I booked this class as a present for myself and best friend to do, we had such a good time, the setting of the class was really pretty, there were cupcakes handed out which were delicious and we were luckily sat next to some lovely ladies that we chatted with for the evening. The spaces were tight but there was always someone passing by you could ask for a paint colour and they helped happily. The + more

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
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

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

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.

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

The venue was brilliant: very centrally located. There is a cafe selling food and snacks, as well as a gift shop downstairs.
Aaliyah
I found this class by accident after having booked a birthday surprise elsewhere which got cancelled. It left me searching for a replacement gift for my partner at the last minute. I wasn't sure if this class would be that professional, since it was based in a little shop rather than a large scale kitchen. Since Hannah and Simon were very responsive to all of my queries, and even catered to my gluten + more

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
