Will Hams
Fresh Native Wreath Making Workshop
This was a gift from my son. I learn correct cutting and layering of plants. The importance of foliage and hero flowers. How to find the best side, and angle for making the most of my flowers. Lovely teacher, warm cup of tea on a winters day. Perfect.
Jessica Cocking
Introductory Glassblowing Workshop
I am a bit of a fan of the tv show Blown Away - so for Christmas my husband purchased us this class as a gift. What a gift it was. Our teacher Nick was knowledgeable, friendly and would assist when needed. All of the materials and equipment were included. I truly enjoyed choosing my colours and challenging myself with new skills. We’re already talking about our next class!
Akane Tanaka
This was a gift for my friend’s birthday and we both had a blast. The instructions given were easy to follow, the vegan pasta and pizzas were super tasty and overall a lot of fun. We also got to take some pasta home! The venue was great, Salts Meats Cheese Circular Quay is a lovely venue next to the harbour. This is a great gift idea for friends or family, and such great value considering the amount + more
Kimberley Buck
Sip and Create Floristry Workshop
Took my mum to this class as a gift for mother’s day, we had such a lovely time. Jemina’s fun energy made the whole experience very enjoyable. Location was extremely easy to get to, only a couple minutes from Chadstone. We’re already looking at the next class to do :)
Megan Kinsey
Clay and Sip Pottery Class: Brisbane
Had a great time creating with my daughter at the clay and sip, a birthday gift from my daughter. We chatted and were creative with some great encouragement from Tiger our teacher for the afternoon. I loved the less structured more creative approach of the class. Will definitely be back. Thanks :-)
Jamie Thomson
American Smoking BBQ Cooking Class
What an incredible experience. I've always been so intrigued with cooking and specifically American low and slow style barbecue, but have never really known where to start. This gift gave me the push to get going, and the way it was explained during the class simplified the steps. The teachers were informative and charismatic, making it insightful and fun. A beer in arrival, bbq lunch at the end, and + more
Annie Wong
Creative Pottery Class for Kids
Great activity. And great gift for kids of all ages. Younger children will need more assistance. We got given big blobs of clay, enough to make what was suggested and more. My 7 yr old was engaged for the whole 2 hours. There were older children in the group and they enjoyed it too. Highly recommend! P.s. food at the cream house is yum too
Alison Jackson
Came here for a birthday present and Emma was great, it was our first time working with clay and the class was very easy to understand and we got to make some cute little pots

I thoroughly enjoyed this amazing class. Venue was good set up and teacher very approachable and knowledgeable. One of the best birthday presents I've received. I can't wait to do more classes.
Shannon Redpath
Pottery Wheel Throwing Class: Make a Ceramic Piece
I brought the class as a gift for a couple of girlfriends and we attended together on a lovely Sunday afternoon. The teacher George was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He was actually pretty funny too. He explained about the origins of the clay and the process of making the pieces. We really enjoyed the class immensely. Can’t wait to pick up our pieces.
Kate Sharkey
Eclairs and Profiteroles Baking Class
I booked the eclairs class for my husband's birthday and it did not disappoint! We both love eating choux pastries (who doesn't?) and so I thought what better gift than an experience we could do together as well as learning a new skill. The class at La Marais was everything you would expect and more. Joel is a real deal French Pastry Master with so much experience to share. While I have baked a lot + more

Porcelain Glazing Class: Glaze Your Own Cups
Me and my partner received this class as a Christmas gift last year. Laura (the teacher) was super friendly, helpful in offering guidance and created a good environment for us to play around with whatever designs we wanted and have fun with it. Venue was easy to park at and had super chill warehouse vibes. The cups provided was a really nice cavas to paint since it was big enough and not too many weird + more

We did it as a Mother’s Day present with my two 11 year olds. It was awesome. Sarah let the girls follow their imaginations to build some unique pieces. Highly recommended.

Glass Blowing Class for Beginners: Taster
My husband bought me a gift voucher for my birthday and chose this unique experience. Mark is so experienced and it was great to see him in action and learn from him. Such a great class and definitely worth it.
Wendy Lewis
I absolutely LOVED my private Cricut class with Sez. I have had my Cricut Maker for a couple of years and haven't been confident in using it for much more than cards. My daughters gave me a mothers day gift voucher to do another ClassBento class (Terrarium) and I loved it so much. I saw the Cricut Classes on offer when booking that class so I decided to use my birthday money I was given to book + more

If you’re on the Lower North Shore, you’re in the perfect spot for trying pottery, with funky studios like Klaypots and Silky Shapes in Crows Nest, Print Paint Pot in Artarmon and Crockd in Neutral Bay. Each offers beginner-friendly pottery classes and courses in both clay hand building and wheel throwing.

From healthy Japanese dishes to authentic Italian favourites, you’ll learn how to whip up some of the tastiest food you’ve eaten. Down south on the Gold Coast, have fun with paint and sip at The Sweet Fine Artist Studio in Mermaid Beach.

Our unique experience gifts in Australia are the perfect opportunity for bonding with loved ones, with each of our hands-on workshops designed for shared participation, fostering connections and enjoying quality time. They also come with scheduling flexibility, allowing your gift recipient to choose when and where they'd like to partake.
