What you'll do

Select a Birdcage Basic Frame

Start with a pre-made basic Birdcage frame of your choice. Created from recycled fencing wire and wood.

Select Your Wire Embellishments to Decorate Your Birdcage

In this step, you will select from a range of recycled wire elements. Old bed springs, chicken wire, barb wire, straining wire and metal packing tape, to name a few. Learn how to make simple spirals, twirls and hearts to embellish your birdcage and attach them. Tools provided.

Add the Final Touches

The final flourishes to really make your birdcage sing! Tiny wire spirals, wire netting, butterflies or bees, or go with a natural touch with pine cones, lichen covered branches and gnarly twisted tree roots.

Step into a world of rustic elegance and creativity with the second of our Embellished Series---The Embellished Birdcage Workshop. In this hands-on wire art class, you'll transform a supplied birdcage frame and recycled Australian fencing wire into a one-of-a-kind decorative piece—charming, whimsical, and uniquely you. Perfect for adding character to your home, balcony, veranda, or garden. Your personalised birdcage is perfect to use for a small plant, candle, bird feeder, or anything else you can imagine.

No experience needed! This relaxed and inclusive workshop is ideal for beginners or anyone wanting a mindful, creative escape. You’ll be guided step-by-step through shaping and embellishing your birdcage using a mix of natural and repurposed materials, letting your imagination take flight.

Accessibility?

Garden of Wire Creative Workshop is located in one of Oberon's old buildings and has some accessibility limitations. The entry is via two low wide steps. The toilet is located outside via two steps, a narrow side pathway and is a "typical" Australian brick outhouse with limited space and narrow door. We understand this is not ideal but will assist with steadying hands if required.

Women-owned

I started this creative journey as I wanted a calmer way of working — one that gave me space to create, to redefine how I worked, who I worked for and to build something that truly felt worth my time and energy.

My first step was a market stall selling my wire art pieces, inspired by the workshops I had attended myself. As people began asking if I ran workshops and I continued to enjoy attending craft sessions, meeting like-minded people, creating, learning, and connecting, Garden of Wire Creative Workshops was born.

Along the way, I discovered the simple magic of connection: how sitting together with wire, natural elements, beads and quirky craft materials can spark conversation, laughter and a sense of belonging. That’s the heart of my workshops.

I offer whimsical wire art and creative craft classes that are gentle, welcoming, and fun. They’re not about competition or perfection — just about enjoying the process, taking a little time for yourself, and connecting with others in a relaxed, supportive, inclusive space.

No experience is needed — just an open mind and a positive attitude. My hope is that you leave not only with something handmade and uniquely yours, but also with a sense of calm, connection and the reminder that creativity is for everyone.

Garden of Wire Creative Workshops can host Birthdays, Hens nights, Date Nights, Christmas parties, Team Building and other private events.
