Recent reviews of Australian Natives Punch Needle Workshop
- 5/5 from Lisa Chyra, attended Dec 2024: The workshop was a perfect mother daughter experience (great birthday gift idea!). Bec is so knowledgable about design, materials and techniques. She shares her knowledge willingly, is so patient and will answer all the questions you have. She divides her time evenly between everyone and is just so down to earth and warm. We loved the workshop and want to do more to further the craft.
- 5/5 from Karen Doo, attended Aug 2022: Totally enjoyable, fun and therapeutic. I am not crafty but the instructions were easy to follow. Rebecca was friendly, patient and so creative. She was a great teacher. In just a few hours I learnt a new skill and a project that wont be too hard/time consuming to finish, I will have a lovely piece of artwork to hang. The location was great, easy walk from Newtown station. Great afternoon! Karen
- 5/5 from Anita Spragg, attended Nov 2020: I absolutely loved the punch needle workshop! It was the perfect place for me to be. Great company, exceptionally well prepared class with a wonderfully gifted teacher in a bright and generous space. It meant 'time out', me time and learning a new crafty skill as well. I had chosen the sulphur crested cockatoo as in the picture to the left and it turned out just like this. If your life is going a bit too fast consider getting back in touch with yourself and do this workshop. The choice of designs is delightful, actually hard to choose just one.

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.
