Important info:

Please note, private booking requires a minimum of 10 people per session. If fewer than 10 people book, we will make it a public class for others to join. Please mention it during the booking if you are requesting a private class during your booking or we will treat it as a regular booking.
Everyone is different, so please keep in mind that if you select a complicated image, you will take longer than the designated time.
Please feel free to get your own design for your coaster. However, go for a simpler design with fewer lines, as you will be making your design with metal wire first, and too many lines make it too complicated. Search for your ideas online as simple line drawings to get a simpler version of your concept. So you can finish it in the given timeframe.

Whether you're looking for a new hobby or simply spending a creative day with friends, head to this

class today! A perfect activity for mother-daughter day, a couple's date or a team building activity.

5/5 from Yacov Richter, attended Aug 2026: Came here with my wife for our anniversary. We loved it. We did Cloisonne painting. Rashmi was so helpful and fun. The art came out beautiful. Just a great vibe and wonderful experience.
5/5 from Kylie Yeung, attended Jul 2026: This class was everything I expected and more, I absolutely loved experiencing this new skill that I hope to apply to the future projects that I make.

5/5 from Patricia Susanto, attended Jul 2026: Lots of fun, great instructor/ host. Will be back for more classes
4/5 from Anthony Gagliano, attended Jul 2026: Great clear step by step instructions. Lots of resources. Is interesting that there was many kinds of art happening at same time.. keeps it fresh. I was ok but I think for a beginner sometimes a bit more one on one time with the teacher is better. Harder when is a lot going on at same time.
5/5 from Fiona Gessey, attended Jun 2026: Such a fun class, it was great to focus on a different style or work, having creative freedom to pick pictures patterns and colours you want whilst getting specifics on how to create the best piece.
5/5 from Hayley Wiegmink, attended Jun 2026: We booked a big group into the Cloisonne Enamale Painting workshop, creating beutiful coasters. Rashmi ran an excellent class, giving us clear guidance and instruction and offering assistance with each step along the way. Each of us in the group thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The work space Rashmi has created is super warm and inviting, contributing to an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience.
5/5 from Melanie Heffernan, attended Jun 2026: Enjoyed a fabulous cloisonne workshop with Rashmi! The workshop space is very inviting and Rashmi is a wonderful host. I really enjoyed the workshop.... I was completely lost in the art of cloisonne and time flew by. Rashmi was very patient with me and my complicated design, and allowed me stacks of extra time to finish my work. This is definitely one of my new hobbies and I can't recommend the class, venue and teacher more!

4/5 from Rebecca Quigley, attended Feb 2026: Loved the experience, the host was friendly and knowledgeable but the allocated duration for the workshop was not enough. We worked solidly for the 3hr workshop and still weren’t finished for a further hour. Loved sharing this with my best friend
5/5 from Erin Bormann, attended Jan 2026: Amazing teacher with so much patience and supportive of whatever design we wanted to make. She was so generous with her time and it was such a fun birthday activity. Would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to trying something a bit different. Challenging, but in a good way!
5/5 from Elaine Ho, attended Jan 2026: Teacher was informative about the history of the art and process, and clearly explained each step with hands-on help where needed. We overstayed our session time but they kindly stayed open for us to finish our pieces.
5/5 from Olli, attended Jan 2026: Really wonderful experience! Stayed way over our time, as the hosts were so generous, and we were all so happy with our coasters. A really wonderful way to spend an afternoon - would wholeheartedly recommend this course, or any course with these lovely guides :-)
5/5 from Vivien Bainbridge, attended Jan 2026: The class was great fun. The guidance was well timed and only as necessary. The teacher's background knowledge was considerable. We were given the time we needed without any sense of hurry. With assistance, the final product was more than worth the effort.
5/5 from Elise Wynyard, attended Jan 2026: We joined the class as a family activity. The teacher was fantastic and her husband was lovely. The instructions were excellent and the help we received was individual. The venue was beautiful, inspiring and calmingI couldn't rate this workshop highly enough.
4/5 from Bella Freeman, attended Jan 2026: NO occasion, but a real admiration for cloisonne work. Delighted to try it to see how hard it is to produce, Class itself is low key. You can have as much or as little supervision as you need. Range of supplies was good. NO sense of pressure. Not difficult to pick up at a basic level. It was time well spent. and the coffee was good.
5/5 from Lucy Rogers, attended Dec 2025: Fantastic experience. Not rushed, explained fully. Knowledgeable host. Great tea. Great atmosphere - soft music. Very friendly. Will try to go again soon for another craft. I made a cloisonné enamel coaster
5/5 from Annis Tam, attended Dec 2025: Will definitely do this again.
5/5 from Richmond Tran, attended Dec 2025: We had a great time learning a new craft today and making coaster that will serve as a good memory to mark off the year :). Big thanks to the teacher for your kind and helpful instructions today.
5/5 from Sandy Phelan, attended Nov 2025: I have had a fabulous day learning Cloisonne, the atmosphere was great and the instruction given was clear and very helpful. I will certainly be checking out more workshops on my next visit to Melbourne.
5/5 from Megan Baber, attended Nov 2025: Great class. 100% would recommend. Such a helpful and supportive teacher
5/5 from Kevin Wang, attended Nov 2025: I booked this workshop for my girlfriend's birthday, and it turned out to be such a memorable experience. We learned how to make beautiful enamel coasters. The teacher was incredibly friendly, passionate and attentive. Guiding us through each steps and offering help whenever we needed it. Her enthusiasm made the whole session feel warn and welcoming. The venue itself was cozy and inviting. The materials provided were of great quality, and we were given extra supplies to take home in case we wanted to keep on working on our pieces. Highly recommend for a unique date!

Women-owned

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.
