Kadisha
Booked this for my cousins birthday as a gift because she’s in love with candles and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Met some lovely people there! The class was amazing, learnt so many facts about candle making. Host was so kind and inviting, definitely a must try
Marina
I booked this class for a birthday present for a friend and three of us went. The teacher was really nice and helpful, she spread her time evenly, and she answered all our questions. There was enough time for one object repair and someone had enough time to fix his own bowl as well. All materials were provided and of great quality, and the ceramics are upcycled. The venue was very nice, just a bit + more

Pottery Making Taster Workshop
I this class the second time around just as much as the first! It was for my partners birthday present & he loved it just as much. We had two amazing instructors, who explained everything & gave the best advice, especially when it was our turn. Everything is provided, you do need to pay extra if you are taking then home. I believe an excellent value for money & would always come back another time + 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
Eden Blakeman
We had Elena as our teacher and she was great - super nice and interactive. It was a guided painting class so we essentially watched her paint something step by step and copied, but she also gave us the artistic freedom to make changes. I did this with my brother as a present for him and it was really nice to spend time together painting!

Christmas Wreath Making Workshop
Ewa is a great teacher and very friendly. She made us feel welcome and was very patient in answering all our questions. She offered tips to each one of us on how to make our wreaths turn out amazing. The venue was an adorable flower shop, very cosy and beautiful. There was Xmas music and a glass of bubbly or tea to add the festive touch. We all had fun and laughed together and it was a great experience. + more
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
Amanda Boot
I attended the mini rug workshop with 2 friends. I cannot fault the experience and I speak for my friends also. We loved it! Chun was a brilliant teacher. None of us had any previous experience. His introduction was to the point. He then remained discreetly present for any help and advice we needed. The materials were beautiful and plentiful. The environment very spacious and comfortable. Location + more
Libby Sheppard
Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
Brandon was a great facilitator: calm, friendly, efficient and really passionate about his craft. Everything we needed was provided, the instructions were easy to follow and he was there to answer questions and help out when we made mistakes. We had a great time - I took my mum as her early Christmas gift and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to do something different and take away some cool + more
Emanuela Masucci
Incredible class! I bought this class as a birthday gift for a friend and we had the best time ever.

My friend and I came to a clay modeling workshop, I didn’t have any particular expectations. But already in the first minutes of the session, I realized that something very interesting was waiting for me! We got tremendous pleasure and we will have wonderful crafts as a keepsake! VERY VERY COOL! Special thanks to Elena! She was very attentive, helped everyone and everyone if there were mistakes) + more
Viola Pica
I attended the Dim Sum 3h cooking class with my boyfriend and it was delightful. Our teacher Will was quick to make all the guests feel relaxed and excited and kept us engaged all the way through. The way we were taught all the tricks for the dough and the fillings and the shaping of the dim sums was easy to follow and very fun to learn. Will is obviously experienced in what he does and is also capable + more

Honestly what a fun bestie day we had. Malina was so lovely and welcoming and very thoughtful. She explained everything with ease and allowed us to get creative with our flowers but still guided us where needed. The location is a cute little book shop and lovely atmosphere. We felt so at home and content with Malina and left with such stunning flowers that kept getting compliments from everyone who + more

Andrea Robinson
Cocktail Making Class with Caribbean Afternoon Tea
What a fabulous equivalent to an English Afternoon Tea, but with the added touch of making your own Caribbean cocktail to start. This was followed by a quiz which was enjoyed by all! and what can I say, the delicious, well presented Caribbean Afternoon Tea with all the islands flavours! was superb! Served with a choice of hot teas. From the outset the host/teacher was welcoming and very accommodating + more
Teresa Zhou
Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
It was a well organised class and also quite a large one! You’ll get to select a pottery, smash it, then join it back together via the kintsugi method. The teachers are constantly reminding you the beauty in imperfection (which is the philosophy behind this technique) and tying back to mental wellness, which is a nice touch. It’s relatively straightforward though it teaches you patience because + more

We had a good laugh and got to go home with a beautiful piece of jewelry we made ourselves. Thanks again xx
