Nicole provided so many valuable tips on how to do this properly. Her fabric collection is beautifully curated so the bag looks cohesive. It was my first experience learning this technique, but not my first Bento workshop and I highly recommend this one.

A very enjoyable morning, Nicole (sensei) was very knowledgeable. Beautiful setting, lovely morning tea, clear instruction. Highly recommend this class and addictive art.

Nicole and her small studio reflected her particular creativity with plenty of pieces to peruse and inspire. The sewing packs were well organised ready to get started, with full instructions to take home. The concept is not hard to grasp but practice will yield beautiful results relative quickly I believe. I was a little slow to get started but felt no judgement or irritation by Nicole, only encouragement and flexibility. The ethos of wabi-sabi (imperfection) made my first venture into something new non-stressful. I look forward to finishing my project at home and would certainly plan to have another class with Nicole again next year.

The workshop was fun and informative. A good size - not too big. Accessing the voucher and organising the booking was super easy. Thank you.

I enjoyed the class on Saturday afternoon. Nicole was very welcoming, had a lot of knowledge and was very helpful with advice and tips. Her studio was light and comfortable and filled with beautiful items on display. The kit was very well packaged, she provided a wide range of fabrics to suit all tastes, and the written instructions for finishing off the bag were clear. I would definitely recommend the class with Nicole - and her lovely afternoon tea!
