Drawing with Pattern Workshop

Learn the relaxing art of drawing with patterns.



2 hours Location St Peters Class size 6 to 12 guests   $100

Do you love patterns? Do you enjoy doodling and drawing while on the telephone or in meetings? Are you looking for a new hobby and a way to relax and have fun after work? If so, this is the right drawing class for you.
Your instructor, Sophie Cooper, has been doing this type of drawing for over 35 years and will guide you to create your own versions. The class includes everything you need to get started, as well as inspiration and tips so you can extend your new drawing skills after the class has finished. No drawing experience is necessary.
At Made By Me Workshop, we believe craft is as much about creativity as it is about connection. In our workshops, you have the opportunity to meet new friends, share stories, laugh and simply enjoy some time out for yourself. We have coffee and tea-making facilities, as well as a few snacks to sustain you through the workshop. If you prefer your caffeine barista-made, you can pick one up on your way in from our neighbouring cafe Aslan (150m up the road).

  • 5/5 from Lynne Segal, attended Jan 2026: The two hours went by so quickly, but in the end I walked away having learned new skills that can be applied to a whole lot of mediums.
  • 5/5 from Rowena Nelson, attended Jan 2026: Relaxing, informative and Sophie is a great teacher. A beautiful space to learn and create.
  • 5/5 from Kate Leavey, attended Jan 2026: This workshop was very enjoyable and chill. It makes approaching artwork in the future less daunting, be it drawing with pen or other media eg pottery mark-making (sgraffito). Sophie was very encouraging and positive. There was tea and homemade biscuits, plus a friendly pup to pat!
  • 5/5 from Sarah Tresidder, attended Nov 2025: Everyone loves doodling, but this class was a focused look at some of the scribbled marks we make - and developing them into actual designs. The class encouraged a very spontaneous way of working. Before long, we were engrossed in our designs and focusing on each specific task. I particularly enjoyed Sophie’s class as she encouraged us to draw freely without constraints. She pointed out that many of us say we ‘can’t draw’ but the end results proved otherwise. It was a lovely afternoon!
  • 5/5 from Susan Brindle, attended Jan 2025: Enjoyable and very productive workshop. Sophie was so generous in making her resources available. i feel inspired to apply the techniques i learned.
  • 5/5 from Cathy Pocaterra, attended Jan 2025: What an absolutely fantastic experience! Sophie was incredible, her expertise, talent, and calming presence made all the difference. The Made By Me Workshop itself provided such a soothing and inspiring atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for creativity to flourish.
  • 5/5 from Rowyn Pepper, attended Jan 2025: Really valuable, intimate and enjoyable
  • 5/5 from Anne-Marie Richardson, attended Oct 2024: Lovely class, Sophie had prepared resources for us and explained the process clearly so that we could try out our drawing skills! Enjoyed the session very much, it was calming. The drawing style has a meditative aspect. Thank you Sophie for a great class.
  • 5/5 from Fernanda Avila Falsarella, attended Oct 2024: I went on my own as I wanted to learn/practice a new skill. The teacher had a simple and warming approach that made me feel comfortable and confident. The venue is beautifil, full of other craft and colors to admire. All materials were provided and we got to take them home to continue drawing.. highly recommend. It takes the pressure off from drawing and turns into a very relaxing activity.
  • 5/5 from Anne-Marie Byrne, attended Jun 2024: This class was so great! Sophie taught us how to use simple shapes, line marking and contrast to bring an equally simple drawing to life. If you are a doodler with a love of illustration and pattern, and want to take your drawings to the next level, this is the class for you.
  • 5/5 from Molly Blacker, attended Jun 2024: Such a wonderful class, Sophie was amazing and patient. Her clear instruction and supportive nature brought out the artist in everyone in the class!

  • 5/5 from Denise Guray, attended Apr 2024: It was great fun. The teacher emphasised that anyone can do this class, even if you can’t draw. This turned out to be true
  • 5/5 from Xanthe Golenko, attended Apr 2024: Everything was great Teacher, venue, materials, activity, other participants. We would definitely recommend this workshop to others

Creating balance with creativity & connection

Made by Me Workshop is about helping people to connect with their "inner creative" and have some fun while making beautiful things from quality materials in our friendly & vibrant studio space in the heart of the inner west!
Established in 2017 after Rebecca Doyle decided to take a career break and chose to revisit her childhood love for arts & crafts. Rebecca grew up in a large family where money was tight, after school activities where mostly homegrown and usually involved a sheet of cardboard, a glue stick and some glitter! It is probably no surprise to learn that Rebecca followed a creative path to study Fashion & Textile Design at University!
After a few more decades (than Rebecca will publicly admit to) and a long and varied career in the fashion industry, Rebecca wanted to get back to creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind objects - Made By Me Workshop is the result of where this path led.
Rebecca loves that moment of pride that comes over each participant's face when they look at what they have created and say to themselves "Wow - I made this & I love it!"
Made by Me Workshop run a variety of creative workshops, hen’s parties, private parties and corporate events from their warehouse space in St Peters including Resin Art, Resin Jewellery & Mould Making, Soap Making, Terrazzo Homewares, Punch Needle, Macrame and many more.
