Reviews for our Birthday workshops
Emma Vonwiller
Make Chinese Dumplings at Home
This was a really fun event. It was a birthday celebration and included the birthday girl, her siblings, parents and grandparents through three Zoom connections. Dylan was a terrific teacher. He was very patient, repeated or clarified steps as required and made the whole experience so enjoyable. He is also a very accomplished dumping chef! Thank you Dylan

Learn Botanical Watercolour Painting at Home
Blair was great, right from the beginning she went over and above to ensure my private class for my birthday would be perfect including a bespoke stencil, making sure everyone got their kits with Australia post delays and constant and instant communication. The class was enjoyable, lots of great beginner techniques for us all to begin our watercolour journey!
Rita Kumar
Loved the class! Enjoyed the personalised feedback and interactions with Sue. The class gave me a lot of ideas for future art projects and designs for birthday cards.

Soy Candle Making Workshop - Como
What a great session and a cute little setup. Jane's a great teacher and very informative. I also bought 2 additional packs to take home. Don't know if I'll try making some more candles at home or give the packs as gifts to friends for their birthdays! Thanks Jane & Mark.

Everything was so easy to learn and I am so proud of my birds, even though I am NOT creative or artsy in any way. Highly recommend this class for groups or just yourself. I found it a great way to destress and be mindful when lockdown gets to be too much. + more

Cookie Decorating with Royal Icing

The instructions that come with the cookie box were very clear and easy to follow. Make sure you are prepped with all the required equipment and take your royal icing out of the fridge (Anna sends it to you in advance) and are all ready to go before the lesson, otherwise you will lose valuable time as Anna Maria packs a lot into the class. Thanks so much Anna Maria, we had a great time + more

Sip and Science Class: DIY Kokedamas
Bianca came to us and provided all the gear, she was very informative and made the class interesting and fun. We had 5 x 12 year old girls and 1 x 7 year old for a birthday party activity. Everyone got to make 2 x Kokedama and learn new things - particularly about plants, soil and sustainability. All the girls had fun and have all talked about wanting to try and make some more.

Fun birthday party ideas
Our birthday party ideas are aimed at bringing out your creative side while having fun. Sit back and relax as you don’t need to worry about having any previous experience. Our art classes are designed at beginner level so everyone can have the opportunity to take part in them. Our local Australian teachers and makers will help you unwind and take time out of life’s daily stresses. Expect to smile, love and laugh during our fun and engaging classes!
If you’re looking to celebrate differently this year, whether you’re looking for a low key birthday getaway or a surprise party for your loved one, you’ll certainly find something they’ll love. From DIY candle making kits to learning how to smoke meats on the BBQ, the list of birthday party ideas in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne boasts enough choice to suit every type of personality.
How to throw an incredible birthday celebration
You’ll be able to easily throw an incredible birthday celebration this year. Book a few of our classes so you can make the most of the birthday party. For women, start the day with learning how to make your own perfume. In this fascinating class, you’ll learn everything there is to know about making the perfect fragrance while learning how to blend certain scents together. Wait until your friends ask you where you bought your perfume from and you tell them you made it yourself.
For men, we recommend starting the day bringing out your creative side. Dig deep and get your hands dirty while learning everything there is to know about building your very own kokedama. Kokedama bring your home to life and while they don’t need a lot of watering, you’ll love your very own custom made jungle! For lunch time, we recommend booking an amazing cooking class for either men or women. With thousands of cooking classes to choose from, simply decide which cuisine you think the birthday girl/boy would love and organise either a private party or they can join other like-minded people either in-person or online. When it comes to organising birthday parties at night, we recommend taking part in a paint and sip class or an amazing cocktail making class. You can do both classes either in person or online and they’ll end an amazing birthday with lots of laughter and fun shared amongst loved ones.
