This is a great opportunity to expand your skills, connect with other creatives, and walk away with a beautiful headpiece to wear.
During the workshop, Cat Carmady, with over 10 years of experience designing headwear with Sweetpea Finery, will guide you through step-by-step instructions to learn to create one of her "Isla" crowns. By the end of the workshop, you'll have learned how to create a headband base for your crown, what materials work best and how to incorporate them easily, and assemble them into a wearable work of art.

Experience the joy of exploring a new skill in a comfortable and supportive environment. Cat will share her expertise and techniques, giving you the confidence to develop your own creations at home.
All the materials you need to create your finished headpiece will be provided, so all you need to bring is your creativity and enthusiasm. Plus, you'll take home your finished crown, serving as a tangible reminder of your creative journey.

Cairns Craft Cottage is the permanent HQ for three local creative businesses; Kit & Co Creations, Sweetpea Finery and Cookie Couture all headed by Cat Carmady.
Cat Carmady is known for her talent in creating and crafting. She began her career with a degree from QUT, after which she became the event manager for the north's largest cultural events, Festival Cairns.
Eventually she turned her skills to the family business, working alongside her husband to grow their thriving sign manufacturing business.
It was when she was expecting her first child that Cat rediscovered her love of crafting. Over ten years she established and grew a successful millinery boutique Sweetpea Finery whilst raising her three children.
In 2020, whilst isolating during the pandemic Cat became fascinated with the medium of polymer clay, and 3D printing. This lead to establishing a highly successful jewellery supply business Kit & Co.
In 2022 Cat achieved a long held dream to buy and renovate a classic cottage in the heart of Cairns from which to run her businesses.
This adorable location incorporates a workshop space where locals can come and express themselves through arts and crafts, and learn new skills.
