Some recent reviews for our Art classes
Jeanie Stewart • Apr 2021
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.
Leah Robinson • Apr 2021
Fluid Art Workshop: Two in One
Loved the class! Chelsey is warm and generous. Chelsey has created a beautiful and relaxed space for art making. Such a gift for her students to learn in this meditative atmosphere. Chelsey explains the steps and methods clearly, and has lots of knowledge and technical experience to share. Explored new fluid techniques and Chelsey made working with resin fun and easy. Loved the results!
Vanessa Morrison • Apr 2021
A great class highly recommend. Chelsey was very informative and fun. You don’t need experience as Chelsey explains everything and gave a great demo.
Leticia Demartini • Apr 2021
My friend and I had an amazing and relaxing time at Kylie’s Bayview Painting Studio! Kylie is a great teacher and her Studio is very welcoming! I am proud of my first paint attempt and enjoyed every single minute of this experience!

What an exceptional class from a knowledgeable and generous instructor! I had done two resin classes prior to attending fluid - one where I did a resin artwork and the other where I'd done resin jewellery. I learned two new techniques at this course - resin coasters (something I didn't think I'd like much but is now my favourite!) and acrylic fluid art.

This was a fun class and Luka was a good teacher. I was the only one doing jewellery on the day. The others were doing serving boards, so I got to see what they were doing as well! I travelled from Sydney to the location near Gosford, which was an easy drive on a Saturday morning. The venue was perfect for art classes, so worked well for the class.

Teachers were very helpful. The class was fun. Lots of colours to choose from. The space had a lot of ambiance. Throughly enjoyed the class, highly recommended.
Liz McDougall • Apr 2021
Alfonso was professional, patient and engaging. He was able to teach artistic and technical components in a way which will mean we can improve our photography long after this class. Handy tips and suggestions and plenty of encouragement made the group finish on a high. Thanks for a fabulous afternoon Alfonso!
Alina Selwin • Apr 2021
Looooved this class. The class was well organized. I had come in with no idea regarding acrylic pain pouring and left with a genuine interest in this art form. Had so much fun doing it. Leah was so patient with everyone in the class. Totally worth it. I definitely will attend more classes in the future.
Denzil Saldanha • Apr 2021
Leah is such an amazing teacher. The acrylic pouring class was a beautiful experience for both me and my friend. Leah was kind and took us through the basics of acryic pouring and then reassured along the way untill we created our masterpiece. Highly recommend this class for anyone trying to dabble in this artform!
Thipphachan Leuanevilay • Apr 2021
very good class with nice view. I had so much fun. The teacher is so sweet. Worth trying!
Imelda Ellis • Apr 2021
The class was really fun and enlightening . I’ve dabbled with watercolour and oil painting. Acrylic pouring personally is the most fun and exciting. I am looking forward to doing another piece. Leah is a great teacher.
Sophia Luu • Apr 2021
My partner and I loved this class! Chelsea was a great teacher. We've learnt so much about fluid art while having fun! The UV experience is like none other. I couldn't recommend this class enough!
Cheryl Smith • Mar 2021
The teacher was very good at simplifying the steps for us to follow. It was a fun night
Gemma Westlake • Mar 2021
Parika was a beautiful teacher - so quiet & kind & patient & encouraging. She took us through the colour wheel, how to mix colours, different brush techniques, how to paint different types of flowers I learnt so much & was pleasantly surprised at how my final painting turned out!

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.
