I received this class as a gift and was initially nervous about completing the garden workshop, however Kathy made it so enjoyable. Her mother in law as assistant was also lfriendly. The class was extremely well organised and Kathy was patient and helpful. She has a lovely friendly manner which made it less daunting. I would definitely gift one of these classes or do the terrarium one next. Thanks  + more

Gardening class review by Pam Bernau - Melbourne


Nadia




I can't recommend Simone's screen printing workshop enough! I attended with my mum and sister as their birthday present to me, and we all had the best time! Simone was a great teacher and her lovely studio was the perfect setting for our small group. We left the day with a few lovely examples of our own designs and a new found love for screen printing.

Screen Printing Workshop review by Nadia - Melbourne


Amanda Croatto




The occasion was a birthday present for one of my daughters from me and another daughter, so we made up the 3 people in the class. Simone was very friendly and welcoming and we all chatted and laughed our way through the class. She was very hands-on and always there to give any assistance or support needed. The venue was great with excellent facilities for the screen printing workshop. Simone supplied  + more

Kochaporn Vimalapanich




Booked this as my cousin's birthday present and it was totally worth it. The studio was clean, organized, calm, and looked aesthetically pleasing. I was a bit worried before booking since English is not our first language, but the teacher was very kind, explaining each step clearly. Overall 10/10, would recommend, and I'll definitely go back for other workshops

Nan Wang




We had great time in the chocolate class. The teacher is nice and patient, knowledgble about makeing chocolate. All the three different flavours of liquor ganache with the dark chocolate taste absolutely beautiful. That will be wonderful present for Christmas with homemade liqueurs chocolate.

The class was a gift from my kids. My daughter and I loved the choice of menu and enjoyed eating our prize dishes afterwards. Dillion was a very a knowledgeable chef. A Great fun afternoon.

Cooking class review by Frances Thompson - Melbourne


Nate Morris




OMG! This was the best birthday present idea for my son's 9th birthday. He absolutely loved the free hand street art class and is now asking to return for more classes. He's one happy little guy and will treasure his piece which will hang pride of place in his bedroom. The staff were so friendly and helpful - my son has come away inspired and has had a huge confidence boost. THANK YOU!!!

Emma Byles




Celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary this was my gift to my husband. History, knowledge, humor and some cracker whiskey. My husband loved it. And I loved that he did. Im not a whiskey drinker, but I found it interesting and the vodka was delicious. Well worth it.

We came here for my friend's birthday, and had a great time! The teacher was very talented, and at the end, we went home with two beautiful metal hooks, plus an additional metal present that he crafted for the occasion! Would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a unique experience!

Couples Blacksmithing Workshop review by Milton Plotkin - Melbourne

Very great experience, the teacher is patient and experienced, help us a lot when making candle. Very suitable for couple, friends or family activities. I made this candle as a gift for my friend, hope she will love it!

Candle Making class review by Evangeline C - Melbourne


Meaghan Keogh




This class was given to me as a gift - I was very unsure what to expect but absolutely loved every minute of it. Hirotmi (please forgive me if my spelling is incorrect!) was so patient and helpful with me. She made sure that I understood every step very clearly before I began to work through it. I highly recommend this class to anyone - even if it is just to learn a bit about Japanese culture.

Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop review by Meaghan Keogh - Melbourne


Audrey Chong




I was there for a birthday present on hand building. It was a most enjoyable and lovely Sunday morning activity. Rue(hope I spelt the name correctly) is lovely, friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for a lovely relaxing time. The studio is in a good spot and easily accessible.

Pottery class review by Audrey Chong - Melbourne


Tina Moorthy




This soap making workshop was a blast, it was so much fun measuring mixing blending and the lovely aromas wafted in the air. We got to make an abundance of soap with the help of a very warm and friendly and giving teacher, she was very knowledgeable and imparted all her soap making knowledge on to us. We were provided with complimentary soaps and other lovely gift to take home we also had yummy sandwiches  + more

Jewellery Making class review by Natalie Holmes - Melbourne


Bianca Kanjo




I was given the session as a birthday gift and it did not disappoint. Ron is a fantastic teacher with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Starting with a flat piece of mild steel we create a great little utility knife in the traditional blacksmith way. Ron teaches us how to shape and fashion a knife using a forge, hammer and anvil, beveling the edge using a blacksmith technique then a belt grinder  + more

Metalwork class review by Bianca Kanjo - Melbourne


Alena Hermanns




I love trying new things, so making my own perfume sounded like a great new thing to try! I didn’t have many expectations as I’m not a huge perfume person or had any idea at all what this would entail. It was such a lovely workshop - very small group and lovely space. Our instructor was so nice and knowledgeable and answered all my questions. We got an extensive introduction and explanation  + more

Perfume Making class review by Alena Hermanns - Melbourne


Eden Pearson




Bought this as a gift for Mother’s Day and we both had the best time! Our teacher was so friendly and patient and there was ample time to practice and create what we wanted. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a fun day/night out doing something different. Can’t wait to see the final product!

Pottery class review by Eden Pearson - Melbourne


Eldar Rubinov




Great experience! Would highly recommend as a gift to anyone. You get to see how the gin is made, make your own and end up with a bottle of it at the end!
