the class itself was great but the communication after wasn’t ideal, I had to chase a couple of times to collect my pieces (I think as soon as a delay was possible I should’ve been messaged) and the pick up was really delayed. I could have also done with more guidance during the class as I made a container for my pieces to go in and was told it was big enough, but sadly when I picked it up the pieces didn’t fit inside :(

Emily is a great teacher with patience, I came with some drawings of what I would like to make, we picked one and started. Throughout she guided me and stepped in when needed. Would definitely recommend booking a class with her!
