Jonathan James Feria Soriano
Luxury Vegan Candle Making Workshop
The workshop is amazing! The atmosphere is very friendly and chill. We learned a lot from Marina as a teacher armed with her “nose for the business”. She shared a lot of her wisdom and this is a great gift for people who would like to learn new things. At the end of the fun-filled two hours you get to go home with your own candle creation. Also, perfect avenue for meeting new people. Highly r + more

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

Samantha’s class was exceptional. From the minute we arrived we were in good hands, she talked us through the process showed the materials and tools we would be using and gave demonstrations of how to make the items and then helped us to make them. She was very patient and you could see just how much love she had for her craft and sharing it with others. This is a brilliant class if you want to + more

Pottery Making Taster Workshop
Thoroughly enjoyed my first time having a go at some pottery on the wheel at Cernamics I booked the throwing taster session for my mum and I as a birthday gift and we both loved it. The teachers were very thorough in their demo and patient with everyone as we battled to get out clay centred. Absolutely loved the pieces we made and am really looking forward to picking them up once they’ve been glazed. + 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

He came back buzzing and just said the teachers were so kind and helpful, he learned so much and it was an amazing experience. He was a bit nervous at first but the teachers made him feel so at ease. He ate the food he made with them as he + more

Venue was easy to find and the teacher guided us to the space which was light and airy and welcoming. Kim was absolutely lovely, both expert but relaxed, giving us top tips and being kind and reassuring if we needed help. This was a surprise birthday present for my sister and she loved it and we both left with stunning arrangements.

Direct Method Mosaic Workshop: Full Day
I got a gift to use at classbento and I chose mosaic workshop. The class was run by Giulia who was very talented in this art. I learnt how to cut the tiles to design a pattern. I was very happy how my end piece turned out and I will proudly display it in my house. Giulia’s studio was small but had enough room to run the workshop with 4 people and it was well equipped. I had a great time learning + more

Painting Class - Paint Your Pet
Melissa was lovely. Purchased this as a surprise birthday present for our friend and she loved it. The 2 hours flew by and our paintings made a memorable gift. Don’t be afraid to be bold and try something different! Only recommendation is to drop a message to the teacher as your email may end up in the spam/ junk folder.

Although luxurious gifts may have their appeal, it's worth considering the numerous advantages that come with learning new things and taking up exciting hobbies. By gifting an experience day in London, you're essentially providing the receiver with the gift of time - an opportunity to step away from their busy schedule and indulge in something they enjoy in their favourite city.

An experience voucher also comes with the added benefit of enabling the receiver to choose the time and date of their classes, providing them with the flexibility to incorporate creative pursuits into their schedule. It's crucial to take advantage of any opportunity to engage in something creative, as it allows you to disconnect from the daily grind, concentrate on producing something beautiful, and improve your skills - all of which have significant physical and mental health benefits. Engaging in a creative activity not only helps to reduce stress and prevent burnout, but it also instils a sense of achievement, which can enhance memory functions and focus - all in just a few hours a week! Purchase experience gifts that transcend material possessions, and gift moments that will be treasured forever.
