By Jana Lepojevic

Is your calendar packed with obligations that leave you drained? Or maybe your schedule is wide open and you’re craving something new? Either way, it’s time to hit pause and find things to do that fill your cup.

With April around the corner, you might already be thinking about the Easter long weekend or how to keep yourself entertained as the seasons shift. Whether you’re making the most of the school holidays with family or simply looking for a fun solo activity, we’ve rounded up some of the best things to do next month across Australia. Get ready to tap into your creative side!

Creative things to do in Sydney

If you’re after a mindful escape from the daily hustle, there are plenty of things to do in Sydney to help you unwind. 

  • Create a peaceful retreat with a Japanese Zen terrarium workshop. Layer sand, stones and greenery to design your own miniature oasis and bring some serenity into your space.
  • Do you have a furry friend to immortalise? Turn them into an adorable dog keychain in this needle felting class in Surry Hills! This satisfying craft lets you sculpt soft wool into a tiny, cuddly keepsake—perfect for animal lovers!
  • Learn the traditional art of shibori at this workshop in Stanmore. This ancient Japanese indigo dyeing technique will leave you with stunning hand-dyed textiles and a new creative skill.

Top three things to do in Perth

Craving a different type of rest in Perth? These creative workshops will take you out of your thoughts and into your senses, the perfect sensory rest for overthinkers!

  • Play with fire in a raku firing class, where you’ll glaze pre-made cups and cast them to the flames, ready to transform into a unique piece you can take home. This centuries-old Japanese technique produces unpredictable and stunning results. It’s a little out of the ordinary and so much fun!
  • Ever heard of water marbling? If not, it’s time to try a water marbling workshop! Watch mesmerising swirls of colour come to life and create beautiful, unique keepsakes to take home. No artistic experience is needed—just a love for colour and unique patterns!
  • If you’re looking to learn a traditional craft in Perth, this amigurumi crochet workshop in Subiaco will introduce you to the art of crochet as you stitch tiny, adorable animals. This mindful activity is one of the best things to do in Perth for those looking to switch off and let their hands do the work.

  • If nature helps you unwind, try a botanical monoprint mandala class and make art from foraged leaves and flowers. You’ll work with ink, leaves and petals to create a beautiful black and white nature-inspired artwork. Plus, you’ll find the process incredibly meditative.  
  • Tired of screens and craving to feel the earth with your hands? Try kokedama, the Japanese moss ball technique. This workshop in Port Noarlunga will get your hands dirty and see you making living art for your home.
  • Sometimes feeding your soul is as simple as making a salad bowl from scratch at a pottery class. Not only have you crafted a handmade salad bowl you can feel proud of, but you may find pottery to be your new favourite relaxing hobby!

Join this wood carving workshop to bring cute little creatures to life with your own unique artistic touch!
  • Design a custom LED lamp using laser cutting technology. This is the perfect activity if you’ve got an upcoming gifting occasion or simply want to take some time for yourself to pick up new skills and walk away with a cool custom lamp.
