Lady Bird Design Creative Workshops & Jewellery

Fran is a very patient and warm heart teacher and host. She is so professional. We made our couple rings under her guidance.

I attended a watercolour painting class with a friend at Fran's place in the blue mountains. Her studio was very cute and situated in a lovely peaceful area with a great view out. Fran was a wonderful teacher, patient, and super welcoming. She got us to practice some basic watercolouring skills first before allowing us to create two different paintings. I had a wonderful time at Frans, she was super accomodating for us as we were late due to an accident on the road, and she had tea, coffee and snacks throughout her class. All in all a great class and can't wait to try out some of the techniques I learnt from her today!

Fran facilitated a wonderful painting workshop - not only was it lots of fun but there was learning as well. Fantastic Fran, very professional and enjoyable.

A great afternoon learning to paint! Fran did a great job showing us what to do and supporting us through that process. So much fun!

My partner and I LOVED the “silver ring in a day” class and are so happy with the rings we made! Fran is an excellent teacher and provided us with all the guidance and help that we needed to make some lovely rings. Neither of us had any metalworking experience and yet Fran was able to teach us how to make our rings in just a few hours! The location is lovely, her home has a beautiful garden and she has two lovely pets. I would highly recommend this class as a gift to a loved one or a fun activity to do with friends. Thanks so much Fran!

Fran hosted a very nice experience for my partner and me. She had put up a personalised welcome board for us when we arrived at her house- that's was really sweet. Her workshop is such a warm and cosy place filled with colour and tools. She was very patient and good with introducing the workshop agenda, explaining the process and guiding us every step of the way. She helped us translate our designs as perfectly as we could into finished rings.
She had light snacks and food for us through the day and we ate lunch by her beautiful garden space looking out into the valley. The experience was beyond what we were expecting and perfectly curated by a kind, friendly host Fran and her cute doggo Coco. Highly recommend!

The Gelli printing workshop was terrific and fun. I was unfamiliar with the technique and within the first few minutes my creativity was unleashed. Fran is an amazing teacher and helps you learn with no barriers, to experiment without fear, and to feel very satisfied with the result. Great value for money! I created several cards and prints I will definitely send to friends. See the photo! I enthusiastically recommend this workshop.

Love the creative space and energy that Fran brings to her teaching. Had a great time making bees wax wraps with my partner and some locals. The perfect idea for anyone who likes a touch of colour and creativity to add to their Blue Mountains trip!

Turning a flat piece of silver into a stunning pair of earrings is such a thrill. I love what we created. Thank you Fran

Fran is a creative and patient teacher and makes you feel confident you can do this. So looking forward to my next workshop.

Fran is just wonderful. She is friendly, informative, and fun. Fran provided just enough direction to understand the skill but allowed us to explore our own ideas. Fran is clearly experienced as I had a very vague idea which she was able to make sense of and turn into fantastic earrings. Fran was able to trial a number of different techniques to achieve our goal. I did this class with my mum and we both had such a great day, we would definitely recommend this class. SO. MUCH. FUN! Fran also provided delicious morning tea. Thank you Fran.

Fran was a great host, great teacher and provided a wonderful artistic evening for us! Fantastic!

Fantastic teacher with relaxed manner. Made the experience warm, relaxing and extremely enjoyable. We painted a Monet that we were all happy to put our name to. Double thumbs up!

Had an absolutely wonderful time doing ring making class. Fran was so encouraging, patient and was there to help if we needed. Great class.highly recommend!

Fran ran a private watercolour paint n sip class for my sister and I during our stay in the Blue Mountains. We were both very inexperienced using watercolours but she taught us step by (not so intimidating after all) step on techniques before completing our final masterpieces. It was an awesome experience and I couldn’t recommend it enough for anyone wanting to do something fun and creative while exploring the mountains.

My partner and I had a great evening learning watercolour painting with Fran. As absolute beginners she talked us through some techniques and then got us painting our own artworks - which turned out unexpectedly well with Frans expert guidance. Fran was patient with us and didn’t rush us at any point or make us feel silly for asking her to repeat herself.
The venue itself is in a beautiful location up in the blue mountains and Fran even recommended a nearby lookout to us for more stunning views before we made the trip back into Sydney!

What a fabulous way to spend the day with friends. We all thoroughly enjoyed crafting our spinner rings with Fran who patiently guided us through the process. Lovely location in the Blue Mountains with Fran being the perfect host. This is definitely something we will do again.

A fabulous creative/relaxing/absorbing/immersive experience! We did a painting workshop, guided expertly by Fran, and overcame our initial hesitancy to put brush to canvas. Fran breaks it down into manageable chunks and the outcome was astonishing! Straight to the poolroom! Highly recommend the view, the tuition and the hospitality. 10/10

Nothing is too much trouble for Fran, she was more than happy to cater to our needs. Fran is easy going but also full of energy and passion for what she does. We enjoyed every minute of our time with her! She took us from absolute novices to “professionals” (or so we thought!) in a couple of hours. We had such FUN! Get a couple of friends together and book a session now!

Really wonderful experience. Fran made it so simple and fun. Would highly recommend to anyone who would to explore the creative side.

We did a silver ring workshop with Fran in the blue mountains.
Fran was so lovely and easy going, we learnt so much about making silver rings in this workshop.
All of the materials provided were high quality and very well set up. It was an intimate setting for learning, which I enjoyed very much. Fran organised a morning tea and was very dedicated to making this class something special and unique to us.
I Would HIGHLY recommend this class and any class that Fran hosts for that matter.
