An Ode to Pets: Embroidered Pocket Shrines
4 hours
12 to 40 guests
$60
(PayPal Pay in 4 available)
What you'll do
A workshop for anyone who has ever loved a creature, lost a creature, or just wants to stitch a small, strange altar to a furry, scaly, or feathery friend!
In this hands-on embroidery class, artist and maker Liana Kappelle will guide you through the process of creating your own sentimental “pocket shrine” – a layered textile piece combining collage, embroidery, and symbolic imagery that you can keep with you, or place somewhere special. Whether you’re honouring a pet who is still by your side or memorialising one who has passed, this is a chance to craft a personal keepsake that holds memory, love, and a bit of creative weirdness.
You’ll explore foundational hand embroidery and stitching techniques, and learn how to design layered textile collages using mixed media elements. Liana will guide you in combining photos, symbols, and personal artefacts to create a portable, tactile shrine that’s both expressive and long-lasting.
No experience needed. This is a relaxed, expressive workshop for all skill levels.
Please note: This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class

We’ve teamed up with Australia’s brightest creative minds to share their knowledge and help teach you a new skill. From 3D printing and stencil art through to music and gardening – life skills and personal development through to cooking doughnuts and mushroom foraging, we offer a broad range of fun and creative short courses to suit our time poor lives. We will inspire you to pick up that pen, paintbrush, hammer or sewing machine and flick the switch that will kickstart a whole new way of life.Community values lie at the heart of our project. We collaborate with local artists and industry experts to teach classes and utilise local suppliers for any materials needed. We also provide a creative environment for emerging artists to produce and sell work, and meet like minded individuals. Work-Shop will be a space for everyone, with a rotating schedule of art shows, information nights on local issues and a whole range of events and community initiatives.
