Get crafty with ceramics with Mum!

Is your mum a creative soul who relishes the opportunity to try something new? If the answer is a resounding ‘yes’, then why not book a ceramics class for the two of you as one of your special Mother’s Day ideas? 

Learning how to make pottery from scratch is a relaxing and fun-filled activity that gives you and your mum the perfect opportunity to roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty, and discover an inspiring new way to express yourselves. Experimenting with clay side by side is a great way to bond and mark this special day together. Your mum is sure to enjoy trying out a new creative pastime and learning how to make her very own personalised pots. 

In fact, a ceramics workshop is the ideal Mother’s Day activity. You’ll not only get to enjoy a stimulating new experience together, but you also get to take home your handmade pottery items – a beautiful memento of this year’s special day!

Indulge Mum’s sweet tooth with a tantalising baking class

Is your mum a talented baker, famous for her moreish cookies and decadent cakes? Or does she prefer to be the one tucking in, savouring a perfect macaroon or a particularly tasty cookie? Whether your mum is a whiz in the kitchen or just loves to nibble on some sweet treats, signing her up for a Mother’s Day baking class is the perfect way to indulge her passion for tasty delights. 

There are just so many classes to choose from, so whether you live in Perth or Melbourne, you won’t have any trouble arranging a mouth-watering culinary workshop to guarantee a happy Mother’s Day! From whipping up batches of moreish macaroons to practicing your cake decorating skills or baking a batch of hearty scones for after Mother’s Day lunch, there are so many tasty options to try. 

Not only will your mum have a wonderful time, picking up some top baking tips and learning new recipes, but you and your family are bound to appreciate the results of her culinary adventures! A baking class is therefore one of the best Mother’s Day ideas going, as it’s a gift that keeps on giving. 

Create a showstopping Mother’s Day bouquet together 

Flowers are a guaranteed Mum-pleaser, particularly on her special day. But instead of buying her a bouquet, why don’t you take it a step further and book a relaxing flower arranging class for you and your mum to enjoy together? Floristry workshops are one of the most popular Mother’s Day activities, giving you the chance to surround your mother with stunning blooms which she can use to create a beautiful bouquet to take home and savour. 

These classes also offer a soothing space for you and your mum to unwind together and swap stories, jokes and laughter over bunches of blooms. You and your mum will also get to pick up some fascinating tips from the master florist running your class, who will be on hand to guide you throughout the workshop and help you choose the perfect blossoms for this special celebration. 

Whip up some customised cocktails

What Mother’s Day in Australia would be complete without a delicious cocktail or two? While sipping some drinks at home is always a lovely way to celebrate, why don’t you try something a little different this year and arrange a cocktail making class for you and Mum to try out together? 

Cocktail making workshops are one of the most enjoyable Mother’s Day ideas, adding a tasty twist to drinks together. You and Mum will be taught by a talented local mixologist, who can’t wait to teach you how to whip up some of your favourite tipples. If your mum has a signature drink that she never fails to order, learn how to make it this Mother’s Day so she can enjoy her favourite beverage whenever she feels like it. Add in some tasty nibbles and you have all the makings of an unforgettable treat your mum is sure to thank you for! 

Create a little slice of paradise for your mum to take home

Whether your mother is renowned for her green thumbs or struggles to keep a cactus alive, a terrarium making class is a unique and thoroughly enjoyable Mother’s Day treat. 

Terrariums are beautiful miniature gardens, housed in decorative glass containers. These tiny jungles are gorgeous to look at and breathe life and colour into any home – which means they are guaranteed to bring a big smile to your mum’s face! 

As well as introducing some gorgeous greenery into your home, terrariums also make perfect gifts for Mum as they are very easy to maintain, so even if your much-loved mother has a very busy schedule, she won’t have any trouble keeping her terrarium flourishing. 

During your soul-soothing terrarium crafting workshop, you and Mum will be given all the materials you need to create your own little miniature landscapes, using your favourite plants. It’s the perfect way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature – and each other. And the best part of all? You will be able to take your stunning mini oasis home with you at the end of the session, so memories of your magical Mother’s Day will blossom for years to come!
