What a wonderful birthday present! Class was very relaxing. Ema was a great instructor-very informative and inspiring. Would highly recommend to anyone-you do not need to be artistic to enjoy.

I booked this with a friend for her birthday. It was the best way to send a Saturday! Ema explained everything really clearly as we went through each step and was super encouraging to all of the people on the course. It was a really relaxed and fun environment and I would recommend this course to anyone. I would definitely do it again!

Was a very nice environment and interactive. That girl that ran the workshop was lovely and friendly. There were a lot of different scents to choose from. The only thing I can say was the candle was quite small for the price.

Ikebana-Inspired Floral Arrangement Workshop
Very interesting and relaxing class. No pressure and easy for beginners. We learned the basics of Ikebana techniques and how to better take care of flowers in your home. Alina was kind and energetic and made the atmosphere very welcoming. Would recommend coming alone or with friends or a date.

Tufting Workshop for Beginners
I booked this tufting class while I was up in Auckland and honestly had the best time. I’d never used a tufting gun before, but the instructions were super clear and the whole vibe was relaxed and fun. The studio had every colour of yarn imaginable, so it was easy to get creative. I ended up making a dragon rug and I’m genuinely so proud of how it turned out.

My son gave me a voucher for Christmas to do this class together. We both really enjoyed it. The venue was very well set up and had a nice relaxing atmosphere. Our teacher was lovely and very patient. I would definitely go back to try some of the other classes aswell such as the candle making.

What a great class! Norika is amazing sharing her knowledge of cooking Japanese cuisine, and tidbits on the Japanese eating culture. I'm heading to Japan in June so was asking questions! The food was delicious, will definitely try to replicate at least the egg dish Thank you Noriko!

I didn’t know what to expect but I very much enjoyed the whole experience. Our tufting teacher guided and helped us through the process. We were closely supervised by the class supervisor, Melon the Labrador. Thank you so much for an enjoyable activity!

I had an amazing experience! The flavours of the food were incredible, fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. Every dish felt like a celebration of taste and creativity. The cooking instructor created such a warm and supportive environment, guiding us through each step with patience and enthusiasm. It was both fun and educational, I left feeling inspired and confident.

Tufting Workshop for Beginners
It was really fun and easy. You don’t need to be good at art to make cool designs. The owner is lovely. Let us reschedule 3 hours later due to us being late. Super accommodating, always asking if we needed help. The end results were better than I hoped for. I want to go back and do more intricate designs.

Perfume Making Class: Make Your Own Signature Scent
I got this for my friend’s birthday as a shared experience. I learnt lots about perfumes, how to make and how to smell :-) Louella was lovely, friendly and apologetic for the latecomers. Venue was good and lots of different drops to try. Like having my own scent to take away and the information booklet as a reminder of what we did/learnt.

Perfume Making Class: Make Your Own Signature Scent
I gifted my sister a spot in Louella’s perfume-making class so she can join me… and it turned out to be one of the best gifts for both of us! Louella’s class has truly opened my eyes (nose) and all my senses to the fascinating world of scents. I came in hoping to replicate my favourite Jo Malone fragrance, but after learning so much about the art of perfumery, I had a change of heart.

Louella’s class has truly opened my eyes (nose) and all my senses to the fascinating world of scents. I came in hoping to replicate my favourite Jo Malone fragrance, but after learning so much about the art of perfumery, I had a change of heart. Why copy when I could create something uniquely my own? This is no ordinary perfume workshop. Louella’s vibrant teaching style is packed with fascinating stories, trivia, and hands-on learning that make the process unforgettable. I wish Louella had been my high school science teacher—she explains science in such a captivating way that it would’ve been my favourite subject! She even served tea and bikkies as a thoughtful treat —- and it turns out they had an intentional purpose (which you’ll discover when you join the class!). Her creativity and passion inspire you to think outside the box and craft a scent that’s truly yours. Highly recommend it for anyone curious about the art of scent-making and looking for a creative, sensory experience! + more

Perfume Making Class: Make Your Own Signature Scent
We had a class for my friends 35th birthday and it was even better than expected! It was super fun, we learned A LOT and got to make perfumes to take home that are your own signature scent. Louella is also extremely lovely, caring and helpful. Made my friend's birthday extra special thank you Louella!

We had such a great time being part of a social activity as a team of remote workers. It was refreshing to have a break and engage in something fun together. Sheena did an amazing job sharing informative tidbits about Frida Kahlo and guiding us through the creation process step by step on Zoom. She made it super easy for everyone to follow along and get creative in real-time. The evening was a blast,We had such a great time being part of a social activity as a team of remote workers.
