Want to learn how to make your own brooch? Join this jewellery making class in Melbourne, perfect for beginners!In this workshop, you willl be guided on how to create your own mother-of-pearl inlay brooch. Nacre inlay, also known as mother-of-pearl inlay, is the decorative art of embedding thin pieces of iridescent nacre (mollusk shell) into wood or other materials, creating beautiful patterns for furniture, musical instruments (like guitars), jewellery, and decorative boxes. Artisans carve designs into the base material, shape the shell pieces, inlay them, and then polish and seal the surface for a durable, luxurious effect.During the class, you will learn how to work with delicate mother-of-pearl inlay and transform it into a beautiful brooch. The activity is designed to be relaxing and enjoyable, leaving you with a sense of accomplishment and newfound skills.By the end of the class, you can take home your own brooch jewellery to wear and cherish!Perfect for solo adventurers, couples seeking a unique date idea, or groups looking for a fun and creative activity, this class is suitable for everyone to join!

Please note if the private booking is for 10 or less than 10 people, then we will add the date as a public date for others to book.
This workshop is suitable for adults, and participants aged 12 and above can join with an adult. An adult needs to be present and accompany the kids during the workshop due to the use of broken inlay pieces.

5/5 from Samantha Schrodel, attended Aug 2026: Wonderful! This was our second time workshop, and we really enjoyed it! My brooch turned out so well. Rashmi was amazing, super helpful and kind! Wish we lived closer so we could come for more workshops! She gave us as much time as we needed to finish our craft. Absolutely recommend 10/10
5/5 from Samantha Schrodel, attended Jul 2026: We did the mother of pearl brooch workshop, it was so fun! There was so many options and colors, and the teacher was very helpful! She gave us an extra few hours to let us finish on our own time! Would 100% recommend, it was so fun and I learned a new skill. I think the brooches we did turned out amazing!
5/5 from Jennifer Zhou, attended Jun 2026: It was such a lovely class, I had a wonderful time and left with a brooch I was very proud of and would wear. The teacher was very helpful and there were such a large variety of colours to choose from. Would definitely look into other classes at Be-Ras Creatives Art Cafe.
5/5 from Mamma, attended May 2026: My daughter and I did this as a Mother's Day activity and had an absolutely fabulous time. The teacher was so kind and helpful and full of ideas. We walked away with gorgeous brooches and keen to come back and do another activity. Highly recommend.
5/5 from Alison Cheney, attended Apr 2026: What an amazing way to spend an afternoon to celebrate a birthday! Three of us came in to make our own brooches and had the best afternoon. These brooches are so special to us and we look forward to bragging about how we made them ourselves! 100/10 - would recommend!
Rashmi is an architect turned crafter and small business owner with a vibrant cafe in the Docklands. She is someone who loves art and learning something new every day. Her journey to becoming an artist started with one art project at a time. She started making Kokedama’s and polymer clay earrings for a bit of fun. She loved it so much that she gifted a lot to her friends and which birthed her enthusiasm for handmade things. Soon they started making them together, and they all loved them so much that we decided to share the art with more people. Creating something handmade is a fun process with lots of laughter and good coffee. You make new friends who love plants and art as much as you do.
