Seats and Eats
Pick your seats and grab your BYO drinks and snacks, ready for the session. Best to start snacking before you get clay on your hands!
Get Inspired with Ideas
Everyone can make something different! You can make a mug or bowl, torso, animals (like a highland Yak). We'll help you with inspiration if needed.
Introduction to Clay Chat
We will go through the process of turning pottery into ceramics. Along with hand building techniques required to make your piece a success.
Make Your Piece
Get started with clay! Its pretty exciting turning a block of clay into your creation. It can be challenging, but it's also rewarding.
Paint with Under Glaze Paint
We have previously never offered painting on un-kilned clay (it is a shortcut). We still have to kiln fire the piece twice. We will then coat it in Glaze for you, so we can put it through for a glazed finish for pickup in 4 weeks guaranteed.
In this delightful hand building workshop, you will immerse yourself in a hands-on experience learning how to make an animal mug and paint it to your heart's content! Explore your creativity as you shape your very own unique mug and bring it to life with vibrant paints.No need to worry if you're new to pottery or painting, as our warm and welcoming atmosphere is perfect for beginners. With guidance and support, you will feel confident expressing yourself through your artwork.During the workshop, you will work with high-quality clay and paints, getting a feel for the textures and colours that will make your mug truly special. Imagine the joy of sipping your favourite brew from a mug you've crafted yourself! Take home not just a beautiful mug, but also the pride of creating something wonderful.Moving UpdateUptown Queen Street is under going a full renovation.

I'm a Brisbane-based artist, and I've been painting and drawing since my early childhood days. I was fortunate to receive a scholarship from the Queensland Art Gallery, which gave me ample opportunity to pursue my passion and hone my skills.I'm very much inspired by the beauty and diversity of Australia. Many of my paintings focus on landscapes, surrealism, animals, and people. North Queensland is a particular favorite, and you'll see the influence of coral seas and mountain landscapes throughout my artwork. I have a post-impressionist style through which I try to capture the wonder of the world around us.I specialize in pastel on card and acrylic on canvas, though I'm also experimenting with abstract and airbrush.I've been fortunate enough to display my work in many art exhibitions and have been the recipient of many prizes and awards.I offer Paint and Sip sessions along with Clay and Sip sessions, both at discounted rates for ClassBento Patrons. I believe in bringing these experiences to the customer at the very best competitive price possible, the real Australian Way. We have the largest range of paintings available with over 80 paintings on the gallery page of Wesley Taylor Art Studios, with the painting for each week found on the web page.We hope you enjoy these sessions for a fun experience. The paintings are creative for maximum impact of colors, while keeping in mind first-time painting experiences. Those with a little more practice will create some amazing pieces.Let us plan your special events!“Everyone has an artistic flair and simply needs to be pointed in the right direction."The Wesley Taylor Art Studios Mission initially set out to create workshops at half the cost of other workshops for customers to be able to enjoy the experience of creating a piece of artwork. This endeavor was to create the foundation of employing artists with a like-minded sense of assisting customers to enjoy this time out while creating new art experiences. The goals of value for money for customers and employment for artists to run these fun activities that may mark a milestone, a birthday, a hen's party, a social activity, a first date, or company team-building events to build and strengthen relationships with a common bond of creating something new. Each dandelion in the field represents a thousand possibilities waiting to be released into the wind. Just relax and be free with the wind.
