Nice experience about different shapes for dumplings - but not a lot of 'cooking'

3.00Yin the instructor was a very nice person. We had a very good time making dumplings and talking about art, Chinese history and culture, tea and other things. But regarding the cooking part, I have to say the experience was average compared to other classes I have taken. Reasons: (1) there was only 1 kind of filling for the dumplings [it would have been nice to try at least a couple and discuss the differences in the condiments and so on], (2) the filling was already prepared when I arrived [again, no opportunity to discuss how to season and possible different was to do it and so on] and (3) almost the whole workshop was about the different shapes and colours of the dumplings, which is nice, but there should be much more to a cooking class.
10/10!
