Although there wasn’t a special occasion that weekend, it turned out to be an incredible way to spend my time. The instructor was fantastic—he was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable about the craft. He explained the steps clearly, making sure everyone felt comfortable, even if it was their first time doing something like this. He also gave us creative freedom while guiding us through the technical details, which made the class both fun and educational. The venue was well set up and had a cozy, creative atmosphere. It was the perfect space to work on something as intricate as a Turkish lamp, with plenty of room to spread out and choose materials. Soothing Turkish music played in the background, adding to the peaceful and inspiring vibe of the class. Speaking of materials, I was really impressed with the range and quality provided—vibrant mosaic tiles, beads, and glass pieces in all sorts of colors and patterns. Having so many options really allowed me to customize my design, and I loved the final outcome of my lamp, which turned out beautifully! I attended the class with someone special, and it was wonderful to share this creative experience together. His lamp design was actually the most beautiful one in the class! During the class, we learned how to arrange the tiles and beads on the lamp base to create intricate designs, and we got to experiment with different techniques to secure them in place. I had so much fun seeing my vision come together, and it was fascinating to work with these traditional materials. As for value, I think the class was absolutely worth it. Not only did I leave with a gorgeous handmade lamp, but also with an enriching experience that I’ll always treasure. I wouldn’t mind doing the class again, just to try out a different design and experiment with new patterns and colors for another version of the lamp. What I liked most was the hands-on creativity. It was so rewarding to see a simple set of materials turn into something uniquely beautiful, and it gave me a real sense of accomplishment. Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill or simply enjoy a relaxing and creative afternoon, this class is definitely worth trying! Lastly, a huge thank you to Shirley for this gift—it was the best birthday present ever! + more

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

Hand Building Class: Garden Flowers
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.
Jessica Kisiel
I was gifted a tufting session from my family for my birthday & I had so much fun! All materials & tools were provided (they were great quality!), and the teacher was fantastic. Everything was explained so clearly and my finished piece looks absolutely amazing. I can't wait to go back for more! It's a perfect gift idea, date idea, something fun to do with kids or even solo.

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.
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.

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.

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.
Moira Byrne
Well-prepared, patient, encouraging teachers. Lovely finished products with packaging ready for gift giving. A great time! Thank you so much.

I bought a voucher for two teenage girls and they absolutely loved the class. It was fun and engaging and they met crafty, like minded people of all ages. Gorgeous little space full of good vibes and creativity. The teacher was fantastic and we can’t wait to see the end result! Nothing but love, great bday gift
