Great experience with Leila! Discovered Gesmonite, which we didn't know at all, and we left with a vacuum pocket that we had created! We recommend +++

Good atmosphere and beautiful environment. To be improved, more different forms of molding. In any case, I recommend 🤩 an atypical activity accessible to all.

A very pleasant duo activity! A very pleasant moment in a beautiful setting, and the pleasure of leaving with two objects of our own creation! I highly recommend it.

Great workshop! I had a great time. Easy to understand and do, perfect for a creative and relaxing moment. The atmosphere was friendly, and we even had a little snack while drying. I left with a beautiful creation. I'd definitely recommend it!

Lovely setting, pleasant instructor and welcome snack. But the activity itself didn't really thrill me. A bit simple for my taste.

Very poor communication from the organizer. Last minute cancellation. Insistence on my part to reschedule. Hotel name sent the day before without address. On site, measurements are given at the beginning of the session, and the organizer asks us to write them down "somewhere". She will be present and pleasant, but will remain on the surface for everything, confining herself to a limited role as moderator. The price is totally unjustified. The whole table was of the same opinion, and made no secret of it...

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed to come away from this workshop, which was offered as a gift and which we had been looking forward to with great enthusiasm. Several elements made the experience rather messy and not very fluid. We couldn't make the second object due to a lack of raw materials (it's better to plan too much than too little), but we weren't the only ones to run out of materials, as one of our creations didn't work out because the preparation was obviously too liquid to hold properly. Arriving among the last also left us with no real choice on the first object, the only remaining mold (a shell) having been allocated to us, even though we wanted to make a soap dish. Beyond these aspects, in our opinion, there are a number of small details and touches missing that wouldn't necessarily require a lot of resources, but which would make all the difference in making the experience smoother and more memorable. So we're left with a very bitter taste, despite the initial idea, which was very promising. I wouldn't recommend it, at least not with Layla.

Disappointing! - Paying 99 euros for 2 people, for 2 objects. - We were a group of 17, too many to enjoy the experience. - The process is explained orally at the beginning of the session. If you listen, fine; if you don't, too bad. - Measurements for the various molds are quickly given orally. Making laminated sheets would obviously be too expensive. - No choice of molds, they're placed on the table in front of you before you arrive. And when it came to choosing the 2nd object, there was only one model left. - the colors are restricted and don't match the color of the tube on the table (if you think it's gold, watch out, it's mustard yellow). - You'll get a lot of grief if you use too much glitter, if you don't mix your mixture well enough, or if you put powder in your mold unintentionally. - I had a mixing problem (wrong measurements indicated and double-checked by the instructor) so I couldn't leave with one of my objects. There was plenty of time to make another, but the instructor just suggested I come back for another workshop. Conclusion: Keep your money and go to cultura to get a kit, the youtube tutorials will be more pleasant and more informative.
