Welcome to Kalyca Studio, where we share the joy of crafting through exciting workshops across Brisbane, and our DIY Earring Bar @Cream_House_Cafe.
As a crafting mum, Ngaire enjoys being creative, and claying brings much happiness and satisfaction. We love to share this joy with others, sharing our knowledge as well as the use of hundreds of tools, complimentary unlimited clay and hardware.
We host scheduled workshops across 3 locations (Coorparoo, Mt Gravatt, Sunnybank Hills), but can also host private events/ parties for 10 or more participants at your chosen venue.
We look forward to claying with you and making unique pieces and special memories! Happy crafting, Ngaire

So grateful to Ngaire for this fabulous experience: I bought vouchers for two friends (and me) as Christmas gifts, and we finally found a date to suit all three of us.
What a wonderful class. Ngaire provided all the materials we could possibly require, and explained the clay earring making process so well. Then she & her colleague supervised us, and made suggestions as we prepared our own creations. Finally, we were given detailed instructions how to finish off everything at home.
It was a hoot.... definitely highly recommend.
PS Bellissimo was a great location & we stayed on after for a leisurely lunch, with a glass of vino... perfect end to our class together.

My MIL and I got tickets as Mother’s Day presents and we had a lovely morning!
The set up was really well done and once we learnt all the techniques, we could get creative and make as many items as we desired.
As someone who doesn’t normally participate in art and craft I was delighted at how good my earrings, key chains and bookmarks turned out.
We were supported when needed with little tips and tricks and the rest of the making time was relaxed and social.
The coffee was a great bonus too and the space is great.

Kind Regards, Ngaire

I’ve always wanted to do a workshop like this and I’m so glad it was with
Kalyca Studios.
It’s so beautifully set up and presented for everyone to access what they needed to start creating their master pieces.
Ngaire was absolutely delightful she is so patient and detailed with her demonstration throughout the class. I could not fault her friendly service and workshop.
I made so many gorgeous items and had so much fun throughout this class.
I find it addictive I could of sat there all evening creating many more wonderful pieces
Highly recommend this workshop whether it’s for a girls date, birthday celebration, work gathering function. Or just because you want some gorgeous earring and accessories.
I will be definitely be doing another one of these work shops with Ngaire again in the near future.
Thanks so much for a lovely workshop.

Hello Kim, it was a pleasure to host your first workshop with us, I'm so delighted that you had a great time! You're right, claying can get very addictive, and I still haven't found a way to stop ;) It's just so much fun, and I'm so happy that I could share this with you.
Well done on creating some stunning pieces! Kind Regards, Ngaire

I attended this class with my daughter for her birthday. It was a fantastic location and easy to get to. The restaurant host was very welcoming and the food and drinks high quality and delicious. A very pleasant and relaxing half day where we learnt a lot. We came home and were able to bake the rest of our creations and put them together with no troubles at all. It looks like we have a new hobby now.
Teacher's response
Thank you Rachel for coming along with your daughter, what a very special way to celebrate her birthday! I'm so glad you had a wonderful experience, and can't wait to hear about your future claying journey :) Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have along the way. Kind Regards, Ngaire

The teacher was amazing and we had so much fun! We will definitely do it again! Great food and a great class.

Ngaire helped me with my daughter's birthday party. She is super patient and always happy to answer my questions. She even ordered the cutter for my daughter's birthday theme. Really appreciate the effort. We got a lot of compliments from parents attending the party. I am sure it's a unique experience for all the girls at the party.
For ClassBento, your communication platform is not user friendly at all. Maybe you want to have a better solution to improve customer experience.

Birthday gift for a 7yo and 63yo. Everyone had an amazing time, made heaps of earrings, hairclips, keyrings, and a broach. The 63yo was worried because they aren't creative but all the tools and accessories made it super easy to create beautiful products
Teacher's response
Hello Lana, I appreciate your review. I am so very proud of your group, such a diverse range of ages and experience, but you all created incredible pieces and enjoyed a memorable time together! This warmed my heart, so thank you. Ngaire

I had the pleasure of attending Ngaire's Clay Jewellery Workshop at Kalyca Studio, hosted at the award-winning Little Glass Room Bar & Dining in Mt Gravatt last Sunday. Not only did I have a fantastic time creating beautiful clay jewellery, but I also had the opportunity to indulge in some delicious food.
The workshop took place in the charming and cozy atmosphere of the Little Glass Room Bar & Dining. The venue was tastefully decorated, creating a welcoming and inspiring environment for the workshop. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that everyone's needs were met throughout the day.
Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted by Ngaire's warm and welcoming personality, and her beautiful assistant Meriam. Ngarie made sure everyone felt comfortable and at ease, creating a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. The studio itself was well-lit and spacious, providing the perfect setting for a creative afternoon.
Ngaire began the workshop by introducing us to the basics of clay sculpting. Her instructions were clear and concise, making it easy for beginners like myself to follow along. She shared various techniques and tips, allowing us to explore our creativity and experiment with different shapes and forms.
We were treated to a mouthwatering meal. I decided to try the coconut prawns salad, and it was absolutely delicious. The prawns were perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with the fresh and vibrant salad. It was a delightful end to the workshop, and it set the tone for the rest of the day.
Ngaire expertise and passion for the craft were evident from the start. She guided us through the process of creating our own unique pieces of jewellery, sharing her knowledge and techniques along the way.
Ngaire provided us with a variety of clay colours and tools to work with, allowing us to explore our creativity and experiment with different designs. She offered helpful tips and suggestions, ensuring that each participant felt supported and encouraged throughout the workshop.
What made this workshop even more special was the opportunity to socialise and connect with fellow participants. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere of the Little Glass Room Bar & Dining made it easy to strike up conversations and share our experiences with one another. It was a wonderful way to meet like-minded individuals and make new friends.
As the workshop came to a close, Ngaire provided us with information on how to properly care for our clay jewellery. She also shared upcoming events and workshops, leaving us inspired to continue exploring the world of clay jewellery making.
Overall, Ngaire's Clay Jewellery Workshop at Kalyca Studio, was a delightful experience. The combination of creating beautiful clay jewellery and enjoying delicious food made for a truly memorable day. I highly recommend attending one of Ngaire's workshops, whether you are a beginner or have some experience with unlimited clay jewellery making. You will leave feeling inspired, with newfound skills and a stunning piece of jewellery to cherish.

Amazing class! The talented teacher was friendly, knowledgeable, and super supportive of my learning. There was a great selection of clay and findings to choose from. With the number of earrings I left with, I consider this the be great value for money. The venue was easy to find and there was lots of parking available. Mostly importantly, I had such a fun and relaxing time - I would highly recommend this workshop!
Teacher's response
I'm so glad that you had a wonderful time, it was my pleasure sharing my craft with you.
Thank you so much for your kind words, and I hope you enjoy wearing your very own unique handcrafted earrings!
