It was exactly what I hoped it would be. A great gift for my daughter and a fun activity we got to share. The process was made really easy thanks to the staff who explained everything and helped make it simple to get it right.

I had a great time. My instructor Gaye was so welcoming and very easy to talk to. The experience was a gift from my daughter. Instructions were clear. While some materials were set out ready to begin, we were all encouraged to look at the other options and choose something different if we wanted to.

There were many more options for our final project than I could imagine. The process ran at a very relaxed pace, providing plenty of time to wonder at all the displays and project options. My daughter and I were thrilled with our final project, which, at the end of the class were carefully and beautifully gift wrapped. This was a special day for us, so I was happy to pay what I now believe to be an extremely reasonable price for the service, materials and options provided. I could not have been happier with the class, especially the warm and welcoming atmosphere provided by the teachers. + more

A wonderful mothers day gift and opportunity to try something new. Materials were all provided and no material limitation to create as much as wished in the timeframe.

My granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed this class. Gay was very patient and encouraging and the result was two wonderful art works. I will definitely get another gift voucher in the future.
Soumya Joshua
Perfume Making Class for Beginners
I attended a perfume-making class on December 7th with a friend—it was a birthday gift from my family. The experience was absolutely amazing! The instructor was fantastic; she made sure we felt comfortable, even if we knew nothing about making perfume. Her reassurances that nothing could go wrong and that any mistakes could be fixed really gave us the confidence to dive in and enjoy the process. It was such a fun and creative experience, and I can't recommend it enough. A big thank you for making it so special!
Elle Henderson
Perfume Making Class for Beginners
My sister and I took part in the perfume making class. It’s was so wonderful to learn how a perfume is constructed and the care it takes. Such an easy class to be apart of, as our teacher went through everything before we started and was able to guide us during. I thought I was going to be overwhelmed with the amount of scents but your nose and brain will tell you what you like. Comes packaged with you own label and gift box. 10/10 experience.
Rachel Graf
Glass Painting Workshop for Beginners
Great bday present for my granddaughter. Teacher was very helpful and all materials were provided for our glass painting. Class was great value for money and provided an opportunity to slow down and be creative. Thank you so much for an enjoyable evening.

Introduction to Painting Course
I was given this class through a gift voucher and I found it to be an enlightening and engaging experience. Margaret was encouraging and direct, providing excellent instruction in the technical detail of painting. Lessons began with colour mixing, to learn to make any colour shade from the basic colours, with the following weeks focusing on water colour, oil painting techniques, and drawing in perspective. Margaret provided access to high quality materials, which provided an excellent platform to learn.

Introduction to Painting Course
I revived this course as a birthday present and had never heard of Margaret or the artists shed before starting! What a fabulous introduction to painting. We covered a lot and I also walked away with some lovely art pieces that have inspired me to keep painting/drawing. Will definitely be doing more classes with Margaret in the future :) Thanks so much for a great four weeks Laura

Purchased as a birthday gift for sisters. They had a fantastic time with the teacher and live their Whimsical creations.
Jeanie Bruce
This was so much fun and so informative. I’ve never made soap before, but the process was really easy and very clearly explained. The 2 hours flew by and being such a small class meant I had lots of opportunities to ask questions. This was a birthday present to myself - what a great gift

Canberra Hidden Women's History Walking Tour
Lucy was great! The tour was great! The tour flew by and I learnt so much. As a person that identifies as male but is curious to know more about this Capital of ours, I'm supremely glad I took the time to partake in this activity. I was gifted this experience as a gift and immediately upon finishing it I was wondering who I could gift it to in turn. Many thanks to the She Shapes History, it's so great to be witness people people share their passion. I rate this tour a Canberra must-do.
Donna Stove
Our instructor Emily was calm and patient, and really nice. This was a Mother's Day present for my Mother in Law and myself and it was money well spent. We both had a wonderful time and love our beautiful lamps! Highly recommend
