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! Come along and unleash your creativity in this hands-on experience.

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.
