Great intimate perfume making experience. I liked the variety of scents and the option to make a roller vs spray perfume.

One-time Pottery Class - Manhattan
Went to celebrate my birthday with my boyfriend and another couple. We had the BEST time!! None of us had ever made any pottery before and our instructor made it so easy and enjoyable, we're already planning our next class!

Rebecca and her team were extremely knowledgeable, timely, and, most importantly, FUN! From the in-depth breakdown of the science behind mixology to the custom-made cardamom simple syrup and habanero extracts, this was not your average mixology class.

Ikebana Class: Fun Beginner Lesson
Class was so lovely and intimate. I love the small group setting and the attention Junko provided for us in class. This was a mother daughter experience for Mother’a day and it was perfect. Thank you!!

Great and easy to follow class! The host helped us ensure we had perfect latte art and even let us make our drinks togo :)

The teacher was phenomenal and hilarious. I was particularly impressed during the Q&A at then end where our questions were answered thoughtfully and thoroughly showcasing his true knowledge on the topic. I wish we went a little more in depth with the ritual however there are private classes available for that that we were made aware of.

I loved all the different variations taught! I learned a lot. I did not think I would enjoy the bean toast but that ended up being one of my favorites!! Very simple and feel confident I can now make these on my own :)

Ceramics Workshop for Mindfulness: Tea Cups and Tea

Terrarium Workshop: Sip and Plant
I had an amazing time in this workshop. Instructor was helpful, friendly and natural. Having a sip while we are relaxing during the class was also so enjoyable. Happy to have a terrarium in our home right now. It is very good plus that I can get all the kit with me so I can do other one if I want to do it. Definitely recommend it.
Magalie Busch • May 2024
The teacher was very friendly and helped us through the process. She was very accommodating. We also loved the free time painting on the walls and splashing each other with paint.
Gary Arrick • May 2024
This was a great time and nice change for our family of 4 for Mother’s Day. 2 teachers with 2 diff styles but were complementary of each other. Great venue and location. We also lucked out with a good group to spend some time with. Highly recommend.

Husband’s anniversary gift to me. We had a fun time and loves our candles! The trivia game was a fun way to spend time waiting for our candles to set and a bonus we didn’t have yo come back a long distance to pick them up. Would definitely recommend this class!!

I really liked Elena’s drawing class very much! It was very focused and required completely different skills from the painting class I took with her. She explained in detail the importance of shadows and perspective of the objects individually and their relationship to each other. Elena is always with you observing and directing you to accomplish the goal of bringing these objects in the room toI really liked Elena’s drawing class very much!

So much fun and well organized.I want to do it again! I just wish that the bar had been open. I could’ve had a Bloody Mary beforehand.

There were so many fantastic options for plants and absolutely everything that we needed was included. We all walked away with a custom, beautiful, and fun terrarium to display in our homes. Our instructor even offered the mothers some paid upgrades for free. We felt that this was a fantastic value for our money and will absolutely be coming back again in the future. + more

Loved spending time here building pottery with my mom on Mother's Day! We both enjoyed the creative exploration, relaxing cafe environment, guidance from our teacher, and delicious pastries. Highly recommend!
Susan Rodriguez • May 2024
Hosts were very friendly and gave precise instructions as well as made it fun. Was a great mother’s/daughter’s activity, it was fun creating a scent for the candles we made. Materials were included and made three candles of the same scent but my daughters and I were able to swap candles. I had a great time, I definitely recommend it and I plan to go back again.

Went to make a chefs knife class for my 40th birthday and this was such an amazing experience! Jeff was a great instructor and made the day super fun and engaging. We got to be very hands on and truly make the knife our own. Great date for couples and a great unique gift.

Sandro was excellent! Will definitely come back for another class!! Highly recommended. Make sure you book this class!!!
Brett Seigle • May 2024
What a great cooking class! Dona was so personable and was able to break everything down in such an attainable way. The atmosphere and general vibe of the class was welcoming and all encompassing. I already plan to come back for at least one more class, the pasta one!

Succulent Arrangement Workshop
Went for my birthday! The teacher was very soft spoken and nice, offering suggestions as we worked on our succulent arrangements. It's in a coffee/boba shop connected to a yoga studio. There's not a lot of room, but enough for what we needed. The café was also open as we worked on our arrangements. She provided us with all the materials to make a cute succulent arrangement, so we could all get creativeWent for my birthday!

There's not a lot of room, but enough for what we needed. The café was also open as we worked on our arrangements. She provided us with all the materials to make a cute succulent arrangement, so we could all get creative with how our arrangements looked. I think the only thing I would have hoped was offered as a tool was tweezers to get some small rocks between tightly packed spaces, but that's a small nitpick when everything else was included, including pipettes we could take home to water our succulents. Considering how we took almost the full two hours and got to take home our arrangements, I think the class was worth the money. I learned quite a bit in case I wanted to do this activity on my own, which I think I may in the future. I think what I liked most was looking at how lovely everyone's arrangements turned out! Awesome class, would recommend! + more

Ikebana Class: Fun Beginner Lesson
Dear Junko, thank you for the private lesson and making this day a special birthday. This was our first Ikebana class, but definitely not our last. We are enjoying our arrangements everyday! Cory & Chris
