Get ready to design and make your very own Forever Plant using colourful upcycled beads, wire, and a pot or jar. No watering, no sunlight, and definitely no worrying about keeping it alive.
In this workshop, you’ll become the designer and create a plant that’s completely your style. Bright and colourful? Minimal and earthy? Tiny and cute? There’s no right way to make it.
You’ll explore a huge collection of beautiful beads and learn simple techniques to bring your ideas to life while making something truly unique.
During this workshop, you’ll:
  • Plan and create a Forever Plant to take home
  • Choose from hundreds of colourful and upcycled beads
  • Learn easy beading and creative design techniques
  • Mix colours, textures, and shapes to make something uniquely yours
  • Relax, create, and enjoy making at your own pace
No experience needed. We’ll guide you step-by-step and help you turn your ideas into something special.
At the end, you’ll leave with your handmade creation ready to display in your room, gift to someone you love, or keep forever.

female Women-owned

I’m Ashleigh, founder of Con Cariño — a pop-up makers bar for the playful, the sentimental, and the beautifully chaotic. Based in the south-eastern suburbs of Naarm/Melbourne, Con Cariño grew from my love of teaching, travelling, and bringing people together through creativity.
After spending two years travelling the world, it became clear to me that feel-good memories were always rooted in connection and play. That feeling is what I aim to recreate through Con Cariño workshops. Spaces to slow down, create freely, and enjoy the process without pressure.
I also have 15 years of experience in education, and I am still casually teaching while raising my baby. I love teaching because I love learning. Everyone brings a story, a perspective, a skill, or a spark, and I’m endlessly inspired by what unfolds when people are given the space to create together.
Finally, sustainability is at the heart of Con Cariño. All materials are locally sourced or rescued second-hand, giving forgotten pieces a new lease on life and helping you create something unique.
I hope to create something meaningful together.
Always con cariño xx
