For Mums who love crafting and DIY activities, why not surprise them with something unique this Mother’s Day? Sign up for a Turkish mosaic lamp class in Darlinghurst, easily one of our most popular Mother's Day gifts you can give to your craft-loving mum. This hands-on experience will not only help her unwind but also allow her to create something beautiful and practical that she can proudly display at home.
In this Sydney workshop, a local artisan will guide your mother through the intricate process of creating stunning mosaic lamps inspired by traditional Turkish designs. She’ll get to pick from a collection of colourful mosaic titles and beads and glue them one by one. Not only does she get to enjoy an engaging and fun-filled afternoon with her loved ones by her side but she also gets to take home her vibrant creation at the end of the class! This is truly a gift idea for Mum in Sydney that keeps on giving.
In your words...
"This was a gift that I’d purchased for my mum and my partner. It was a fantastic class, and our instructor was brilliant! We were given some templates and some ideas to look at, and then picked our colours and went to work! It was surprisingly much easier than we had anticipated, and the instructor was there giving us helpful tips and tricks! It was such a great experience! We were also given Turkish tea and snacks, and a little gift! 10/10 would recommend!" - Emily Armstrong.
If she has a green (or brown) thumb...
2. Treat her to a terrarium workshop
Gifts for your mum needn't always involve grand gestures or expensive items. Sometimes, simple yet thoughtfully curated experiences like terrarium workshops make the best Mother’s Day gifts.

Your teacher will guide you both through designing and maintaining her very own succulent terrarium in a glass jar, which is easy to care for and makes charming additions to any living space. Whether she has a green thumb or not, this hands-on terrarium workshop is sure to spark joy and maybe even kick-start a new hobby at home.

If she wants some 'me-time'...
4. Pamper her with a skincare making day
Sometimes all a Mum needs is some quality 'me-time,’ and we think a natural skincare making workshop in Forest Lodge makes for a wonderful Mother’s Day gift to help her mind calm down. Your mum can learn to create her own DIY natural skincare products. Imagine her delight in crafting her own face masks, moisturisers, lip balms and body scrubs all from scratch! The great thing about natural skincare is that she knows exactly what goes into these products and how they can benefit her skin. These skincare workshops not only provide much-needed personal time for relaxation but she'll also get to take home three beautiful products she has made, plus a whole recipe workbook to recreate them at home.
In your words...
"My daughter and I booked the natural hair care class and really enjoyed it. Loved Polly and hearing all her knowledge. The space was great and the relaxed vibe made it a great weekend activity. Would definitely book another class again." - Jenni Hagland.
If her whole weekend is free...
