The gift of pottery for couples who live together
The magic of a hand-building and clay sculpture class is that it lets couples craft rustic and unique pieces of home decor while spending time with their favourite person. These pottery classes offer a chance for both of them to roll up their sleeves, get a little messy and create something awesome. From crafting personalised pottery to sculpting their own funky plant pots, these experiences are the ultimate gift idea for couples who live together, letting them adorn their home with handmade charm.
Plus when they enjoy a crafty class with their other half, it’s not just about the final product—it’s about spending time together doing something out of the ordinary and creating memories. Every time they glance at that handmade vase or quirky plant pot, it'll bring a flood of memories from the day they spent laughing and crafting together, making their home even cosier.
In the words of fellow crafter, Charlie W after his sip and sculpt class in Melbourne:
"We went as a couple to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday and it was amazing! The teachers were all so kind and helpful, and the overall vibe was PERFECT for meeting new people. They provide extra tools and clay if you mess up, it’s great for beginners like us!!! Fantastic value to get the glass of wine to sip on, our favourite part was how relaxed the venue felt, with the open plan allowing everyone to roam around and see what everyone else was making! Very special experience neither of us will ever forget, we will be back with a group next time!"
Bespoke cheeseboards for dinner party couples
Resin art classes are a lesson in going with the flow. From swirling colours to pouring paint, it’s an abstract feast for the eyes. Beautiful yet chaotic, to work with resin is to relinquish control. One of the best ways to give couples a taste of resin art is to get them to make something practical such as resin art cheeseboards!
For couples who enjoy a cheese night or get down with a charcuterie board, a cheeseboard resin art class is the ultimate experience gift. They’ll love displaying their artisanal cheeseboard during cosy nights in or while entertaining friends. It becomes a centrepiece that tells their story—one filled with joy and shared love for crafty adventures.
Crafty jewellery gifts
Crafting jewellery together allows couple's to weave their love into something tangible and beautiful. From shaping delicate earrings to designing unique pendants or bracelets, a jewellery making class lets them infuse their personal touch into every handmade piece.
Give the loved-up duo in your life a chance to wear their heart on their sleeve (or finger or ears) with an experience gift for couples that is traditionally romantic but also uniquely creative. A piece of handmade jewellery will act as a testament to their love and serve as a poetic reminder of their time together.

Gift unique crockery at a kintsugi class
Add a personal touch to dinnerware with the art of kintsugi—one of the more thoughtful and stylish gift ideas for couples who appreciate the beauty in imperfection. Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer, celebrates the history and uniqueness of each piece, turning flaws into stunning features.
In a kintsugi class, couples will learn to mend and transform broken ceramics into functional and tasteful crockery, turning chipped or broken dishes into special creations accentuated with shimmering gold lines. For couple gifts that take on a deeper meaning, a kintsugi class symbolises enduring love in the face of cracks and challenges.
This craft isn't merely about fixing broken items—it's about embracing flaws and turning them into something extraordinary. The experience of crafting kintsugi crockery together fosters a deeper appreciation for the imperfect, a symbolic representation of resilience and the beauty of flaws.
The symbolism inherent in a kintsugi class makes them ideal for anniversary gifts. Just ask Karmela V. who enjoyed an art of kintsugi class in Potts Point for her anniversary:
"We booked a private class for our anniversary and it was excellent! She taught us in her private studio and Yoko was very thorough in teaching us the history of Kintsugi. The materials were all provided and she taught us how to make Kintsugi in the traditional process with modern materials. It was very relaxing and enjoyable I highly recommend it."
When it comes to gift-giving, the quest to find something special for stylish couples need not be intimidating. From the artful elegance of kintsugi to the cosy creativity of textile classes, a crafty class is a gift for couples that lets them make their own gift—the one they really want. Plus, it allows them to spend some quality time together. These classes aren’t just about crafting physical items—they’re about shared memories and a celebration of blended style and shared spaces. These thoughtful gifts not only enhance their home but also create lasting memories, strengthening the bond between two people whose love and style stand out from the crowd.
