I love MYO place so much. I wish I lived there! It's a lovely friendly craft space with everything needed to make, paint and craft. Sam and Diane are ever so welcoming and have created a lovely place to play. On both occasions I visited, I painted ceramics, and with their help and advice ended up with some lovely pieces to take home.
LetticeI had an amazing time doing pottery; the girl helping us was so nice and sweet with everyone; it was a great experience.
Hazel AlvaradoGreat studio and the lady working there was so friendly and helpful giving us ideas and tips to create a beautiful candle
CharlotteGreat session, very friendly and encouraging. Took me through the basic stitches and then started on a wall hanging project. She also give me threads and beads to take home and continue.
Alcia MoncrieffeWe had a brilliant time! The studio was beautiful and felt very cosy and homely, Sarah was so friendly and lovely and we just all had a wonderful time painting and chatting and having fun! Space was so colourful, and it was great to hear about all the other workshops they do there
TorHad a great time making my tote bag, Sienna was really helpful and I’d definitely recommend!
YaminahThank you so much, I was thrilled and enjoyed this workshop a lot (nice, relaxed & pro all together in a lovely atmosphere and place). You made my day and fully met all my expectations. I would recommend it without any hesitations!
MarieAbsolutely loved the space! Loved the lesson as well. It was cosy, everyone was friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and how the instructor was so patient and encouraging. Ed was so approachable and really gave us the attention we needed during the session.
ChloeMy mum and I did an embroidery workshop with the fabulous Sienna, in celebration of Mother's Day. We had such a good time, Sienna gave really clear instructions and support throughout, all with a smile and love for embroidery! We will definitely be visiting MYO again!!
Dean NewbyMyself and my friends had a wonderful experience on a pottery painting session with MYO. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Our session leader talked us through all the steps and was very helpful throughout, even got us all tea and coffee when we wanted. The range of objects to choose from was great and if you were quick at painting it wasn’t expensive to paint another on top of what was included. We were allowed to bring our own Prosecco and glasses were provided. Studio is located a couple of minutes walk from Borough Tube Station so easy to get to. It was such a lovely experience, relaxed fun!
AmyLOVED this class! It was so relaxing and a really nice, positive environment, and I also feel like I've begun a journey to learn a skill that I'll actually use. I'm excited about practicing. Edlyl was great at explaining - thanks so much!
KatWaste of money overall. I found it a little bit confusing and there was no real structure to the class. The teacher makes you produce whatever you have in mind and she checks on how you're proceeding now and then. There were some suggestions however I found it overpriced for what we actually did. Also she mentioned we could have come in 2 weeks time to collect and paint what we did but she never got back to us.
PoolaReally fun workshop! I visited with 2 friends for a birthday and we loved the painting pottery class! Highly recommend
CorneliaI enjoyed it ! Thank you.
YumiThe workshop was so enjoyable. Really well organised and lead, fun but also quite therapeutic!
EleanorWe really enjoyed the workshop and left with some great Christmas cards!
Nancy AdjeiVery fun!
ZahraBrilliant class with a lovely teacher who was kind and patient. Couldn't recommend more!
JosieThank you for a lovely afternoon! We did ceramics painting as a group, and it was a lot of fun. The experience was perfect for a mixed bag of creative experience. We enjoyed having the chance to chat and enjoy snacks and drinks in a relaxed setting, whilst also getting to experiment with different paints and patterns and produce something to take home with us! I would definitely recommend. Thank you!
JessieHad a lovely prosecco & pottery session with the fantastic Sarah! Was such a relaxing environment and really connected with my creative side which I thought I’d lost !
SophieWe did the pottery painting session with Carla for a friends hens party. It was soo much fun, the staff were super friendly and helpful especially Carla and the whole thing was a great experience. I would highly recommend for friends or team building activity. I will definitely be coming back
NatalieVery enjoyable well-informed and well-organised event. Yet to pick up my finished pot but I have faith they'll do a fine job. Definitely recommend.
HildegardeGreat way to spend a Friday night learning some new skills in a relaxed and friendly environment. Our teacher Jack was very knowledgeable and I can’t wait to use my terracotta planter at home. Would highly recommend!
HarrietAmazing class, lots of material to choose from and knowledgeable teacher! If you are looking for a creative yet relaxing activity this is the right class, super recommended
Marta RomanoWe had a lovely time! Carla was really friendly and patient with us. Great balance of giving us useful instructions and allowing us to do our thing. Will definitely be back :)
IsabellaVery good really enjoyed
SophiaReally great class happy to return again I really reccomend
SophiaDidn't feel it much of a class. The teacher (not Amy by the way, who was meant to have been specialised in textile design and embroidery at unviersity - so the description is a lie) taught us a couple basic stitches very quickly and then left us to our own devices. There were 2 other classes going on at the same time and same teacher was handling all of them. Why pay for a class if the teacher isn't even there half the time? Moreover, the other stitches weren't taught until I specially asked to be taught them and teacher was suprised I actually wanted to gosh *learn* more techniques. Pretty disappointing. I am to learn and be taught not sit and just use the provided materials.
AmmarVery nice studio with a lovely host. I enjoyed the class and learned some useful basic technics. Will defo return !
KasiaThe class was great! We had so much fun coming up with designs, carving out our lino and churning out multiple prints. Diana was super warm, welcoming and helpful in getting our prints to turn out how we imagined them, offering tips and advice throughout. A sick evening activity!
FilipI went to my first class at MYO and it was a great way to spend a weeknight! I went by myself so was a little nervous but everybody was so friendly and the whole group were chatting all evening. Our teacher Charlie was brilliant - so funny and helpful and made it possible for all of us to embroider the design we wanted..: even though some of the learners had quite ambitious ideas!! MYO is a great venue to be in , and you can see all the crafty bits displayed so I’m already planning what my next class will be!
JessieIt was amazing! I had it as a surprise event with my friends and everyone was so focused! It was a very lovely space where anyone can bring out their creativity. I would highly recommend if any one is looking for a fun and practical event for a weekend. The staffs were great in communication and super helpful!! Thank you again!
EunaReally good fun and relaxed vibe! Came away with a nice dish and coaster that I painted
LisaReally good workshop, nice that there was a small group and we were able to bring our own prosecco. The woman taking the group was brilliant and put us all at ease and gave us all fantastic guidance for our designs. Would definitely love to do this again.
GemmaGreat evening and learned lots!
SarahI have fully enjoyed the class and the host was lovely and welcoming. The place is really lovely and very easy to get to, less than 5 minutes from the Borough Station. I would definitely return for other classes in the future.
BozenaNice location, people. Shame it was so short.
LydiaGreat class! my 2nd one I plan to go again
SophiaWhat a fun class! There was an intro to colour theory and colour mixing, and Polly gave lots of 1-1 help and feedback and made us feel at ease. I think I am feeling a lot more confident with my watercolour painting. Great venue too. Thank you.
MichelleAwesome class and a great teacher! I'll definitely be back!
JessicaEverything was fine. Maybe improve the teaching, like non only trying yourself but see the teacher show us how to do it
Valerialoved the class, very nice teacher, great range of available supplies, very pleased with the result, the venue is nice too :)
LilySuch a great class! So much fun, everyone really nice and such a relaxing evening. Definitely coming back! A
AnnabelJust fantastic! A lovely evening with nice friendly people. Would highly recommend and definitely intend to go back for another class or drop in. Thank you :)
OliviaLovely way to spend an evening! The classes are quite small, only about 8 of us so that was really good. I would definitely advise to come prepared with a pattern you want to replicate - although the class is 2 hours the time runs out very quickly and I only had time to do 1 cushion cover rather than 2 which was a shame.
MadeleineIt was a great workshop! The teacher was really good and the organiser was very accommodating. Overall a fun session!
HelenSam and Diana have created an amazing venue for classes. Everywhere you look there are drawers and pots of materials. The session was a small group and we had plenty of space to work (unlike in other workshops I’ve been to). Amy (the host) explained all the steps really well and encouraged our creativity. Everybody left with cushions that looked professional
EleanorI was really impressed wth the Lino workshop. It was super in explaining the technical process and I’m really happy with the outcome! I would definitely recommend it!
KaylaI was really impressed wth the Lino workshop. It was super in explaining the technical process and I’m really happy with the outcome! I would definitely recommend it!
KaylaI had just the best time at M.Y.O on their lino printing course! Sam and Diana were extremely welcoming and kept the tea coming (the mark of a great host), and Amy was a great teacher. Together they made sure the class was accessible to all levels and really fun, before we knew it we were printing our own tea towels and cushions (all included in the price). The space itself is gorgeous, a riot of colour and full of inspiration, icluding the reference books in the library space downstairs. We are lucky to have this space in such a good location - I will definitely be back for another class!
GemmaIt was great to discover a new venue and new class. The class was a great size to try something new, supportive instructor, who was able to guide us through the class.
LeighSam and Diane were amazing hosts, so sweet, helpful, and accommodating! Reasonable pricing, as well. Would definitely go back to MYO for other activities!
SabrinaThis is my happy place. Another lovely evening escaping from the world into the friendliest craft heaven. Painted a new vase. Genuinely lovely experience as ever.
LetticeI had a fantastic time - the resources and atmosphere were brilliant, and Diana and Sam are very welcoming and helpful. Can't wait to book my next session!
