Taking inspiration from some of our favourite mother-daughter moments over the past few years, we’ve created a meaningful Mother’s Day gift guide to help you and Mum kick back, catch up and get creative together. Ready to cement your status as favourite child? Let’s jump in…
For The Travel-Lover
Leaving the bustling streets of Sydney behind, Sue and her mum set out to discover one of Japan’s most beautiful and symbolic crafts, the ancient art of Kintsugi…
“Our teacher was warm and friendly and offered us a personal insight into Japanese traditional culture, stories about experiencing famous Kyoto landmarks, as well as knowledge of Kintsugi’s history and production methods. Mum and I really enjoyed this artful class. The best things I learned were how to mend sentimental items in a way that enhances their beauty and appeal. Arigato, Miyoko!” – Sue Kenney
For The Foodie
After learning to shake cocktails and fold dumplings at one of Potts Point’s favourite Asian eateries, Jessica and her mum sat down to catch up, unwind and feast on their tasty handmade creations...
“This Cocktail and Dumpling-Making Class was so good! I took my mum here for a Mother's Day adventure and we both loved it. The cocktails we made were delicious (I'm definitely making that lychee martini again) and the dumplings were so tasty. It's something I'd love to do with my friends well.” – Jessica Irwin
For The Craft Enthusiast
Hands deep in soft clay, Julia and her mum spent the day creating their own ceramic masterpieces on the pottery wheel at Cones Studio in Melbourne...
“What a fun and relaxing experience my mum and I had getting our hands into organic clay and creating unique pieces. The therapeutic and sensory benefits of touching clay speak for themselves. I can’t wait to see what our final pieces look like in a few weeks.” – Julia Allsop
For The Up-For-Anything Mum
Surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colour and light, Amora and her mum discovered the delicate art of mosaic-making, their creativity fueled by traditional Turkish tea and sweet treats…
“It was a great class! I bought this as a surprise for my mum's birthday and we had a very kind teacher who helped us realise our creative ideas! All the materials provided were beautiful and I was very happy with what I made. Highly recommend this class!” – Amora Lau
