Filipa made the environment so helpful and was constantly going around to everyone making sure they could create the pieces they envisioned. She was beyond sweet and the class flew by because we were having so much fun! Took my mum for Mother’s day and she’s already wanting us to sign up for the 6 week course so we can have more time there. I highly recommend this experience and we can’t wait to do it again :)

Teacher Davide was lovely and patient - took a very chilled and easygoing approach and let us do a lot of exploring ourselves instead of being overbearing, but being there to help. Thank you!
