Our location
The Mindful Maker Sydney is open strictly during workshop times only, in Killara NSW. We will send you the address once you have booked your class.
Please enter our workshop and event space via the front door situated above a flight of stairs.
As there are no level entranceways, we are regrettably unable to offer wheelchair / disabled access.
Parking and public transport
By car – ample on-street parking is available.
Public transport – both Killara and Lindfield Railway Stations are approximately 2km away. Each station connects with bus route no. 565, reaching our location within 10 mins.
Taxis or Ubers from either station are also an option and take around 6-8 mins to get to us.
By foot – around 30 mins if you feel like a good walk!
What to wear on the day
Whatever you’ll feel comfortable in – and if you’re booked for a class in our kitchen, we’ll have an apron here for you.
However, please wear flat fully closed-in shoes to our sessions – no sandals/open-toe shoes. This is for your safety and a precaution against any hot spills or sharp objects.
In these COVID-19 times, while not mandatory, please feel comfortable to wear a mask if you would like. Hand sanitiser, spare masks and hand washing facilities are readily available.
What to expect
Our workshops are either make-it-yourself classes or hands-on demonstrations.
We purposefully keep our numbers small to maximise your creative experience with ample engagement with our experienced teachers.
We aim to have you leave with the knowledge and confidence to continue your chosen creative activity at home.
Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to make new friendships and connections with other attendees over delicious refreshments either during or after the workshop session.
We’re keen to share the fun we have together with others across our promotional channels including social media, website and newsletters, so please let us know before the start of any class or event if you’d prefer not to be included in our photography.
Our number one priority at The Mindful Maker Sydney is to care for all who come along to our workshops and events. We all want to have the best experience possible, so we ask that you be respectful of others at all times.
Our full Terms and Conditions are detailed here.

Something special for you - or that special someone
Featuring favourite artisanal, handmade goodies, our little pop-up store is available only during workshop sessions. If you would like to purchase out of these special times, please get in touch.
We also offer gift certificates for personalised giving, in either e-card or printed options.
Your gift certificate contains a unique coupon code which needs to be applied during the checkout stage of booking a class. Gift certificates can also be redeemed by emailing or calling us on 0468 424 437 to book a particular workshop.
Group bookings
Looking for a memorable experience for a hen’s party, a special family or friend’s celebration, team building – or just a great afternoon out with friends?
We love taking special group bookings for between 6 to 8 attendees, aged over 18 years. Pricing for this will be dependant on the number of attendees, event duration and type of workshop. Please email us your enquiry.
There will more than likely be goodies to enjoy as part of the fun – and even more to take home – all dependent on the type of experience you choose.
