My sister and I really enjoyed this craft and the teacher was knowledgable and helpful about the craft
The whole experience was so relaxing and therapeutic!
We had such a wonderful experience at this workshop! Ihsuan was incredibly patient and guided us step by step throughout the entire coffee painting process, making it easy and enjoyable even for beginners. I especially loved the concept of recycling used coffee grounds and turning them into beautiful art. The coffee grounds also gave off pleasant coffee aroma, which made the whole experience even more relaxing and unique. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a meaningful activity!
I really enjoyed this creative experience.
I had a great time at this workshop and really enjoyed learning such a unique style of traditional Chinese art.
Lovely experience, I-Hsuan is super patient and experienced! Perfect for a gift or just a nice day out
Workshop是在一家超安静环境超好的咖啡店小屋里，老师还会帮忙点咖啡。我们玩的是锡箔，老师会超耐心的指导，告诉我们怎么玩，然后留足够的空间时间让我们自由发挥。我之前对做手工画画这些不感兴趣的，是男朋友第一次带我来…来完就直接爱上！！平时周末就在家刷手机随便躺躺，这次玩了3个小时，投入创作的感觉特别好，感觉心都静静地～玩完老师还会给相框帮我们裱起来，完全是超值的一个情侣周末约会活动好嘛！！
Really enjoyed the class, very fun to focus on! Love the finished work too!
Really enjoyed the workshop- great instruction and help and the four hours flew by. Really pleased with our results.
We had such a lovely time at this workshop, the atmosphere was so relaxed and the instructions were all really clear and easy to follow! We're really happy with the coasters we made, and the time passed so quickly!
I cannot recommend this workshop enough! I-Hsuan was really kind and encouraging throughout the whole thing, helping us create something we were really proud of. We were also really late because of the marathon and she was very patient and understanding which we really appreciated! If you have never tried wire art or sand art, I would really encourage you to try it with I-Hsuan, she is a really great teacher and you will have a lot of fun doing it.
Me and my friend had the best time at this workshop!! The teacher I-Hsuan was so kind, very thorough, and helped me out with all the fiddly wire bits! I would definitely recommend booking
We had a fantastic time at the bronze wire art coaster workshop. We really weren’t sure what to expect before going, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was really interesting, surprisingly therapeutic, and there was lots of help and guidance throughout. Would definitely recommend!
An excellent class with a very knowledgeable teacher. We were shown examples of coasters and given advice about what kind of design works. She then explained how to fix the foil onto the coaster giving help where needed. She showed us how to mix the colours and how to put them into the coaster design. We were really pleased with the final result. Highly recommend for a very enjoyable workshop.
We had a lovely time, it was very well organised and I loved the location as well. Our teacher, I-Hsuan, was very patient with us and explained everything clearly. It was fun, therapeutic, and she shared some knowledge and history about the art.Would definitely recommended it.
Amazing and friendly. Great guidance!
Amazing class learnt so much about enamel. Instructor is very friendly and helpful. You can make your own design.
A fantastic workshop. The floral bronze wire technique was beautifully explained and very satisfying to learn. It was creative, relaxing, and I left with a piece of art I love.
Absolutely amazing day. Informative, fun, therapeutic, creative…..ok I’ve run out of words lol. Definitely a great day and fantastic welcome etc
Hi my husband and I really enjoyed this. An unusual craft that we didn’t know about previous to looking through what was available. The teacher has a lot of patience and the atmosphere was relaxed, we were the only ones. Very proud of what we made.
This was a lovely workshop. Our teacher I-Hsuan was very welcoming and friendly and created a lovely environment with relaxing music and refills of barley tea (which was delicious). She was very patient and helpful and my friend and I really enjoyed the experience and seeing our creations come to life. We will definitely be back! Thank you, I-Hsuan!
Ihsuan is such a kind and lovely person, she was so helpful in this class and I appreciated that she allowed extra time for us to complete our enamel coasters as there were 3 of us and we also had a restaurant booking at Zen Sushiya straight after. We were able to eat during our booking and finish off the coasters afterwards. My tip would be simple designs are easier and quicker, the gold wiring part took us the longest and Ihsuan was patient and talked us through it. She is a very intelligent and knowledgable person who’s studied art history. It was a delight to talk to her. I would recommend her class and would return again.
Fantastic class! Different to what I've ever done. Time flies learning a new skill! Thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend. Thank you.
Such a fun group activity! Everyone was really helpful and kind and it was such a lovely place! We really enjoyed making the coasters! :)
The class was very enjoyable in a relaxed atmosphere, the teacher was very helpful and super patient. Great conversation about art was a bonus! Highly recommended!
Excellent class - our teacher was really supportive and patient throughout.
This was an amazing class. I Hsung was amazing and patient. The work took far more time than I had anticipated but it was worth the time. My mum and I took away a lovely piece of art and are both feeling ready to try more!
