Join practising artist Estelle Leishman each Monday from 10 am – 12:30 pm for our relaxed and inspiring Make & Create sessions at Picture Point Gallery.
Designed as an open studio-style class, these sessions invite students to bring along their own projects and preferred mediums while receiving personalised guidance, support, and creative feedback from Estelle.
Each week explores a different theme, technique, or creative focus, encouraging students to build confidence, develop new skills, and continue growing their individual artistic style.
Whether you are returning to art, exploring a new medium, or looking for regular creative time, Make And Create Mondays offer a welcoming space to learn, experiment, and connect with other artists in the community.

Picture Point has been proudly serving Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, the Hunter, and the Central Coast with expert custom framing for over 20 years. Our passion for presentation and visual storytelling has brought us into the heart of the art world, where every frame holds a story and every artwork deserves to shine.
Over the years, we've had the privilege of framing thousands of unique pieces, from treasured family memories to one-of-a-kind creations. That experience has inspired us to go beyond the frame and offer something more: a creative space where art is not only preserved but also created and shared.
Through Art at the Bay, our growing program of art classes, workshops, and community events, we’re excited to invite our customers and fellow creatives into the world of making art. Led by a passionate team of practicing artists, our mission is to make art accessible, enjoyable, and meaningful for everyone, regardless of experience.
Whether you’re looking for quality framing, a welcoming space to explore your creativity, or support as a local artist through our Creative Club, Picture Point is here to celebrate and support your artistic journey.
Because for us, framing and art go hand in hand, and we believe everyone has something beautiful to share.
For any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
