- 5/5 from Tina Goodall, attended Nov 2025: I LOVED IT! IT was 4 hours of learning to paint with Indigo...taught by the lovely knowledgeable Cath! My granddaughter & I drove from the Sth H'lands, went too far in the M8, for us it was a ridiculously hot sweaty day, and NOW, I finally know what I want to do to my napkins...paint all over them with the Indigo, we were gifted! What will be the result, I ponder! Can't wait but have other duties staring at me!! No time for photos!! X
- 5/5 from Vicki Hines, attended Nov 2025: Fantastic indigo painting workshop with Cath, who never disappoints. The workspace was comfortable and the morning tea delectable. Thanks for hosting Bec!
- 5/5 from Sam Sinnayab, attended Nov 2025: Fantastic class and space to pause and make space for creativity and self. Will definitely be back.
- 5/5 from Bronwyn Ugonotti, attended Nov 2025: It was a wonderful class. Very informative and Cath really promoted self expression and was very supportive of everyone’s creative process. It was well organized and the venue was fantastic.
- 5/5 from Kim Clarke, attended Nov 2025: Excellent instructor and so much fun!
- 5/5 from Debra Hinton, attended Nov 2025: Cath clearly has a passion for textile arts and has a wealth of knowledge which she shared generously. It was amazing to see all the different designs each student came up with on the day. It is such a lot of fun playing with indigo dye and bleach to transform plain table napkins into works of art! I am keen to try painting with colours now!
- 5/5 from Philippa Blaxill, attended Nov 2025: I’ve done a few classes with Cath and she is a very special person. She is so generous with her knowledge and is super inspiring and encouraging. Rebecca has created a wonderful space to hold workshops. We all need more like this in our lives. Thank you.

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.
