What to expect at craft classes for beginners

At our beginner-friendly craft classes, you’ll have the opportunity to unwind and relax while learning a cool new skill. As is the case with all of our workshops, you don’t need any experience to take part. In fact, each class is perfect for newbies and novices. Never picked up a paintbrush? Everyone starts somewhere. Got a DIY craft project you’ve had on your Pinterest board for months? Our experienced teachers can help you bring your craft ideas to life, no matter your level of experience!

Our craft workshops are all about learning something new in a stress-free environment. In fact, our teachers understand how beneficial art, craft and creativity can be for our mental wellbeing, which is why many of them offer craft classes for teams and groups. Forget the conventional team building exercises and treat your crew to a relaxed experience that will re-energise them from the get-go.

If you’re looking for fun things to do in Brisbane and you’re flying solo, book into one of our public classes and meet some fellow Brisbanites! Seeking out cute date night ideas for Valentine’s Day so you can spoil your special someone? Why not head along to a paint and sip class together? As one of the most popular craft classes in Brisbane, you’ll spend the evening sipping on your favourite vintage (BYO, of course) while you learn hand-building techniques and get creative with clay. Maybe you’re looking for indoor activities in Melbourne that you can do on a rainy day? There are so many craft ideas for adults to choose from! Think everything from glass fusing and crochet to spoon carving and Japanese ink art workshops.

Unwind at home with online craft classes in Australia

Can’t make it to a local class in person? No matter where you are in Australia, you can join one of our online art classes without leaving the comfort of your own home. With our virtual classes and DIY craft kits, we’re bringing creativity back into your life in the simplest way possible. By tuning into the virtual class via Zoom, you’ll be able to follow along as one of our talented artisans guides you through the creative process. Whether you’re crafting a DIY plant hanger using clay building techniques or you’re keen to try your hand at Kintsugi, the trending traditional Japanese art, our online craft classes can make it happen. What’s more, you don’t need a stack of crafting materials on hand. We’ll send everything you need straight to your door, so all you have to do is jump online and say “hi” to your friendly teacher. Perfect for virtual team building activities, periods of self-isolation or fun Zoom activities for interstate family and friends, our craft kits and online classes are the ultimate way to spend time with the people you love or treat yourself to something special.

If you can’t get to one of our craft classes in Sydney because you’re in isolation, we can help! Isolating at home is mentally taxing, but by taking on a new hobby like mosaic, jewellery-making or pottery for beginners, you’ll feel more fulfilled and more purposeful. Refine your skills, keep your mind busy and engage with an activity that makes you feel good! Even you’re stuck in your bedroom and you’re looking for things to do at home, you can still connect with your friends and family. Our online craft classes are suitable for groups, so you can all join in and learn something new together.
