Top Things to do in Perth This Mother's Day


By Courtenay Turner

Make Mum’s day a little more magical this year with this ultimate guide to the best Mother’s Day gift experiences in Perth! Swap those pre-arranged bouquets for a flower arranging class or opt for a paper crafting workshop over a card you bought from your local newsagent! 

If you want to show her you know her, it’s time to put your thinking cap on! Every Mum is unique, which means her Mother’s day present should be too. This year, forget the cliche Mother’s Day ideas in Perth and treat her to a unique, artisan experience that reflects her personal hobbies and interests.

Break away from the clichés (we’re looking at you, mass-produced photo frames) and make 2024 the year you take your gifts for Mum to the next level with a locally-run workshop or class, right here in Perth.

With Mother’s Day in Australia falling in May (on Sunday the 12th, to be exact), you’ve still got plenty of time to book into our wide range of art, craft and cooking classes on offer. Led by some of the best makers and teachers in Australia, our Perth-based classes make for a unique Mother’s Day gift idea that she’s sure to remember for years to come.

Whether it’s a bread making class, an alcohol ink workshop in Bassendean or a kombucha class with her friends and family, Perth is the perfect place to look when it comes to seeking out seriously good gifts for her.

Looking for what to do on Mother's Day? Send Mum to the perfect pottery class

Pottery

Does your mum have a growing collection of cute coffee mugs, rustic planters and perfectly imperfect plates and bowls in the kitchen cupboard? Sounds like a pottery class in Perth might be the perfect personalised gift for her! Whether she’s a total newbie, or she knows a thing or two about clay, booking into a pottery class is one of the best things to do in Perth this Mother’s Day.

Not Yet Perfect runs a range of laidback pottery classes in Applecross that are great for beginners and will empower your mum to create her very own unique ceramic pieces. In a warm and welcoming group setting, she’ll discover everything she needs to know to sculpt, shape and create a unique serving platter, planter or vase under the guidance of our experienced (and enthusiastic) teachers. After the class, why not spoil her with a beautiful plant to fill the pot she’s created from scratch?

If she’s keen to get a little more muddy, a wheel throwing class in the Heathcote Cultural Precinct is the ultimate Mother’s Day gift idea. In this comprehensive pottery course, she’ll learn how to throw simple shapes like cylinders (to create a cute coffee cup, of course) as well as vases and bowls. 

So your mum’s already a seasoned ceramist? Opt for something a little out of the ordinary and head along to a drawing and clay course, focusing specifically on emotion and expression. In this unique workshop in Perth, body language expert, Sophie Zadeh, combines her knowledge of human expression with the subtle art of sculpture to teach her students how to read, interpret and express emotions through art. If you’re looking for fun things to do in Perth, this clay-based class is as eye-opening as it is engaging. You and mum will walk away with a series of experimental drawings, a unique face shaped from clay and the uncanny ability to read each other’s emotions more accurately.  

While she’s sure to appreciate a store-bought vase for her favourite flowers, the most memorable Mother’s Day Perth 2024 present is likely to be a unique gift experience that empowers her to embrace a life of DIY and bring out her inner creative queen!

Create healthy, delicious treats with a fermentation class

Bread making class

Thanks to a growing body of research showing their many health benefits, fermented foods like sauerkraut, kombucha and kefir have made a comeback—and when it comes to finding the best Perth Mother’s Day gifts, there’s nothing more unique than empowering Mum to make her own delicious DIY ferments! 

If she’s been wondering how to make kombucha, or she’d like to master the art of fermentation, a local pickling class in Perth is the perfect Mother’s Day present. Why not book her into a fermenting workshop with Cameron Dall at Woodville Reserve Pavilion? Your mum will discover how to make and taste test a wide variety of fermented food such as kombucha and kimchi, as well as enjoying a relaxing yoga session and healthy lunch.   

If she’s more interested in sorghum than sauerkraut, a bread making class might be the better thing to do in Perth this Mother’s Day. Grab your apron and join Yoke from Wild Sourdough in Ardross for five hours of expert tuition, where you and Mum will learn the delicate (and delicious) art of gluten-free sourdough making. Together, you’ll discover how to make a gluten-free sourdough starter and then learn how to create your first crusty cafe-worthy loaf at home. 

For the Mum who’s always wondered how to make kombucha fizzy, or how to nourish her gut with the power of probiotics, a fermentation workshop is one of the best Mother's Day gifts in Perth. 

Discover our wide range of art classes the whole family will love

Paint and sip class

Looking for the best things to do on Mother’s Day that are good for kids? There’s no reason you can’t bring them along to a family-friendly workshop!

If your mum fancies herself as the next Frida Kahlo, or she’s always wanted to give fluid art a go, why not book into an acrylic pouring class with the team at Collective Obsessions in Bassendean? The mesmerising art of acrylic pouring is at the top of the list when it comes to finding fun things to do with your mum, and thankfully, it’s also one of the best kids activities in Perth available.

This Mother’s Day in Perth, rally the troops and dedicate the weekend to some family fun. Aside from finding a new hobby and absorbing some serious DIY skills, you’ll also soak up some quality time with your nearest and dearest.

Whether it’s cooking with aromatic flavours or painting like Picasso or something different entirely that captures your mother’s creativity, there’s a range of fun and exciting Mother's Day events in Perth for her to try. All you need to do is choose one and take your mum on the creative adventure of a lifetime!
