  • 5/5 from Laurie Monier-Pilgrim, attended Sep 2025: The class was amazing and exactly what I was looking for! I am so glad I picked it. The most exciting part was to come up with the scent for the candle, and I aboslutely loved Rebecca's approach to it, bringing in some theory but also how creating a scent was telling a story. That is what I was after, and Rebecca and Naomi were absolutely wonderful with their advice and guidance to create the perfect scent. The range of essential oils and fragrance oils was also amazing. Overall, a extremely enjoyable afternoon. I'm already planning to go again with my mum when she comes visit me later this year.

Creating balance with creativity & connection

5.0 (1,170)
female Women-owned

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.
