“Thank you for hosting this class! Absolutely 10/10. The classroom was perfectly set up, we started on time and instructions really clear. Lots of checking in and making sure I did everything correctly or if I needed help. Love my piece that I learnt with first. I was also able to take a massive vase to the class that had been chipped and do some kintsugi on that which I am so stoked about! Thank you thank you thank you :) would highly recommend.”

“Shan and her colleague were brilliant! Everything was explained slowly and very well, it was really easy to follow and we were delighted with the goodies we got to bring home. It was a lovely group of people, in a great setting. The never ending supply of refreshments and treats was a lovely surprise and we were looked after very well. I attended the session with my mum and we had such a lovely time, it was such a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon together. We will be looking at other courses we may be able to attend together. Thank you Shan!”
