Resin Coaster Making Workshop

If you’re looking to try out something new or just wanting a great time! Chelsey’s Resin workshop is the perfect choice. We were warmly welcomed into her place with tea and coffee and were taken step by step into the process of creating our resin coasters. We all fell in love with the fluidity and therapeutic nature of the paint reacting with the resin- and also her adorable dog Rocky. We can’t + more

Isabel Chan

Paint and Sip Class

You can’t go past this experience Sign up! Upon arriving at the studio we were welcomed by the lovely Kylie, Zia, the gorgeous studio pup and blown away by the spectacular Bayview water view. As we settled in with our bubbles, we started discussing with Kylie the construct of the painting and the next 3 hours just flowed. The music in the studio never stopped nor did the chatter, laughter and + more

Acrylic Paint Pouring Class

The experience was great my only concern was timing - the workshop took longer than expected

Reply from this teacher:

It was really great speaking to you in person when you picked up your paintings about this. And just for anyone else who could have a concern about time, in the future I can organise getting you out early, as long as you don’t stick around longer, all will be fine. It was great that you did - and stayed to watch the others, even though that made you late. In the future I will make sure I let you know when we will finish so you can keep on time with your plans.

Thank you

Sarah Mackenzie

Paint and Sip Class

The class was in an amazing venue. There was enough space, but it still felt cosy. There were lots of choices on what we could paint, and we were supplied with everything we needed. The class was incredibly good value for money.

Carrie Markel

Resin Jewellery and Mould Making Workshop

Amazing, engaging instructors with an incredible depth of experience. The value for money is incredible as you not only get the instruction but a great set of materials to walk away with quality jewelry. Will be back!

Jeanie Stewart

Abstract Painting, Half Day Class

Had a fun and relaxing time at Yvette's class this morning. We were encouraged to freely explore the techniques demonstrated and the materials provided. The short guided medication at the beginning of the class was a great way to leave what's on your mind and focus on creating something from scratch. Will definitely come again.

Fun Art classes / courses in Sydney

ClassBento provides some of the most popular art-based Sydney workshops available. We’ve compiled lists of the best art classes in Sydney so that you can easily find something that piques your interest and invites you to try something new. With ClassBento art classes, you’ll learn from the best art teachers in Sydney - no matter the medium. You’ll love the passion and excitement that these teachers bring to the art classes that are quickly becoming part of everyone’s top 10 things to do in Sydney. Art classes are some of the more unique experiences Sydney locals and tourists can both enjoy.

Regardless of whether you’re an art expert or a total beginner, you’ll be able to find art classes in Sydney that are perfect for you. Try a fluid art class to get loose and create impressionist pieces. Or, learn the fundamentals of realistic portraiture in drawing classes or painting classes. There are art classes for kids, or you might opt for art classes for adults like a paint and sip class. If typography is more your style, you can even try calligraphy classes. All of our art classes are welcoming for different levels of experience and previous training, which means you can try your hand at a variety of new styles - from basic drawing to painting courses to still life drawing - and always have a great time.

Perfect for beginners

One of the things that makes these art classes some of the best things to do in Sydney with kids and people without much experience with art is that they are so accessible for everyone. We have students who have been to art school and others who have never even picked up a paintbrush, and everyone has a wonderful experience. Some of the most popular Sydney workshops for beginners include our fun sip and paint classes and our basic drawing, photography, or painting classes.

Not only are these art classes great for individuals looking to explore their creative interests, but they’re also some of the most fun things to do in Sydney in groups. Whether you’re looking for kids activities Sydney families can do together, or you’re planning a fun bridal shower or birthday party, you’ll find art classes that your group will love. Art classes also make great team bonding activities to improve workplace wellbeing, which is why corporate wellness programs often use ClassBento for their activities. With so many painting classes for kids, you won’t have to worry about school holiday activities in Sydney either.

Our art classes are inviting, casual, and informative. Your experienced art teacher will teach you all the basics that you might learn at art school but always with a desire to make the classes enjoyable and accessible for every participant. In painting classes, you may talk about colour composition while a still life drawing class may cover things like balance and shading, but all of the classes will be equally fun and allow you to tap into your creativity.

Health benefits of art

It’s time to let go of the melancholy artist stereotype. In fact, art is a mood-boosting activity that provides plenty of benefits. You’ll love the sense of calm and tranquility that you can tap into when you pick up a pencil or a paintbrush, and there’s also the satisfaction of watching your progress and sharing your art with your loved ones. The creativity that you start to build in an art class will carry over to other parts of your life, and you’ll love the positive effect art has on your overall wellbeing.

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.
