The host was so friendly and helpful, and guided us so patiently to produce a lovely charcuterie board which I feel very proud of.
It was very easy to navigate through the Bento site and use our gift card, and the instructions prior to the workshop were detailed and helpful. I highly recommend this workshop.

Great workshop. Showed just how easy it is to do it yourself, showed up tips and tricks on how to make the different patterns then let us choose the background and stencil to choose, also what colours we wanted to use.
The class flew by and was a great time. A couple of people had kits at home, but had never made anything and said they will definitely try again.
Will definitely try something like this again.

Fantastic class with Vicky learning how to do pyrography by burning designs into a charcuterie board! Very relaxed atmosphere and excellent host while we worked away on our boards. Loved being able to bring my own design, while my partner was able to pick from a curated selection of templates on the day. Definitely recommend and would do again, five stars, 10/10 etc!

Perpetua Jones Feb 2025



Vicky is an excellent teacher and explained the process before we started and gave us scrap wood to practice on. We were given beech charcuterie boards to work on and she had files with lots of designs to use. I wanted to put a hedgehog on my board and there wasn't one in the file. So she found a design online and printed it off for me. She gave us lots of hints and tips plus plenty of encouragement.

Me and my 9 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the paper quilling class! The quilling itself is equally therapeutic and satisfying, and Vicky was great, catering to all of our needs! Moments after stepping foot outside the door of the workshop, my daughter asked if we could come back again next week!

Kirsty Barton-Wyndham Nov 2024



We took 4 people, Class was wonderful, V was a great teacher, very easy to communicate with before the class, and patient and helpful during. There was opportunity to practice techniques and choose design, as well as sealing the wood to make sure it would last and be food safe. Comfortable environment both at the studio and with V’s energy, and was greeted with true northern hospitality- an offer of tea! Would 100% book with her again!

Both teachers explaining the ins and out of a terrarium. It was interesting especially when doing your own terrarium and what plants can be used for your desired effect.

David Moore Jul 2023



I've used common room previously and decided to book a class for my sister's baby shower, as a present.
It was a small, private class and everyone said that they really enjoyed it. Everything was provided and Ella was a great tutor. Definitely recommend.

Claire Roberts Jul 2023



Vicky was an amazing host, talking us through the biology of terrariums before instructing us on how to construct our own. The materials and plants provided were varied and abundant. This was such a good event to do as a team - it was cathartic, yet allowed us all to talk while we were constructing our terrariums.
Thank you Vicky for a brilliant experience!

Sophie Wilcox Jun 2023



Such a lovely relaxing thing to do in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!
