Fluid Bear Acrylic Pouring Class
Took my partner here for his birthday gift and we absolutely loved it. Our instructor was so lovely and answered all our questions. The instructions were clear and our bears came out really nice; we even got to add a little creative flair at the end and listen to our own music.

Introduction to Floristry Workshop
Jane was lovely and very informative. She took time to explain all aspects of floristry. She had even made some homemade cakes for us yo have with a tea or coffee. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is thinking of taking up floristry or for a gift for someone's birthday.
