Love earrings but want something truly personal, lightweight, and gentle on your skin? Join us in this fun and creative jewellery making workshop in Melbourne, where you’ll design and handcraft your very own custom earrings—using soft, beautiful Italian vegetable-tanned leather and 925 sterling silver findings, safe even for sensitive ears.
This beginner-friendly session invites you to freely express your style. You'll get to choose from a wide range of leather colours and shapes—geometric, playful, minimal—and even layer them to create bold or delicate looks.
You’ll also be able to explore our collection of decorative add-ons like pearls, metal charms or gemstone accents, and for those who love the finer things, exotic leathers like lizard skin or crocodile used in high-end designer bags are available as a premium upgrade (extra fees apply).
In just a few hours, you’ll learn how to:
  • Use professional leathercraft tools safely and confidently
  • Select and combine colours and textures creatively
  • Apply gluing and layering techniques
  • Finish and burnish edges for a clean, polished look
  • Install sterling silver earring hooks or studs professionally
The class runs in a welcoming, relaxed environment. Whether you're making for yourself or creating a special handmade gift, you’ll leave with earrings that are completely one-of-a-kind and feel proud you made them with your own hands.
To make your time with us even more enjoyable, we offer complimentary coffee and snacks, and your host, a professional photographer, will also capture a few behind-the-scenes moments of you crafting your piece, so you’ll take home both the earrings and the memory.

Since childhood, I’ve dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. I’ve always loved crafting by hand — as a little girl, I designed and hand-sewed clothes for my dolls. Over 20 years ago, I began teaching myself leathercraft, and eight years ago, I received formal training and started working in high-end leather goods through private custom orders.
While I’ve enjoyed creating bespoke pieces for clients, what truly excites me is the energy and joy of teaching in person. I absolutely love working face-to-face with people — answering questions, sharing techniques, and watching someone go from hesitant beginner to proudly holding a piece they made with their own hands. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing that spark of amazement in a student’s eyes when they realise, “Wow, I really made this!”
I strive to create a warm, supportive, and encouraging workshop environment where everyone feels welcome — no matter their experience level. I’m always patient and enthusiastic, guiding each student step by step and making sure they not only learn, but also enjoy the creative process. Many of my students tell me they walk in nervous but leave feeling confident, relaxed, and inspired.
I’m based in Melbourne and have taught hundreds of students over the years. I’m skilled in both Japanese and French leathercraft techniques, though I have a particular preference for the French style. I find deep satisfaction in crafting leather pieces with the care and precision of a traditional French artisan — much like those in the ateliers of Hermès, where timeless design and masterful technique come together.
I believe that high-quality materials, refined craftsmanship, and dedicated time are what it takes to create something truly exceptional — a piece that can last a lifetime. I love elegant, well-made leather goods that combine aesthetics with everyday function.
In my workshops, I aim to help each participant create a polished and practical piece they’ll genuinely use and feel proud of — not just a rough project made on a whim. I’m also a portrait photographer, so joining one of my workshops means you’ll leave not only with a unique handcrafted item, but also with some professionally captured memories of the experience.
