The Blue Blooms workshop, facilitated by Suzan, began with a blue lotus tea ceremony and continued with toilet roll stamping to create calm, repeating lotus patterns as visual keepsakes. Five women attending a girls’ weekend worked quietly, drawing inspiration from each other’s materials. Some explored brushes, tea leaves, and fingers, while others stayed focused on the toilet roll stamping.

One participant processed very sad news through expressive use of the paints and tea leaves, while reflections connected to earlier work and and the affirmation card drawn for each person.

A lighthearted game set the tone for the Fruit Fun workshop, and everyone enjoyed painting vibrant and colourful pieces that reflected their personalities. The group of six, both regulars and new faces, explored identity through playful, pop-art-inspired fruit artwork.

The participants appreciated the simplicity of the process and the chance to personalise their artwork, creating memorable moments through some good laughs and shared amusement. Each finished painting became a fun and meaningful reminder of self-expression.

Delighted to be back at Friendship Works (prev. Friendship Cafe) for the Shared Shapes workshop facilitated by Emma.

Both sessions were small and welcoming, with a mix of regular participants and newcomers. The focus was on collaborative collage, layering structured squares and organic shapes into a shared A3 piece. Participants explored gelliprinting techniques, including creating negative prints with blank paper to lift excess paint.

The theme of collaboration sparked discussion around working together, choosing colour palettes, and sharing creative decisions. Feedback was very positive, with participants describing gelliprinting as addictive and saying they really enjoyed the experience.

Our first group of only men at Aiseiri in Waterford enjoyed the Rock Talk workshop, guided by Sam. Each participant chose a rock, feeling its weight and smoothness and connected with it as part of the mindfulness theme. Holding the rock became a grounding, steady and practical part of the experience.

Working with colours, mandalas and personal designs, participants embraced the creative process fully. Encouragement and sharing of memories of beaches and waterfalls flowed naturally while painting. The participants described the workshop as calming, therapeutic and enjoyable.

The Rock Talk workshop is centred on painting simple mandalas onto natural stones, using the steady rhythm of dotting and pattern to anchor attention in the present moment.

The regular womens’ group at Aiseiri in Waterford enjoyed this focused session, guided by Emma. Each participant chose a stone, feeling its weight and texture before beginning. Holding the rock became part of the theme – grounding, steady, practical.

Working with black paint and careful dotting techniques they created beautiful reminders of mindfulness. Short drying breaks allowed space for conversation and observation without rushing the process.

The participants described the session as calming and enjoyable and we hope to be back in the future!

Pocket Hug was the debut Conscious Crafting workshop held at Wardrobe Wonders Kalk Bay Vintage Apparel . A small group of curious friends and connections gathered in Katja’s magical home, a space overflowing with vintage clothing, stories, artefacts and an amazing Seaview!

Through choosing a scarf, journalling and stitching with intention, participants created a Pocket Hugs as meaningful keepsakes to hold close or gift to loved ones. Some were made for friends needing support, others for personal comfort, and one participant thoughtfully created them for her neurodiverse children to carry on difficult days.

The room was filled with sharing, connecting, helping and very positively received and we hope this is a great start to the Conscious Crafting workshops by Wardrobe Wonders going forward!

Curious? Please sign up to our newsletter or let us know if we may add you to our WhatsApp group for South Peninsula, South Africa.

May’s birthday party was a magical Saturday in Kilkenny! The girls brought fairy magic to life as they created their very own miniature fairy gardens using natural and recycled materials.

The girls were completely immersed in the fairy theme, topped with a fairy cake.

A really fun experience facilitated by Emma where imagination, creativity and a little bit of fairy magic came together.
