Another gift idea for Mums with an interest in gardening, a terrarium workshop will get your mum crafting her very own tiny ecosystem.

8. Book into pottery classes together

Ceramic classes have got to be one of our favourite and most fun things to do for Mother’s Day in Australia and they’re a classic choice for a reason. Your mum will learn pottery making from scratch, becoming familiar with hand building techniques before moving onto more advanced skills like wheel throwing. Attending a pottery studio together is bound to make the experience even more fun.

9. Help Mum unwind with a soap making workshop

If your mum loves all things botanical and holistic, she’ll get a real thrill from learning how to make homemade soap.

10. Get her in front of a weaving loom

Looking for gift ideas for Mums who’ve already mastered the sewing machine? Treat her to a class in weaving for beginners and watch her elevate her craftiness and creativity to new levels. She’ll establish basic types of weaving before trying out more complex loom weaving techniques.

Maybe your mum loves nothing more than putting paint to canvas but has never stepped out of her comfort zone. A class in watercolour for beginners will have her mastering this tricky painting style surrounded by fellow enthusiasts. She’ll learn watercolour art under the guidance of an expert tutor and benefit from the mindful moments this practice offers. It might just be one of her new favourite hobbies!
