“This is a great unique and fun activity! We made three items and it’s honestly fascinating learning to do it, it comes with ease but the staff are on hand to help you. We really really enjoyed it! The staff are wonderful, talkative and friendly. You can also get refreshments during or after the class, you don’t feel rushed you do it all in your own time. It’s located in a beautiful quiet place where they have like a pottery barn, they have dogs who want a fuss which is an added bonus! I’d 100% recommend 😀 really good activity for all ages, familys, couples, friends and groups!”
