Travel to springtime in Japan in this paint and sip class in Melbourne! While international travel is off the cards, this creative class in Kew is the next best thing.
You can join us for a night full of fun and enthusiasm along with great music while you gain artistic tuition from a professional artist. No experience is necessary and beginners are encouraged.
All painting materials are provided such as a canvas, easel, paints, brushes and an apron. Bring your favourite nibbles and drinks, we provide all glassware, bottle openers and ice for a wonderful evening.
At the end of the class, you will take home your own finished Japanese spring artwork on a 30×40 stretched canvas, ready to hang on the wall or give as a beautiful gift.
The studio's door opens 15 minutes before and closes 15  minutes after the starting time. Arriving later would be considered a no-show-up!
If you would like to have more time for drinking and socializing, you are more than welcome to come earlier to view the exhibitions in our gallery spaces. Please find the information regarding our current exhibitions and the gallery's hours on our website.

The venue was nice and clean, and the atmosphere fun, though a little on the small side so it can feel a little squishy when there's a full class.
