Join our one day DIY eyewear workshop in Surry Hills, Sydney!
In this hands-on session, you’ll design and make your own pair of custom glasses or sunglasses — yes, from scratch!
Whether you’re after a unique weekend activity, a creative escape, or something truly different to do with friends or a loved one, this workshop offers the perfect blend of mindfulness, design, and personal style.
No experience? No problem! This class is beginner-friendly and led by Ricky Lim, Australia’s only certified handcrafted eyewear maker (trained by MOF Lunetiers in France), with 16+ years of professional experience.
You’ll start by selecting your frame shape and acetate colour, then learn to cut, file, and sand your frame by hand. After that, we’ll help you assemble your glasses, including temple arms and comfortable custom nose pads. You’ll leave not only with a stunning pair of one-of-a-kind frames but with a renewed appreciation for handcrafted design.
Perfect for solo adventurers, creative couples, birthday gifts, or even team bonding events, this class is equal parts relaxing and inspiring. You’ll walk away with a stylish frame you crafted with your own two hands, plus a sense of pride that’s hard to beat.

Recent reviews of DIY Eyeglasses and Sunglasses Making Workshop

  • 5/5 from George Organ, attended Feb 2026: A really unique workshop. Loads of shapes and colours to choose from, and Ricky guides you the whole way to make sure you choose the right combo for you. The class itself is really hands on and you definitely walk away with something unique and handcrafted. I'm seriously considering coming back for my next pair of glasses.

LUNETTES ART LAB
LUNETTES ART LAB

5.0 (1)

I’m Ricky, founder of LUNETTES ART LAB and creator of the LUNETTES ART WORKSHOP.
For over a decade, I’ve been immersed in the world of eyewear — adjusting, restoring, designing, and eventually crafting frames entirely by hand. But I didn’t start out as a maker. Years ago, I struggled to find glasses that truly fit my face and personality. Everything felt generic, and that frustration sparked a journey — one that led me to master the craft of eyewear and share it with others.
Today, I’m proud to be the first and only certified handcrafted eyewear maker in Australia, trained by MOF Lunetiers in France — an honor I carry with deep responsibility. But beyond titles, what drives me is this belief: eyewear can change the way someone sees — and sees themselves.
That’s why I created the LUNETTES ART WORKSHOP.
This is not just a class. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience where anyone — whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned creative — can craft their own glasses or sunnies from scratch. You’ll cut, shape, sand, and assemble your frame by hand. We finish by attaching the temple arms and custom nose pads to make it truly yours. It’s not just a product — it’s a reflection of you.
Our workshops are small and personal (max 6 people), and every session is filled with quiet focus, laughs, and that amazing moment when someone holds up their finished frame with pride. That’s what I live for.
We’ve welcomed solo travelers, couples, local creatives, and corporate teams looking for a new kind of bonding experience. Many have never held a hand tool before — and that’s totally fine. We guide you every step of the way.
We’ve been featured on SBS, highlighted in local media, and have received heartfelt feedback from students who return or gift the experience to loved ones. I’ve also had the privilege of solving thousands of eyewear problems through fitting and repair — all of which enrich the workshop experience.
But above all, this workshop is about slowing down, making with intention, and reconnecting with your hands.
Come craft with us. You’ll leave with a new pair of glasses — but gain something far more personal.
