St Leonards Coastal Studio
Crafting Workshops with Katy McLeod


Current Workshop
Discover the rhythmic, grounding tradition of coiled basketry. Under Katy McLeod's gentle guidance, you will master foundation coiling, wrapping stitches, and structural shaping using organic raffia and natural fibers to craft your own sculptural woven bowl.
All materials are provided, botanical refreshments, and morning / afternoon tea is available in our peaceful St Leonards cafe, Salty Cow. Suitable for complete beginners and seasoned makers alike.




Coming Soon to St Leonards
We are preparing three new sensory creative workshops designed to inspire contemplation, tactile connection, and artistic expression.
Aromatic Craft
Mindful Adornment
Textured Art
Balinese Incense Workshop
Mala Beads Necklace Workshop
Boho Raffia Sculpture Workshop
Come along, get creative and enjoy some time just for you as you make your very own beautiful boho raffia sculpture!
Using natural raffia and simple weaving techniques, you'll create a gorgeous coastal-inspired piece to take home, with all materials supplied and no experience needed.
Hand-roll traditional natural incense cones and sticks using raw, crushed resin, Balinese powder and essential oils to create your very own aromatic blend.
You will also create your own unique incense holder.
Join us for a relaxing and creative workshop where you'll handcraft your own beautiful Mala Bead Necklace, traditionally used for meditation, mindfulness and setting intentions.
Discover the meaning behind these sacred beads while enjoying a peaceful, hands-on experience, creating something meaningful and uniquely yours to take home.
