A story of freshness

Welcome to Under the Cypress, a small but cozy studio nestled in Melbourne's west, where creativity and mindfulness meet.

My name is Winky—an architectural and graphic designer turned leather and calligraphy artist, and above all, a passionate handcraft lover.

​

As a mother of a one-year-old, I know how important it is to find moments of peace amidst a busy life. That’s why I created this space—a haven for you to slow down, reconnect with your creative side, and enjoy the therapeutic joy of crafting.
 

Whether you’re here with friends or on your own, I strive to make each workshop an intimate, relaxing, and inspiring experience. From working with high-quality leather to exploring the elegance of calligraphy, every moment is about expressing yourself and nurturing your well-being.

Join me at Under the Cypress to create art, make memories, and enjoy a break from the everyday hustle—all while sipping a cup of our complimentary specialty coffee.
 

Let’s craft something beautiful together.
