Creative styling workshops offer a unique opportunity for individuals to explore their artistic potential while learning essential techniques in design and presentation.
Our workshops typically encompass a diverse range of topics, from food preparation, presentation and plating to still life and visual composition for the home, including the use of various materials and props, allowing participants to experiment and develop their own personal style.
Through guided sessions and hands-on activities you will be encouraged to refine your skills, gain confidence in your creative process, and connect with like-minded individuals.
As you participate in collaborative exercises, you will not only enhance your styling abilities but also engage in a supportive environment that encourages experimentation and innovation.
We will be launching our workshops program shortly. For further information, and to register your interest in our upcoming workshops, please refer to the details below.

The Art of Food — A Culinary Design Workshop
10am-3pm — July 12, 2025
$395 per person — Max. 8 persons
It was Apicius in the 1st Century who purportedly coined the phrase ‘We eat first with our eyes’.
Whether it be dinner at your favourite restaurant, or a quick bite for breakfast at your local cafe, thoughtful plating and presentation of your food is an always evident and essential part of the whole experience. So too can it be at home.
Food presentation is the art of modifying, processing, arranging or decorating food to enhance its aesthetic appeal. By considering factors such as composition, colour, contrast, texture and balance, all nature of cooks, both amateur and professional, can elevate a simple meal to an artistic creation.
In this workshop you will, through both detailed demonstration and hands-on experience, walk away with a new toolbox of concepts, skills, tips and tricks, to take the presentation of your meals to a new level. And also share in a wealth of knowledge, trade secrets and sources to help make this a reality.
So, if you’d like to add a little more pizazz to your pizza, wow to your wontons, glam to your clams or seduction to your reduction, then look no further. You’ve found what you were looking for, served just the way you like it!
A light lunch will be served (by you!).

Modern Masters — A Still Life Workshop
10am-3pm — date to be advised.
$345 per person — Max. 8 persons
Still life is a genre of art that captures the beauty of inanimate objects arranged in harmonious composition. Items meticulously placed to create rhythm and balance through form and colour, and the interplay of light, shadow and texture, transforming the mundane into something evocative and thought-provoking.
Equally, these concepts and techniques employed to create beautiful still life moments and vignettes in art can also be applied in a more modern interpretation for the home. A simple composition of vases on a sideboard, an eclectic arrangement of found objects across a bookshelf, a carefully chosen display of vintage utensils in a corner of the kitchen.
Drawing on an extensive collection of props and backgrounds gathered over many years, in this workshop you will have the opportunity to create a masterpiece for yourself, be it traditional or modern. You will be guided through the techniques, the principles, the reasons and the rationale - all the thought processes and decisions that can contribute to a well composed outcome.
Finally, each participants’ masterpiece will be professionally photographed and the file supplied, suitable for printing and framing for your own home should you wish.
A light lunch will be served.
