Use your teacher's sample book to guide your creative process, before the bundles of hope are steamed to make the magic happen.

Unwrap to Reveal

Not quite your birthday, but just as much fun when you unwrap your parcel, brush away the botanicals to see what you and nature have created.


Marvel at your unique creation

Marvel at Your Unique Creation

Share your beautiful silk printed item, show off to friends, give as a gift (Mothers day is fast approaching) or simply take home some of West Australia's beautiful South West and memories of a lovely day well spent with friends.


Head to Roelands, where you will be inspired by the wonderful views and guided by Barbara, to create a timeless and unique keepsake. Great as a souvenir of a trip to the South West or a gift for yourself or a loved one.
You’ll work with dried and semi-dried leaves and petals (depending on the season) and mordants using steam and pressure to imprint patterns and designs onto silk, a scarf, cushion, or linen/cotton/silk garment of your choice (see schedule for which).
Join our small workshop (4-6 students) where you’ll meet new friends and experience the wonder and excitement of natural eco-printing and take home something truly unique, as well as a big smile!
The class will be held at Barbara's home in Roelands, just 15 minutes from Australind, 25 minutes north of Bunbury, and around 2 hours from Perth.
What we’ll do:
  • Over morning tea (provided), you'll look at examples of eco-printing and a sample book
  • You'll choose your botanicals from the boxes we have or what you have brought
  • After preparing your material, you'll add the botanicals and gather them into a bundle
  • Your bundles will steam whilst we tidy up and then enjoy a leisurely lunch and the wonderful views
  • Then you unwrap and marvel at what you and nature have created together


Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 2 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

FAQ

Can I reach you by public transport?
Sadly, there is no public transport to Roelands.
Is the craft room accessible?
Our Craft Room is up 5 steps. There is a sturdy handrail, but there is no ramp, so it is not wheelchair accessible. (But if you have a venue I'm happy to discuss bringing the class to you.)
Can my 10 yr old come to the class?
No, this is an adult only class.

Can I use my wedding bouquet and my bridesmaids’ flowers to make some gifts for my wedding party?
Of course. What a beautiful gift We could even do a special day when you all get together to create the gifts - scarfs, handkerchiefs, cushion covers, hair ties (perfect for little bridesmaids), even ties and pillow cases. Not to mention a stunning long drape for the bride! Please contact me to arrange.
Can I book a date & time to suit my group of friends?
Workshop availability is on Saturday / Sunday / Monday and occassional Fridays. Factor in your travel time and lunch when asking for times. Workshops take around 4 hours, with around 1 - 1 1/2 hr 'cooking' time for each batch, hence that is when we usually break for lunch, but I'm happy to do an afternoon and just have a long afternoon tea! Send me a message suggesting a date and time and I'll let you know if I'm available.

We left with tops, cushion covers, scarves and samples totally transformed. Her workshop space, hospitality and skills were complemented by the remarkable location. The views are stunning. We also enjoyed Barbara's tips about great places to eat and visit while we weekended in the area. Many thanks, Barbara! I have a feeling we'll be back ️

I’ve been crafting ever since I can remember. It is a love that was passed down through my grandmothers and mum. We were always creating something, from making clothes on the sewing machine, knitting & crochet, to making cards and gifts with paper and cloth or food. I was blessed to have a wonderful art teacher, Gerry Ffrench, who inspired me to draw and paint. Dad taught me photography and Grandad inspired my love of local history and nature. So I couldn’t help but be happiest creating something. When my husband & I moved to the beautiful South West of WA, a craft room was a must, and when we designed our own home, it was top of my wish list. Now we are here, I’d love to share the views and space with you. The garden is a work in progress – well, the whole house is, truth be told, but the love is here and craftiness is waiting to be unleashed. I’ve been teaching crafts for over fifteen years, mostly paper-craft of one sort or another, but I’m always up to learn new things and hope you are too. Sometimes I’ll be the one teaching and other times we’ll have ‘guest tutors’ who are experts in their own field to share their love and knowledge. My goal is always to connect with each other and have fun, create something unique (not just slightly different versions of the same thing) and build friendships alongside new skills.
