Perth’s sunshine and beaches are always a great idea, but sometimes the best way to enjoy the city is by trying something new. If you’re looking for fun things to do in Perth next month, we’ve got creative workshops and experiences that go beyond the ordinary. From throwing clay and mixing paints to crafting silver jewellery, these hands-on activities will brighten up your calendar and give your routine a refreshing twist.
1. Sip wine and spin clay
If you’ve never tried throwing clay on a wheel before, a pottery wheel and wine workshop at House of Hobby in West Perth is the perfect way to dive in. Imagine sipping on your favourite drink and learning to shape bowls or vases with the guidance of a friendly local teacher.
What makes this workshop so enjoyable is that they’re not about perfection—they’re about the joy of creating something with your own hands. Even if your pot turns out a little lopsided (#wonkyceramics), it still carries your personal touch, and that’s what makes it special. Plus, you’ll come away with a unique piece of pottery to keep as a memory of the day.
Why you’ll love it…
This is a brilliant activity to do with friends, a partner or even solo if you’re in the mood for some mindful me-time. And don’t worry if you’re a complete beginner. The atmosphere is light-hearted, supportive and all about enjoying the process rather than stressing about the outcome. Next month, treat yourself to a few hours at the wheel—you could walk away with both a handmade mug and a brand-new creative obsession.
2. Frame your own flowers
Spring is here, so why not bottle up some of that fresh energy with a creative project? A pressed flower framing class is a gorgeous activity for anyone who loves flowers, design or simply slowing down with a calming craft.
Step into Joanna Hiu’s floral studio located in Fitzroy, with flowers lining every wall and table and get ready to get inspired! In this class, you’ll learn how to carefully press and preserve delicate blooms before arranging them into a design that feels like a window into nature.
Once framed, your artwork becomes a piece of living décor—something that adds warmth and elegance to your home. It’s also a beautiful way to celebrate a memory, whether it’s flowers from your garden, a bouquet from someone special or just blooms that caught your eye at the market.
Why you’ll love it…
Floral workshops are wonderfully therapeutic. There’s something meditative about working with flowers, paying attention to their colour, shape and tiny details. By the end, you’ll leave with both a new skill and a framed creation that reflects your style. It’s also a thoughtful experience to share with a friend, perfect for an afternoon catch-up that feels meaningful and creative.
3. Craft a silver ring
If you’re looking for something truly unique to do in Perth next month, a silversmithing workshop at Our Folk should definitely be on your list. Just think walking away at the end of the day with a handcrafted silver ring that you made yourself—how special is that?
Head to Stackwood Studio in Fremantle, a fun, creative space for makers, and meet your own teacher and experienced jeweller. Here, you’ll learn the basics of silversmithing, from shaping and filing to soldering and polishing. The process is hands-on and surprisingly empowering; there’s something deeply satisfying about working with a material as timeless as silver and transforming it into a wearable piece of art.
Why you’ll love it…
This is an especially memorable experience if you’re looking for a meaningful gift. You could design a ring for a loved one or attend the class together and create rings for each other. Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, or simply because you want to try something new, this workshop is one of those activities you’ll talk about long after it’s over.
4. Play with textured art
Art isn’t just about what you see, it’s also about what you feel. That’s what makes Vanessa Wong’s textured art workshop such a refreshing way to spend a few hours. Vanessa invites you into her home, where you can settle in for a cup of tea and learn all about textured art. Instead of traditional brushstrokes, you’ll experiment with layering, sculpting, and adding dimension to your canvas. The result is a tactile, modern artwork that feels dynamic and alive.
This class is fantastic for beginners because there are no rigid rules. You’re encouraged to play with texture, colour and form until your piece feels right. Some people lean toward soft, calming palettes, while others embrace bold tones and striking contrasts. Either way, you’ll end up with a finished canvas that not only looks beautiful but also feels like a reflection of your personality.
Why you’ll love it…
Textured art is a great activity to do if you’re craving a mindful break. The repetitive motions of spreading, layering and blending are soothing, and the creative freedom makes the whole process incredibly satisfying. Whether you hang your artwork in your living room or gift it to someone special, it’s sure to be a conversation starter.
5. Make a fake cake jewellery box
For something playful and completely unexpected, try a fake cake jewellery box workshop at Colour Co in West Perth. Colour Co’s aesthetic is all bright colours (think pop pink) and trendy crafts that are perfect to do for your next special occasion!
In this playful workshop, you’ll use materials that mimic frosted icing and sweet decorations to design a jewellery box that looks like a delicious slice of cake. Feel free to let your imagination run wild—whether you lean into pastel tones and delicate piping for a vintage look or bold colours and quirky designs for something that really pops. The result is a jewellery box that’s practical, personal, and guaranteed to make you smile every time you see it.
Why you’ll love it…
This is the kind of activity that works perfectly for a group outing. Bring a few friends and you’ll find yourselves laughing, experimenting and probably comparing whose ‘cake’ looks the tastiest. It’s a refreshing reminder that creativity doesn’t always have to be serious—it can simply be fun.
Next month in Perth is the perfect time to shake up your routine with a creative experience that inspires you, whether that’s the calm of pottery, the beauty of pressed flowers or the charm of crafting a silver ring from scratch. Pick the class that excites you most and dive in for a fun, creative adventure. We can’t wait to hear what you create!
