Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
Brandon was an amazing teacher, very patient, welcoming and had a great sense of humour. I booked this class as a birthday gift for my Aunty and I to do together, she really enjoyed it and loved her kintsugi bowl to take home.
Ingrid
Asian Cooking Class: Dumplings and Wontons
Did this as a present for my mums bday. Not only did we learn how to make the dim sum but our teacher was so knowledgeable and we got the whole history and story of how different dumplings came to be! Highly recommend.

Textured Silver Ring Making Workshop
Denna is an amazing teacher, a welcoming hostess and just gave off good vibes. She talked the whole class through every step of making our beautiful rings, her explanations were easy to understand and follow and if you got confused she was there to help. The equipment was all great standards and easy to use. Overall a great experience, I got it for my best friend as a birthday gift and it is an experience + more

I’ve booked it as a birthday present activity. The teacher was very attentive thus making the class enjoyable for us too. It was a lovely studio that gives out an intimate vibe. Will definitely be back again in the future :)
Nathania Dacosta-Hyman
I booked this as a present for my sisters birthday. The experience was wonderful. The teacher was bubbly and knowledgeable. We each got to leave with our very own silver rings that we soldered, hammered and customised.
Julie Lambourn
This was present from my son (Charlie) last Christmas. The teachers were great(Keisha and Renaye) it was explained very simply, we made scented candles. As it was a gift I don’t know how my son paid. The setting was lovely, our teachers were very personable, nothing was too much trouble. I left my reading glasses there and they were very happy to post them. A great experience all round.

Japanese Pottery Class: The Golden Art of Kintsugi
Was really pleased with this experience as a gift for my sister. Amanda is a great teacher and the class was really fun! The small group size, the inspiring creative space and the multiple choices of materials really made this class very unique and good value for money! Time flew by!

Pottery Making Taster Workshop
The perfect gift experience. A friendly atmosphere for both groups and individuals. Very cool space and chilled atmosphere. Amazing teachers who were encouraging and helped at each stage if needed. Great value for money in learning the basics, using the wheel was a highlight and very excited to see the results after the kiln!
Loukas Angelou
Ikebana Flower Arranging Workshop
The ikebana course was 2 hours and they have managed to fit a lot into it. We got taught the basics but enough to give us a base to start creating our ikebana arrangements. The group was small, which helped to follow the steps, interact and get to ask questions the teacher. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to give this as a present or see if ikebana is something that they are passionate + more
Lucy Fox
Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
I booked this as a birthday present for a friend and we both LOVED IT. Brandon was a great teacher, he was super patient and made the space feel very comfortable. I would recommend this activity to everyone I know, great way to spend a couple of hours in a mindfulness activity where you can focus and be creative and get a beautiful end result!
Daniel
Clear directions to location. Teacher was friendly, enthusiatic, put you at ease from the get go, and willing to answer all questions throughout the workshop. The materials provided were of great quality, with clear instructions of how to use them along the way. A great introduction to Kintsugi, ideal as a single/couple/group or as a gift for someone looking for craft ideas
Tamara Barton-Campbell
I received a voucher from my sister as a gift and decided to embark on a solo adventure for some fun. With the Easter bank holiday providing ample time, I dove into the experience eager to learn and play. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and infused the session with humor, making them perfect contenders for stand-up comedy. I appreciated the intimate setting and the diverse mix of guests, + more
Seema Chopra
I bought the introduction to table top making course as a gift for my partners birthday. Dan was really informative, thorough, knowledgeable and funny! The venue was fantastic, a lovely studio set on the Thames, with lots of light and really tidy and inspiring. The equipment was in good condition and we had access to so many tools. We mainly used the router, sander and circular saw. We were taught + more
Maisie Wood
Pottery Making Taster Workshop
I came with a friend as a birthday present and it was so much fun! All our pots turned out great and the teachers were so helpful and made sure we came away happy with what we’d made. I also think it’s great value for money so I would definitely come again!
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
Tom
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

Wheel Throwing Taster Workshop
It was a birthday present for my partner. The teacher was really good, helpful, encouraging and gave attention to all class members. The venue was fine and spacious. We were given lots of pieces of clay to work with. I learnt how to throw the clay on the wheel how to bring the clay up to make the clay taller. I feel the class was good value for money and the fact that it was fun and nobody was + more

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
