“My friend and I were lucky enough to receive ClassBento vouchers for our birthdays, and after some searching, we decided to book the Terrarium Workshop – and we're so glad we did! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly inviting and made us feel right at home. Our teacher, Tin Tin, was an absolute gem! He was incredibly knowledgeable about all things terrariums and shared so many fascinating insights. What truly stood out was his patience; he guided the entire group with such care, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. We had so much fun getting hands-on and creating our own miniature ecosystems. The workshop was engaging, informative, and genuinely enjoyable. The best part? We got to take our beautiful terrariums home at the end of the day! They even thought of everything, providing handy cardboard holders which made transporting our delicate creations a breeze. We highly recommend this workshop for anyone looking for a fun, creative, and rewarding experience. Thank you, ClassBento and Tin Tin, for such a memorable day!”

“Our instructor, Theo, is excellent at sharing the story behind the terrarium and guiding us through each step of the process. He pays great attention to detail and helped everyone in the class feel comfortable while creating their terrariums. I can see everyone was leaving with a big smile and their proud piece. I would definitely recommend this experience.”

“The terrarium making class was a soothing and immersive experience overall. I enjoyed the storytelling aspect and learning about the history of terrariums, which added a thoughtful, almost meditative layer to the session. The venue itself was beautiful—clearly a lot of care went into the decor and atmosphere. The jar was much larger than I expected for something labeled as a "mini" terrarium, which was great! I really enjoyed the unique packaging to safely carry the terrarium. That said, the class was occasionally a bit distracting, as customers came in and the teacher had to step away to attend to them. It would’ve been helpful to have a finished terrarium to reference, rather than the teacher using mine for demonstrations. Still, it was a lovely way to spend under two hours, and I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a calming creative break.”
