My workshops
Life moves fast — and it’s easy to forget what it feels like to slow down, breathe, and make something just for the joy of it.
Marianne’s Gem Tree Workshops are a creative pause — a space to relax, chat, and craft your own gem tree from sparkling beads and colourful wire.
You’ll laugh, sip tea, and leave with a piece of art that reflects you.
Why People Love The Experience
We all crave a bit of calm — something hands-on, colorful, and grounding.
But finding the time (and confidence) to be creative can be difficult.
At my workshops, everything’s ready for you.
You just show up — and let your imagination take over.
No Pressure.
No Perfection.
Just Colour.
Laughter.
And the magic of making something with your own hands.
Hi, I'm Marianne....
My workshops are where I share my love for creativity, connection, and colour.
I hope my workshops inspire you to slow down, play, and make something that makes you smile.
I believe creativity is therapy for the soul.
My workshops are relaxed, welcoming, and designed for anyone.
No art experience needed.
You’ll learn step by step how to make a dazzling gem tree, all in a calm, friendly space while spending time with good friends.
“At the end of the workshop, when people finish their trees, “they’re amazed at what they’ve created.
— Marianne

We came to Marianne’s workshop with my two sons, ages 9 and 11 — it was an unforgettable evening! They enjoyed it so much ❤️ Marianne was simply amazing — professional, kind, and the 3.5 hours flew by like 5 minutes. Highly recommended!!! Truly an incredible experience.

I took my two daughters (ages 16 and 18) to a creative workshop with Marianne — it was simply wonderful! Marianne is lovely and patient, creating a calm and pleasant atmosphere. She’s an artist at heart. We left with beautiful creations — we all had such a great time, and my daughters have already asked for another workshop 🙂 Highly recommended!

I just love sparkly things — jewelry, crystals, gemstones. My heart literally races when I see them (everyone who knows me can confirm!). So when I saw an ad for a gem tree workshop, I just had to go. I invited my friend, who also loves crystals and gemstones, to join me. Marianne was our instructor — she showed us how to combine crystals, beads, and pearls and twist the wires in all kinds of colors. It was the most fun afternoon — a little mini vacation for me! Marianne is so helpful (and it’s clear she truly loves what she does). She genuinely enjoyed watching our creations come to life. I highly recommend this workshop — no doubt I’ll be back for another one!

Such a fun and unique experience! Marianne and her husband Woody welcomed us with open arms and big smiles. Marianne runs the workshop in a very pleasant and engaging way. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, with endless creative possibilities. Marianne guides you throughout the process and shows many examples she’s made herself. You can really see how talented she is and how much she loves what she does.
We went home with unique keepsakes and a few lovely photos that Woody took during the session. We’ll definitely be back!

It was amazing! Marianne and her husband were wonderful. We came for a birthday — a mother and two daughters — and she did everything to make it as special as possible.

Dear Marianne, we had an amazing, enriching experience and enjoyed every moment. Your professionalism, patience, and warmth are truly inspiring. We loved the rich variety and abundance of materials. I’m sure we’ll meet again. Thank you so much, and wishing you a happy, healthy, and creative new year!

I decided to treat myself for my birthday and signed up for a workshop with Marianne to make a tree. Even though I came alone, I didn’t feel lonely for a single moment. Marianne’s explanation of how to create the tree was perfect, and she made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. I couldn’t believe four hours had passed — and the result was stunning! (I’m sure that even if it had taken longer, she would have let me keep going at my own pace until I was completely happy with it.)
Don’t hesitate if you’re looking to spend a few peaceful, creative hours. Marianne has an amazing variety of colors and styles — everyone can find something that suits them perfectly. Thank you, Marianne! I promise I’ll be back. ❤️

When my friend told me about the crystal tree workshop, I didn’t even have to think for a second — I immediately said “yes!” and had the most fun, creative afternoon! Marianne is a wonderful teacher — she gave clear, step-by-step instructions on how to create a personalized crystal tree and has incredible patience. She has a huge variety of crystals, beads, and pearls in every color, plus different types of bases. If you don’t know where to start, she helps you choose!
Marianne created such a relaxing, pleasant environment — she played our favorite music, offered delicious cookies and tea — it was truly a treat! I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for relaxing, creative quality time. And the best part? You go home with a stunning crystal tree! The photos don’t do them justice!
