i like it. It's fun

Customer

The class was well paced and thoughtfully organized. There was complimentary coffee, water, pop, and small snacks which we greatly appreciated! The class also offers plenty of time so you don’t feel rushed. Our instructors were super friendly and helpful. The space was also very clean and there was soft music. A great time for sure!

We had such a lovely time making Turkish mosaic candle holders. We went for a friend’s birthday and they even sent her home with a beautiful gift. The instructor Iris was so easy to follow and the space was great. Would absolutely take another class here and recommend to others!
