Daisy - Metalsmith, Astrologer + Ritual orientated intimate workshop Facilitator

Finding this craft has been a beautiful whirlwind for me. From a young age, I understood the worth and wonder of wearing a piece of the earth. Though I never suspected I’d one day work so intimately and passionately with such materials. 
My love for rocks is certainly what led me to this craft, but I was deeply surprised at just how much the metalwork captivated me and my creative life. I have been working as a self taught metalsmith since 2022. 

Not long after finding my creative home as a metalsmith, I found myself anchored by the wisdom of traditional astrology. Each quickly solidifying their place as two of my great loves. I am drawn in and stirred by both as instruments of storytelling amongst much else. My hope and intention is to alchemise sentimental pieces for you that facilitate beauty and mystery in your life, while connecting you to Story.

ritual oriented, intimate workshops

I am thrilled and delighted to offer intimate workshops in metalsmithing for groups of 1-4. This allows for an individual or small group of friends, partners, or family to comfortably come together and learn, create and share in an alchemical experience with one another. 

This format offers more space for meaning-making and is completely adaptable. Whether you’ve come to this offering for a rites of passage for yourself, a ring making ritual for you and a beloved, or purely with the desire to play and create, you will have my utmost attention, care and support as we create together. 

Both ritual and play are intrinsic to the craft of metal smithing. I would be honoured to create alongside you and help facilitate a unique experience for you and your loved ones.

Workshops are held at Sisu Apothecary in Fairfield, Victoria, a truly stunning space to connect and create in. 

Booking is available below. 

Thank you so much for considering me as a witness and teacher.

Big love, Daisy

Thank you so much for being here.

The hands and heart behind Muddied Hands,
Daisy

Katie Wong, kinesiologist, reiki master-teacher, regression therapist, meditation guide, energy practitioner and educator

“I am here to guide you deeply within to reconnect with the parts of yourselfyou have neglected, rejected, suppressed or disowned

so you can become whole/holy and once more feel the awe that is ever present within you moving into greater intimacy with your Self as you touch upon the mystical there awakens a remembrance retrieving this knowing of who you are life takes on a deeper meaning

so much more becomes available you are enlivened with stars in your eyes heart alive and awake walking with love

you”

Katie deeply cares about helping others live in greater alignment with their true nature, a path she embarked on more than a

decade ago. A former Type A corporate suit in heels, she is now a barefoot modern intuitive after following her inner guidance

and leaving a successful, yet deeply unfulfilling,15-year corporate career in 2012.

With continued studies and a devoted self practice, Katie has fine-tuned the way she is able to get to the heart of the matter.

She works with an innate pure knowing, and is able to transmit healing that catalyses inner transformation.

Working with individuals and groups, Katie weaves the mystical into the grounded human experience. She guides and supports

your healing with energetic and nature-based remedies. Helping you to clear past shock or trauma, re-program belief systems

and move beyond limiting conditioned patterns, restoring flow and harmony as you open up to your full potential.

It gives her immense joy to walk alongside pilgrims on their journey of self discovery and empowerment as they find their way

back to their whole/holy Self.


Sisu, Shop Assistant

Sisu may like to think that the shop was named after her fine regal self, but both Sisu and the shop’s namesake comes from the Finnish word for courage through adversity, and the recognition of the tenacity, beauty and strength that lives in every individual. Allowing us to see beyond self held physical, emotional and mental limitations.

She’s an absolute charmer despite a sometimes grumpy expression, and can normally be found relaxing in the shop sunshine charming the socks of unsuspecting passersby.
