Reviews for our Birthday workshops
Cindy Simpson
Mobile Mixology Class: the Prettiest Cocktails
Jen and Belinda were delightful! they arrived early to set up the class dressed beautifully. The grazing platter was of very high standard and very well presented with high quality delights. We had a lovely evening as Jen and Belinda walked us all thru how to create and garnish pretty cocktails. It was a perfect way to celebrate my husbands birthday. Thank you for the great experience xx
Julieanne Matheson
Fluid Art Workshop: Dutch Pouring
We did the Dutch poring with Julie Langdon. I bought this for my 15 yo daughter as a birthday present. She LOVED the experience and learnt some new techniques to creating different artworks. Julie was very experienced and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Hamy Rong
This is absolutely a 10/10 experience! Highly recommend for handcraft lovers! Brought my cousin here for her birthday and she kept telling me it’s such a great time! Rumaysa is such a friendly and helpful lady, I really enjoyed our conversation today!
Sandra Unnasch
Resin Art Workshop: Cheeseboard and Coaster Set
I was gifted this from my children for my Milestone Birthday last year I am a creative diy artist myself however Resin is definitely not my forte I was so excited to have this opportunity to learn this new skill and found the whole experience with Kerry exciting and well facilitated. I can’t wait to collect my work of Art when it’s dry . Thanks Sandi
Rachel Kremer
Custom Art Party for Kids (5+ Years)
My daughter loved this birthday party for her 12th birthday. Karen had them all well organised and enthralled in their paintings, All kids had a great time. I must admit as a parent it was the easiest party I’ve organised. The venue was beautiful and it allowed mum and dad to have time for a little quiet drink together.
Spiroula Stathakis
Sip and Paint Class - Chippendale
Great experience, a little more of a professional working space would have been good but that rustic atmosphere works. Took my boyfriend as a surprise for his birthday and he got to paint his favourite artist Tupac - absolutely loved it! Music was great, teacher was great and helpful and the artwork choices were awesome! Would definitely go back! :)
Stephanie Doughty
Perfume Making Class: Make Your Own Signature Scent
Louella is informative, energetic and so incredibly passionate She is so friendly and really makes the experience wonderful! I walked in excited with an open mind to learn and walked out with a full heart, beautiful personalised bottles of perfume and a whole lot of knowledge! Thank you for making my birthday special Louella!

Sip and Paint Pouring Class: Two Canvases
A wonderful experience as it added to my friend’s birthday hands on experience. Our teacher was very patient and thoughtful. He guided us and showed what was required with easy steps, scaffolding the work with examples. The venue was good as it looked like a studio. All the requirements were supplied even the take home box to add our artistic works from the night. Highly recommend this workshop.A wonderful experience as it added to my friend’s birthday hands on experience. Our teacher was very patient and thoughtful.

Fun birthday party ideas
Our birthday party ideas are aimed at bringing out your creative side while helping you to fun in a warm and welcoming environment. Sit back and relax – you don’t need to worry about having any previous experience. Our art classes are designed for beginners so everyone can take part, regardless of whether or not they picked up a paint brush before. Our local Australian teachers and makers will help you unwind, allowing you to take time out from life’s daily stresses. Expect to smile and laugh during our fun and engaging classes!
Looking to celebrate differently this year? Whether you’re seeking out a low key birthday getaway or a surprise party for your loved one, you’ll certainly find the perfect party ideas right here. 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 is diverse enough to suit every type of personality.
How to throw an incredible birthday celebration
Unlike last year, in 2022, you’ll be able to throw an incredible birthday celebration no matter where you are in Australia. You can even book a few of our classes so you can make the most of your special day! Why not start the festivities by 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! Not too keen on perfume? Kickstart the day by bringing out your creative side while surrounding yourself with soil. Dig deep and get your hands dirty while learning everything there is to know about building your very own kokedama, otherwise known as a Japanese moss ball. Kokedama brings your home to life, and as they don’t need a lot of watering, they're the perfect custom-made jungle! For lunch, we recommend booking a delicious cooking class. With thousands of cooking classes to choose from, simply pick the cuisine you think the birthday girl/boy would love and organise either a private party! You can also join other like-minded people in a group class and get to know some fellow foodies. 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. Cocktail making and paint and sip are by far our more popular party ideas!
We’re here to help make your birthday ideas amazing
No matter whether you’re in charge of planning a kids party for a large group or a small gathering for some close friends, we’re here to take all of the stress out of planning party ideas so that you can focus on the more important things. It’s as simple as searching for the best things to do in your city and getting in touch with us, so we can help you host the party of your dreams. Discover some of the best activities and workshops across Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Gold Coast. Many of our teachers are mobile which means they can come to your home or venue with all of the materials you’ll need for the experience or class, so all you have to worry about is having an amazing time!
And if your friends are spread across the country or living in remote areas we can bring the party to them with our fun and accessible online classes so no one has to miss out! Our arts, craft and cooking classes double as incredible indoor birthday party ideas, and again, all you need to worry about is sending out the invitations and set yourself up with a good wifi connection. Before the class, our incredible artisans and makers will post all of the attendees a DIY craft kit filled with all of the materials and tools your "guests" will need for the experience. Login to the live stream, unpack your party box and make something amazing with your best friends and family!
