Laura Turner
I was given a voucher as a present and decided to do a Sauce cooking course at The Avenue Cookery School. Diana was a very engaging teacher. She gave us really good tips and solutions including recipes for sauces that were flexible and useful for so many dishes. She explain the logic of the cooking process without prescribed instructions. Lovely relaxed afternoon and lunch.

Pottery Making Taster Workshop
The perfect gift experience. A friendly atmosphere for both groups and individuals. Very cool space and chilled atmosphere. Amazing teachers who were encouraging and helped at each stage if needed. Great value for money in learning the basics, using the wheel was a highlight and very excited to see the results after the kiln!

Kintsugi Pottery Class for Beginners
We had an amazing time at Brandon’s class - Brandon is a brilliant teacher who gave us clear instructions and great vibes! This experience was an engagement gift for us from friends and I couldn’t recommend this class enough for celebrating an occasion, or just for a fun evening! We will treasure our beautiful bowls forever x
Del Ganly
It was a Xmas present for my Wife +1 (me) We both really enjoyed it, the teacher was a good laugh and amazingly, remembered everyone's names from the start! Our new silver rings look fantastic and our friends are now booked on the next course because they were so impressed of our great time. All materials and tools are included in the price, and Spitalfields is well worth a visit anyway
Hollie
The dim sum making class was given to me as a birthday gift and wow, we had the best evening! Will was amazing from start to finish- he made us feel so welcome (and made us laugh throughout). He was really encouraging and, goes without saying, beyond knowledgable. The 3 different types of dim sum we made were so fun to make (and tasted delicious, we loved eating them afterwards!) It’s such a nice + more
Chloe Day
Myself and my friend went as a birthday present to a Sip and Paint class. The class was relaxed and our teacher Sophia was brilliant. We had everything we could possibly need and the drinks were easily accessible. Sophia gave us step by step advice which was easy to follow as well as coming around to help us 1:1 on certain aspects of our painting. We had a fabulous time and we’re really pleased with + more
Marina
I booked this class for a birthday present for a friend and three of us went. The teacher was really nice and helpful, she spread her time evenly, and she answered all our questions. There was enough time for one object repair and someone had enough time to fix his own bowl as well. All materials were provided and of great quality, and the ceramics are upcycled. The venue was very nice, just a bit + more

Silver Jewellery Casting Workshop
Husband bought the casting class for me as a present and I absolutely loved it. Penny is a fantastic teacher and the class was such a good value for money; a whole day plus materials and so many pieces to take away. I’m definitely going back for more classes
Eden Blakeman
We had Elena as our teacher and she was great - super nice and interactive. It was a guided painting class so we essentially watched her paint something step by step and copied, but she also gave us the artistic freedom to make changes. I did this with my brother as a present for him and it was really nice to spend time together painting!
Ivana Hodekova
Bendy Boy Candle Making Workshop
Amazing and fun class! Teacher was very knowledgable and always happy to help. Love my candles and will use them as extra little gift for my family. Would definitely like to do it again.

Ewa is a great teacher and very friendly. She made us feel welcome and was very patient in answering all our questions. She offered tips to each one of us on how to make our wreaths turn out amazing. The venue was an adorable flower shop, very cosy and beautiful. There was Xmas music and a glass of bubbly or tea to add the festive touch. We all had fun and laughed together and it was a great experience. + more

Pottery Making Taster Workshop
Beautiful charming studio. The instructors Rosa, Cherie and Suzy were so helpful, fun and informative and struck the perfect balance between giving you independence and also stepping in if you wanted them to, to guarantee you came away with some pieces you were happy with. I surprised my partner with this class as a gift and he had a great time and is really excited to pick up our pieces once they're + more
Khaliesah Bolhassan
This was the perfect gift for my partner's birthday. Our instructor was very friendly and attentive, and a great teacher. The group was a lot smaller than I expected which meant each of us got plenty of attention and help from the instructor. The studio itself was beautiful as well. I would love to go again and I would definitely recommend it!
Karina Germanovic
Amazing experience, it was a birthday gift and I love it, thank you, I recommend!
