Melillo, attended Jan 2026: The class was very fun, every step is very easy to follow, even for someone not very crafty like me Aislinn was very helpful all the way through. Would definitely recommend!
  • 1/5 from Imrozia Maqboul, attended Jan 2026: This was purchased as a bday present for my sister. We travelled all the way there only to be informed that the class had been cancelled due to lack of attendees. Apparently we should have been notified by email. This did not happen
  • 5/5 from Alba Trujillo, attended Dec 2025: We had such a lovely experience at the terrarium class. As there was nobody else booked, it ended up being just the two of us, which made it feel really special and personal. We had all the attention, could ask lots of questions, and everything was explained at a relaxed pace. It never felt rushed, and we learned so much while genuinely enjoying ourselves. A really calming, hands-on experience, we’d absolutely recommend it.
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Upsher, attended Oct 2025: Jess was fantastic! It was a great class. Plenty of time for activity and learnt a lot. Great venue too. Keen to go back to try other classes. Highly recommend. We went as first activity of the day for a hen do.
  • 5/5 from Tara Etherington, attended Aug 2025: Jess was a great teacher, very knowledgable and we had a fantastic time!
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Jul 2025: We had a terrarium workshop with Kai. Kai clearly has a passion for terraria and was full of all sorts of helpful information and interesting facts. It also gives you a nice memento of the day. Communication with ArtPlay was very easy and Bliss was really helpful with our queries.
  • 4/5 from Marina Koh, attended Jul 2025: Great fun, learned loads and great range of items to use.
  • 5/5 from Camilla Capotorto, attended Jun 2025: Fantastic, fun experience and great teacher!
  • 5/5 from Amy Lawton, attended May 2025: My partner and I had a lovely time making our terrariums. The tutor was very knowledgable and gave clear instructions throughout. I learnt so much in such a short time. What is nice is to be able to take something away at the end.
  • 5/5 from Remi Burgher, attended May 2025: Amazing class by Masha who did an amazing job talking us through the history of terrariums and direction of how to make one!
  • 5/5 from Emily Hurd, attended Apr 2025: We had an amazing time at the Terrarium workshop. The teacher and all other staff were really helpfull. The materials provided for the workshop felt high quality and we had a lot of choice to personalise our terrarium. It was a really relaxing workshop and I couldn't believe how quickly the time went. Special shout out to our teacher Rosalyn.
  • 5/5 from Janna Patel, attended Mar 2025: I had a really great session learning to make terrariums with Kai. He was an enthusiastic and laid back teacher who made the process fun. I was really pleased with the outcome and what I took away is now a lovely addition to my home. I would recommend it to anyone for a nice weekend activity either to be done alone or with a plus one. My daughter bought this for me as a gift and it was easy for me to access the gift through email.
  • 5/5 from Evie Clark, attended Mar 2025: Our teacher was lovely and welcoming. Very knowledgeable and had lots of interesting tips and facts. Very clear instructions and lots of different materials and decorations to use. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Ajla Alijagic, attended Mar 2025: Absolutely brilliant. It was so relaxing and I learnt a lot along the way as well. Masha was an incredible teacher, she really took the time to check on everyone. I would very much recommend and will definitely come back.
  • 5/5 from Hamish Ralfe, attended Mar 2025: Kai was very friendly and ready to answer all questions. Was lots of fun and will recommend to friends and family
  • 5/5 from Roberta Miozzi, attended Mar 2025: The teacher was great, he gaves us a lot info about Terrarium, its history and useful tips on how mantain a Terrarium healthy. He was very friendly and helpful with everyone attending the workshop.
  • 5/5 from Miss E Cumming, attended Mar 2025: Rosalyn was a great teacher. She was gentle and patient with our clumsy attempts and talked us through everything at a nice pace.
  • 2/5 from Krishantini Mahendran, attended Mar 2025: The class takes place in an open space alongside multiple other sessions, making it quite noisy. Given the price, we felt it didn't offer great value. While the instructor was nice, they lacked engagement, and the process of making a terrarium wasn’t particularly enjoyable —there wasn’t much room for creativity. Having attended several similar classes before, we found this one to be underwhelming in comparison.
  • 5/5 from Antanina Vertsinskaya, attended Feb 2025: We had a great time, thanks!
  • 5/5 from Ari Andziulyte, attended Feb 2025: Our teacher was extremely informative, accommodating and friendly! He definitely deserves some praise! The class was very cute and the perfect Valentine's day activity
  • 5/5 from Daniela Monica Rabito, attended Feb 2025: Rosalyn was a lovely teacher A great class to do on Valentines as a couple Can't wait to watch my terranium grow!
  • 5/5 from Jess Nichols, attended Feb 2025: Kai was a very informative teacher! very helpful and loved learning a bit on the history and startings of the terrarium! great quality stones and moss and little bits to put in the jar & was super encouraging to personalise them and create more at home 10/10 class 10/10 would recommend!! :D
  • 5/5 from Andrei Sorescu, attended Feb 2025: Kai is so lovely: patient, knowledgeable, funny! Will definitely recommend this to my friends :)
  • 5/5 from Deepti Kalani, attended Feb 2025: Hi! I went to the terrarium making class and it was a great experience. Our teacher, Kai, was very educational and taught us fun facts about terrariums and guided us throughout the entire process. I liked how it was very simple and the materials were already laid out but I was a bit disappointed to see only fittonias being used. Nonetheless I would recommend this class and art play for other classes.
  • 5/5 from Annika Sikdar, attended Feb 2025: Our teacher was super knowledgeable and engaging. He made the class so fun and enjoyable! It would have been great if the pots were slightly bigger but all in all an amazing class
  • 5/5 from Ramona Saigol, attended Jan 2025: A very relaxing + calming hour and a half creating something pretty + special :) Kai was great - super knowledgable & guided us through each step of the process whilst teaching us all the facts. I've now left with a very pretty terrarium that's sat on my desk away from direct sunlight but in a mid temperature, light and airy space. Would do another class again!
  • 5/5 from Stephanie Sinko, attended Jan 2025: Really nice relaxing class, which resulted in a super cute terrarium! Our teacher Kai was really good and walked us through step by step, providing education along the way. Would recommend.
  • 5/5 from Will Stanbridge, attended Jan 2025: Great class. Lovely teacher who knew his stuff.
  • 5/5 from Gemma Clarke, attended Jan 2025: Great class. Kai was a really great instructor. Very knowledgeable, clear and friendly. Fun class 5*
  • 5/5 from Mark Christian, attended Jan 2025: First time ever attending a class under the Art Play company. Had a go with the Terrarium class and the instructor Kai was super friendly and informative while also being extremely patient especially with my slow terrarium building skills. The space felt safe and enjoyable to learn an art form that I am a novice at. Highly recommend taking your partner or family to these classes. Thank you for the experience!!!!
  • 5/5 from Chris W, attended Jan 2025: Great session with Kai who was full of knowledge and enthusiasm. Learned a lot and had a great time :)
  • 5/5 from Emma Priestley, attended Jan 2025: We bought this workshop for a friend's birthday and had a lovely time. The teacher was great at explaining what to do, as well as the reasoning behind adding different elements to the terrarium. We all left the class with beautiful terrariums and the knowledge of how to create other ones ourselves in the future. Would definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Varun Sarin, attended Dec 2024: Loved it! A gentle introduction to making terrariums. Naomi was lots of fun and explained everything clearly. We'll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 from Greg Inwood, attended Nov 2024: Class was really fun and not something I had seen before! Naomi was great and made the experience highly enjoyable!
  • 5/5 from Ana, attended Oct 2024: It was fun and relaxing! We really enjoyed it. Making a terrarium is a fun way to celebrate a birthday or any special occasion and Abi was great teacher.
