“I want to give this class a five star rating and whilst it WAS enjoyable, it was very rushed which was incredibly frustrating. Mine, and several other designs weren't as complete as we'd have liked as our teacher kept telling us we wouldn't have time to do that, yet we were finished 50 minutes before the stated finishing time and at one stage she even said "oh I thought it was later". I know I could have added the extra touches I wanted in the additional time we were supposed to be have.
Our teacher was pleasant enough, but like I said, a very rushed class which was disappointing.”
“Excellent and enjoyable way to spend a Sunday morning! Maria was with us every step of the way and helped and guided us throughout our entire design and creation. Would love to do it again and get creating on another piece!”
“I recently had the pleasure of attending a beginners wood burning class, and I can’t say enough positive things about the experience! From start to finish, it was nothing short of fantastic.
First and foremost, our instructor was exceptional. She brought an infectious energy to the class, making learning both enjoyable and engaging. Her passion for wood burning was evident, and her ability to explain techniques clearly kept us all focused and excited to explore our creativity. She encouraged questions and fostered a supportive environment that made everyone feel comfortable, whether they were complete novices or had some prior experience.
As someone who has faced many health challenges, I was pleasantly surprised by how engaged and welcomed I felt during the class. The atmosphere was inclusive and accommodating, making it a perfect environment not just for individuals, but also for NDIS participants seeking therapeutic and creative outlets. The instructor was sensitive to diverse needs, ensuring that everyone could participate fully and enjoy the process.
The class itself was a wonderful social activity, ideal for individuals wanting to unwind and groups looking to bond over a shared experience. I especially appreciated how wood burning serves as an incredible outlet for art therapy. The moment I picked up the burner pen, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. There's something meditative about the rhythmic movement of the pen gliding over the wood, allowing me to dive into a state of mindfulness and creativity. It truly transported me into a peaceful space where I could let my thoughts drift away.
The setup of the class was clean and methodical, with clear instruction that was well presented. All the materials were provided, and the workspace was organized, which made it easy to focus on our projects without distractions. I loved that we had the freedom to explore our own designs while also learning the fundamental techniques from our instructor, allowing for personal expression while building our skills.
I am so happy that I booked this class; it exceeded my expectations in every way! I left feeling inspired and eager to continue my wood burning journey, jutst like the teacher. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to discover a new hobby, unwind, or simply enjoy some quality time with friends in a creative setting. It's an experience that I believe everyone should try at least once!”
“I can highly recommend this workshop. Our instructor Maria was very friendly and helpful, and I never felt rushed. I came away with a lovely cheeseboard which I will be proud to use when family and friends come to visit.”
“Loved everything from the set up, the teacher being awesome to helping out and everything was quite pleasant to doing design and finishing touches.
Highly recommend this, especially for any special occassion”
“The class was amazing!! Polly was lovely and walked us through the whole process. She didn't mind staying longer so we can have the cheeseboard perfected! Loved this class. Mum & I had a lot of fun doing this.”
