Reviews for our Birthday workshops
Debbie Mancuso
Signed up my bestie and myself for this class as a birthday celebration. It was a lovely experience. Abdulkadir is a kind and gracious host who treated us as honored guests. He guided us through the mosaic process and worked on a lamp at the same time so we could see what to do before we did it ourselves.

Abdulkadir is a kind and gracious host who treated us as honored guests. He guided us through the mosaic process and worked on a lamp at the same time so we could see what to do before we did it ourselves. It was a Turkish cultural experience as he also played Turkish music while we worked and even treated us to a live performance of his own music. The class exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend it. Bestie and I are already planning to sign up for Abdulkadir’s terrarium class because this was so fun. + more

Yana was amazing, she made this class such a perfect learning experience! It was such a fun evening, amazing talks and we learned a lot about making cocktails. Btw the bar was beautiful, but you should make the course and see it by yourself. A wonderful Birthday- present

I wanted to do something different to celebrate my birthday so a friend and I enrolled in this class. It was so much fun! The teachers were upbeat, personable and helpful, there were a million different materials to choose from and my friend and I both adore our creations. It was hands-on creativity and laughter from start to finish. I came in from San Rafael and my friend came in from Vallejo.

This was my first time doing a paint & sip ever & as well virtually. Our paint teacher Annie was so nice, filled with great communication, & she was so patient with us lol. It was so relaxing & fun as we celebrated our friends birthday. I would so recommend her class to everyone.

Ceramics Class: Sculpt a Garden Vessel
This was such a beautiful experience! It made my birthday extra special to have this mindful moment with friends around nature and then to create something unique with my hands. Our instructor, Lyss, was amazing in every way and made our class fun and relaxing! I will definitely want to try more classes in the future.
Robert Kim
We booked Chef Elham’s sushi class to celebrate a birthday and had an excellent time. Initially our group was a little reserved at the start, but Chef Elham made us feel super comfortable in no time. All of the ingredients were prepared ahead of time and she made the experience of making sushi not intimidating at all. Additionally, everyone in our group was stuffed by the amount of food we made and ate. I would recommend this class for any group of friends and look forward to taking other classes by Chef Elham in the future!
