The toilet is located outside via two steps, a narrow side pathway and is a "typical" Australian brick outhouse with limited space.

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.
