Simon Shooks




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.

Perfume Making Class for Beginners review by Simon Shooks - Canberra


Debra Evans




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. Satisfaction was guaranteed and supply of materials was very generous. I am very happy with my project. Would definitely do this workshop again.


Felicity Maher




I did so many workshops here and all of them are just way tooo fun! The glass turned out so elegant and so cute. That would definitely be a great gift and for dinner parties. So many color options to choose and mix. The teacher are sooo nice and helps me step by step patiently. Highly recommend, a great therapeutic artistic experience:) I will come again every fortnight! Love the bows too much. Thank you:)


Leanne Schuhmacher




I went with my mum for a birthday gift making perfumes together, the experience was great. The teacher was very skilled at explaining the process at picking a number of scents for the perfume and how to ratio the oils to make a scent that was truly personal. Picking a bottle was also really fun and the packaging and box complimentary with the experience really topped off the workshop. Definitely a  + more

Jess Vilkaitis




This was such a wonderful class! I received it as a Christmas gift and I wouldn't hesitate to gift this class to anyone. It was such a fun filled night!


Victoria Franklin




I did a candle making class with my daughter for a school holiday activity. The venue was bright, airy and clean, packed with the most beautiful assortment of displays and charming gifts. The teachers were extremely welcoming, friendly and accommodating. We were provided with a very large range of materials and options for our project. We were guided with upmost patience and encouragement through the creative process. There were many more options for our final project than I could imagine. The process ran at a very relaxed pace, providing plenty  + more


Natalie Collis




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.


Dalma Demeter




I got the class as a birthday present for a friend, and he enjoyed it tremendously, it was a great surprise gift.


Elle Henderson




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.


Robyn Cooper




Excellent BBQ Smoking class with three different meats pulled together as a very tasty lunch. The two presenters were really knowledgeable and efficient. Unfortunately it was an unseasonably windy day but spirits were high and everyone enjoyed themselves. I purchased this course as a gift for my husband and he really enjoyed it.


Rachel Graf




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.


Anna Reibelt




This class was a birthday gift to me from my husband, and my teenage daughter also enrolled in the class. We had a great time and now I have a lovely lamp for my study! The teacher was helpful and kind. I would recommend this class - you don't need to be super-artistic to end up with a great looking lamp.


Karen Hooker




I received a gift voucher for my birthday and came along on my own. I felt welcomed and included from the beginning and had a really good time. The pace was comfortable, the afternoon tea was awesome and I came away with 5 beautiful smelling candles and the kit to start making them at home. I would highly recommend going.


Laura Eason




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


Jo Bensley




Awesome Great class. Will be going back in December. Highly recommend for everyone. Great gift ideas.


Leanne O'Callaghan




Would recommend doing this pottery session. Was extremely therapeutic and fun. Amy the facilitator was very helpful and supportive. My husband and I received this as a Christmas gift and enjoyed it immensely.


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


Matias Kewe




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


Cathy Zanella




I purchased as Xmas gift for husband. He loved it! Mick (teacher) was very encouraging. Hubby is colour blind and doesn’t do much in the way of creative art. He found it relaxing and lots of fun, using the paints and his hands as the tools. Highly recommend
