Enjoy a relaxing and creative night with Ladder Art Space's paint and sip classes in Melbourne! These paint and sip classes are simple and fun with no experience necessary and beginners encouraged.
You can join us for a night full of fun and enthusiasm along with great music while you gain artistic tuition from a professional artist. All painting materials are provided, such as a canvas, easel, paints, brushes and an apron. Bring your favourite nibbles and drinks; we provide all glassware and bottle openers for a wonderful evening.
During this class, you will be painting the vibrant pink cherry blossoms in Japan with a gorgeous backdrop of magnificent Mount Fuji. Even though travel is currently restricted, that doesn't mean you can't bring the beauty of Japan's spring season to your home with your own painting to be proud of!
At the end of the class, you will take home your own finished artwork on a 30×40 stretched canvas, to hang up at home or gift to a loved one.
The studio's door opens 15 minutes before and closes 15  minutes after the starting time. Arriving later would be considered a no-show-up!
If you would like to have more time for drinking and socializing, you are more than welcome to come earlier to view the exhibitions in our gallery spaces. Please find the information regarding our current exhibitions and the gallery's hours on our website.

Recent reviews of Paint and Sip Class: Cherry Blossoms

  • 5/5 from Alicia Rimad, attended Oct 2026: We had such a lovely time at this paint and sip, painting a cherry blossom tree with a mountain landscape! The design was generally easy to follow, and our instructor, Danny, was absolutely lovely and really helpful whenever we got stuck or needed a bit of guidance. One of my favourite parts was being able to add our own self-expression to the set design, making every painting unique and personal. There were plenty of brushes and ample paint available, and the overall vibe was fantastic, very relaxed, welcoming, and fun! My only small suggestion would be a little more drying time between stages, although my thicker layers did contribute to the drying time. Otherwise, I never felt rushed and really enjoyed the whole process. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, creative activity, whether you’re an experienced painter or a complete beginner!
  • 4/5 from Sherry Armstrong, attended Oct 2026: Teacher was great! She was helpful. Tips though is to add better value to the ticket price. Paint and sip but food & sip has to be brought as an extra.
  • 5/5 from Prathyusha A, attended Aug 2026: Leah was our instructor for the session and she had such an awesome energy! She went through everything thoroughly and patiently, making the whole experience enjoyable and easy to follow. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun and worthwhile experience!

  • 5/5 from Kerry Buchanan, attended Feb 2026: Our teacher Reese was lovely. She was easy to understand & happy to help & offer advice to our novice painting group.

  • 5/5 from Sue Sheather, attended Jan 2026: I booked a class for my family of five as part of their christmas present. We did the cherry blossoms class. Our teacher Sachi, was amazing and very helpful. It was so much fun and we came away with artwork that we never thought we could create. I would highly recommend this class for a fun creative experience or for anyone wanting to start to learn to paint. I would also highly recommend Sachi (sorry if I have spelt this wrong). She was very talented and encouraging and gave very good tips on how to create our artwork. We are already discussing which class we are doing next.
  • 5/5 from Anna Le, attended Dec 2025: Teacher was very helpful. We painted the mountains and flower blossoms.
  • 4/5 from Andrew McGrail, attended Oct 2025: Fun class. Room layout was tight which limited direct teacher interaction.
  • 5/5 from Samantha Sze, attended Aug 2025: The instructor was a great host and the painting was just right for a 2.5 hour session. It was detailed enough to keep it interesting, but not so tricky that it felt stressful. A great mix of creativity, conversation, and a glass of wine. Definitely a night to remember!
  • 4/5 from Julia Koutras, attended Jun 2025: Jack was a very good teacher, he made the class fun and the environment was very relaxing and therapeutic! It was a great experience

  • 5/5 from Derek Villaceran, attended Apr 2025: This class was so fun, and chill! Definitely recommend doing a small private class with close friends!

Overall, thank you for helping us get over our Year 12 art class trauma

I’m so glad I went and would happily take another class anytime.
  • 5/5 from Kathryn Kube, attended Dec 2023: Took my mum and sister in law to this and it was a great night out. The teacher was encouraging but also helped us to do it the best we could. We were shown each step when we were ready for it and could ask any questions. Everything was provided and it ran on time.
  • 5/5 from Tina Moorthy, attended Nov 2023: This was such an enjoyable painting class. Jack the teacher demonstrated us each step of how to paint on his canvas and we followed along. I never thought my painting will come out as good as it did. Thanks to Jack's expert tips and tricks and individual help to each student. I have now learnt some skills which I will use to do paintings. The painting looks very intricate but with such easy to follow along instructions you can't go wrong. I would highly recommend this painting class because it is a calming and mindfulness process.

  • 3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Aug 2023: It was great to start and we had a lovely teacher but it just wasn’t paced very well. First 2 hours was very drawn out and we had way too much time then the last 30 mins (most important part) was very much rushed through and left a few of us not super happy with the end product
