French Patisserie Baking Class
My girlfriend got me this amazing Masterclass as a birthday gift and honestly it was by far the best gift I could have wanted. I’ve wanted to get into patisserie for a while now but never did it myself and I’m so glad my girlfriend decided to give it to me as a gift. The masterclass by Valeria was spectacular from beginning to end. She explained every step and method and also with the addition + more

Textured Silver Ring Making Workshop
The silver ring class was a Xtmas gift from my daughters to me and my husband. The teacher was great. Very welcoming, very nice, funny, dynamic and very clear. The venue was a very cute little cafe, with very good food, with a bonus discount for work-shoppers. The materials were appropriate and well explained. I had a great experience!

Pottery Wheel Taster Class - Date Edition
This was a present for my boyfriend and we finally did it this Saturday - it was wonderful! The little studio, tucked in the back of a lovely Hungarian Restaurant has a relaxed at-home feel. We came in and got straight to work with Mihaly giving a quick yet instructive intro and all the help and tips we needed along the way. We both ended up making 6 pieces, which clearly showed our progression as + more
Dr May Myanmar
Excellent gift idea if wanting to do something more creative! Really enjoyed the class where we made mosaic mirrors. I only wish we had time to have some of the snacks as we were too focused on trying to finish the pieces. Depending on the idea for your mosaic piece you should factor in time for executing it as I think a few of us were focused alot of detail and trying to make our pieced look great + more

I bought this as a gift for my husband for Lunar New Year, and this was the earliest class that we could make together! Iris was such a patient, warm and attentive teacher and really good at explaining the history and heritage of this ancient art. We got to practising quite quickly using the paper and brushes provided, and I appreciated that Iris would come around and spend some time with each of us, + more

Brandon is an amazing teacher and instructor! He created a very easy and comfortable atmosphere where everyone knew what they were doing and felt guided and secure. His sense of humour and relaxed but focused attitude definitely made this a one of a kind experience! It was a birthday present for a friend and she absolutely loved it!

Silver Jewellery Casting Workshop
Husband bought the casting class for me as a present and I absolutely loved it. Penny is a fantastic teacher and the class was such a good value for money; a whole day plus materials and so many pieces to take away. I’m definitely going back for more classes
Julia Anne Graham
Silver Sea Glass Ring Making Class
I received a sea glass ring making class as a Christmas gift and spent a most enjoyable day engaged in this. Our tutor Sarah was very professional and knowledgeable and went out of her way to ensure that each participant got the best experience possible. She was particularly encouraging when I struggled with some of the processes and I left with my very own sea glass ring at the end of the day.
Kiera Gould
Received this experience as a gift and wasn’t sure what to expect but it was great! Something really different, and very good value. We were provided with lots of drinks and snacks while we had a very clear demonstration of what we were making, and were able to take home two pots and a plant each. Highly recommended.
David Livens
Loved this, Joan the lady taking the class was so patient and good at what she does, I had 2 goes on the potters wheel 1st time ever. Joan centred the clay for me then let me have a play to get a 'feel' for how it works, this was great, the second time I made this pot on the wheel which I was amazed me totally. We also had a go at slab making pots with a few tools and I made 2 pots and a lid, loved + more

Quite frankly, brilliant! A great experience, fantastic group and a truly wonderful teacher. The pace of the class and instruction were a perfect level and it was really great. I bought this for my Dad’s 71st birthday present and we had the best time. Thank you Gavin for being the perfect combination of fun, humour and patience!
Surya Tahir
I really enjoyed the lesson, I learned loads and was able to make a unique candle to show off to the family. All the materials were provided. The host was excellent, informative and helpful. The venue was brilliant: very centrally located. There is a cafe selling food and snacks, as well as a gift shop downstairs.
Alberto de Bortoli
My girlfriend and I tried out a sushi cooking class with Simon and Hanna and it was a pretty cool experience! The chefs were laid-back and made the whole thing easy to follow and very enjoyable! Got hands-on with making sushi rolls and tempura, and it was more fun than we expected. The ingredients were fresh and everything was clean. We then ate most of it and there was enough left to fill a tupperware + more
Kevin

Charlotte Felix-Otoo
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.
