Fun Art classes / courses in Brisbane

Looking for fun things to do in Brisbane this weekend? It’s the perfect time to get creative with some of our fun art classes in Brisbane.

If you scroll through our art class listings on ClassBento you will find a range of art workshops to suit every interest and every budget. We have searched for the best art teachers in Brisbane and rounded up some of the best art classes in Brisbane so that you can find them all in one place. At ClassBento we’re all about empowering artists and crafters to teach their passion, and for people everywhere to discover new hobbies away from digital screens. Most of all, our range of art classes gives you the chance to find unique things to do in Brisbane outside of the usual Brisbane tourist attractions.

Learn how to draw at one of our fun drawing classes, kickback after work with a group paint and sip painting class, get experimental at a resin art class, entertain your kids after school with our range of art classes for kids, or if you’re looking for school holiday activities for kids in Brisbane why not immerse them at an art school for kids. If you’re looking for art classes for adults you will find a range of still life drawing classes, basic drawing lessons, painting courses like watercolor painting, and even calligraphy classes. Our teachers tell us that the first thing people say when they come to a class is “I’m not creative.” The best thing about our art workshops is that they will help you uncover your creativity!
 

Perfect for beginners

Whether you’re interested in drawing lessons, sip and paint classes, learning botanical drawing, or photography classes in Brisbane you will find a variety of art classes for beginners. You don’t need to have been to art school, be in the Brisbane art scene, or waste time typing “art classes near me” into Google, all you have to do is head to ClassBento and choose an art class near your location.

All art classes are taught by local Brisbane artists and crafters which means you will be learning from some of the most creative and inspiring people in Brisbane. Most of the classes are held in groups which makes them a good option if you’re searching for fun corporate team building activities, classy hens party ideas in Brisbane, or are just looking for something to on the weekend with friends. Similarly, if you’re looking to host fun kids party activities why not consider one of the painting classes for kids, or the drawing classes for kids.

Our ClassBento gift cards also mean that you can share our art classes with loved ones as experience gifts. There’s no better way to spend a birthday or special occasion than creating at a fun art workshop together. For most classes, all of the art supplies will be included and all you need to bring is yourself and a dash of creativity.

Health benefits of art

There’s a big reason art has been around as long as civilisation: creating comes naturally to us. The mental health benefits of being artistically active are linked with self expression and can be an excellent form of emotional release. Creating art can relieve stress, increase brain function and stimulate creative thinking. It’s one of the most helpful tools to use if you need to slow down and express your emotions freely in ways that aren’t restricted by words.

Custom classes

Want to learn or experience something specific? You can easily contact our teachers and arrange a custom workshop at your preferred time and to suit your skill level.

If you’re looking for a unique and memorable event these workshops are perfect things to do with friends on the weekend, for aged care groups, team building exercises, indoor things to do, and kids weekend activities. We've got a range of teachers who cater specifically to larger events, and we can customise classes to meet your needs. Get in touch today and we'll put something together for you.

Paint and Sip Class - Rivercity Riverfire



We had an awesome night. I had never painted anything in my life and walked away with a lasting memory. Structured enough for the beginner but freedom of creative licence to make it your own.

Watercolour Painting Class: Marine Animals



Great intro class into watercolour painting. Carlie is very knowledgable and helpful. Having sample artwork to see her technique on really helped to visualise the potential end results. Having all the materials and paint supplied was excellent, and doing a practice piece of each of the 4 techniques first was a good idea. I'll definitely be doing more painting at home now!

Paint and Sip Class - Paint Your Pet



Such a great class! I had zero painting experience and do not consider myself to be very artistic. The teacher was very helpful and the timings allowed for enough time to finish the painting without feeling rushed. All materials were supplied. Definitely recommend! A very mindful and relaxing experience where I left feeling proud of what I had created.

Kathy Brzoskowski

Smartphone Photography Course



Received this course as a Christmas gift (my idea ????). Our group ranged from 12-60ish and with hit and miss’ to some mobile camera and editing skills. Nikki was fantastic, patient and optimistic in our potential, taking the time with each of us and answering questions throughout. She’s full of great tips. Course is well structured with mini assignments whilst we walk through brisbane CBD enjoying the architecture, the green spaces and more from our renewed perspectives. The 3 hours just flew. A great investment and strongly recommend to everyone with a smartphone especially if you’re travelling.



I took my first date to this class and painted an alternate version of "The Chair" by Van Gogh. Our class had 4 people in total so it was nice, quiet and intimate. Dom was our teacher and he was the coolest dude ever. Very friendly, funny and helpful. The art materials provided were Of high quality and the location was easy to find. We both had an amazing time and I hope to join again soon! Cheers Dom and Dylan

Ammaarah Ahmad

Paint and Sip Class - Moments in Moonlight



The teacher was absolutely fantastic! She was easy to follow in instructions and also with creating a friendly environment for everyone.
The venue is suitable and enough room on your station to sit or stand comfortably to paint!
The materials provided were all ready and more available as needed. We came in a little late but as everything was already prepared for us we were able to join the class quickly.
Amazing value for money and as it goes for 3 hours you have enough time to create a masterpiece but also not feel so rushed.
I will definitely be back here as it’s lovely environment with great teachers and fantastic things to paint. A must do in Brisbane!!!!
