Brought the class as a gift for my best friend. We had a fantastic time and leant so much about candle making. We had very different ideas on what we wanted to make and we both love our creation.

We absolutely LOVED Caitlin’s “Jewellery Making Workshop: Textured Copper Earrings“ & are curious to see what else we could learn how to make!

Caitlin’s instructional style is clear, casual, & cheerful. We had a blast getting to know her & have her share her creativity with us. We were glad to discover the different techniques, have a play & practice on our aluminium sheet, design our earrings & make them a copper reality. We even wore one of the pairs out to dinner later that evening! The smaller class size was perfect for this workshop - just remember to pace yourself so you have decent time to work on your actual earrings (we got carried away playing with all the tools, stamps, & techniques. So we rushed a little at the end to finish our pieces). The venue is a shared art space, where you’ll enter the gallery/framer at the front & will need to walk towards the studio spaces at the back. This workshop was a surprise for our friend & was the perfect gift for all of us to get hands-on, get creative, & make something we could keep & enjoy (or share as a hand-made gift)! + more

What you should gift on Valentine's Day in Melbourne
In a world of material possessions, our Melbourne Valentine's activities offer something far more valuable: memories. When you choose an experience over a traditional gift, you're creating opportunities for connection and quality time. Whether you learn to throw clay on the wheel or solder silver at a jewellery-making class, you'll leave with unique stories to reminisce about for years to come. Not sure which Valentines ideas are right for your partner? Consider these tips when choosing an experience from our selection of Valentine's day events in Melbourne:
-
Know your partner's interests: Choose an experience that aligns with their passions. If your boyfriend loves Italian food, a fitting Valentine's gift for him is a gnocchi or pasta making class.
-
Consider your relationship stage: New couples might prefer relaxed social activities while long-term partners might enjoy more intimate experiences.
-
Think about comfort and energy levels: Some people love being centre stage while others prefer more low-key date ideas. If you girlfriend is the life of the party, a fun Valentine's gift for her is a cocktail-making class.
-
Respect your budget: Not everyone wants to spend big bucks on Valentine's Day – and that's okay! Find an experience gift that aligns with your financial goals.
The beauty of experience-based gifts is that they continue to give long after the day is over. No matter what you choose, the skills you learn, the laughs you share, and the memories you create will become part of your shared story. (Cute!) Valentine's Day in Melbourne is about so much more than traditional romance. It's about connection, creativity, and shared experiences. Whether you're crafting a ceramic piece, mixing cocktails or learning how to make mosaics, you're creating memories that will last far beyond Feb 14th.
