The Botanical Birdcage
Duration: 2.5 hours | Guests: 1 to 8 guests | Cost: $65 per person
Create a beautifully delicate Botanical Birdcage, a modern take on nature-inspired design. Using fine-gauge wire, willow, vines, and a curated mix of natural elements such as nuts, seeds, feathers and moss, you’ll craft a piece that feels both organic and refined.
This workshop invites you to slow down, play with organic materials, and design your own unique little botanical treasure. Whether you come on your own for some mindful “me time” or with a friend for a creative catch-up, you’ll leave with something truly special — a piece that feels both wild and wonderfully refined.
Guided step-by-step, you’ll learn simple techniques to shape and assemble your birdcage, then embellish it with subtle botanical details to make it uniquely yours. All materials and guidance provided. No experience needed, just curiosity and a touch of imagination.
By the end of the session, you’ll take home a wonderfully whimsical personalised botanical birdcage. A rustic yet romantic creation that reflects your creativity and love for handcrafted art.
Suitable for ages 13 and above.

FAQ’s
What to Wear?
Comfortable clothes and shoes are best, wire can be very unforgiving on clothing, so nothing fancy is ideal. Kids activities can some times be a bit messy. No Sunday best, just comfy clothes that can take a bit of creativity!
Do I need to wear gloves?
Yes! If you would like to wear gloves, we ask you to bring your own sturdy garden style of gloves for hygiene purposes. Some gloves are available, they are washed after each lesson.

Accessibility
Garden of Wire Creative Workshop is located in one of Oberon’s old buildings and has some accessibility limitations. The entry is via two low wide steps. The toilet is located outside via two steps, a narrow side pathway and is a “typical” Australian brick outhouse with limited space. We understand this is not ideal but will assist with steadying hands if required.
