School Holiday Water Marbling Workshop

Enjoy mesmerising fun for kids!



4 to 18 years     1.5 hours

Class size 1 to 15 (public classes), 6 to 20
  $75 (Afterpay available)

In Aetheria Studio has a water marbling experience specifically for all primary and high school aged kids to enjoy on their holiday break!
After a quick introduction to how to approach the marbling bath, kids will have free reign to play and explore how the inks morph and create new and exciting patterns. They will become mesmerised!
Then, they are invited to draw on the surface of the water to move the ink into their own desired patterns. This process is quite therapeutic, where this class is evenly as much about getting lost in the process as it is about the final product.
Kids will transfer the art onto paper, that can be turned into cards, framed or used in many other creative projects!
The class base rate is for paper only. If you would like to add fabric or a silk scarf, they can be added on in the add on's section.
This fabric piece has many end uses, and In Aetheria studio loves to spark imaginations on what they could be! Some examples for this class would be a bandana, a neck scarf, hanging art, a pillowcase.. the list goes on!
The paper needs several hours to dry properly, so you are welcome to come back another day to pickup the art, or pay for postage. (You are welcome to decide on the day)
There are aprons available to wear in the studio, and you are welcome to bring your own.
Note- the edges of the marbled fabric are left raw to be versatile for end uses. If you would like the edges finished (folded hem) this is an optional add on
There are other optional add ons available as add on’s in the studio that are ever evolving - such as tshirts, hats, plant pots etc.
Ps.
Children are also welcome in the open classes if you would like to do the class together!

We’ll definitely return for another class and recommend it to everyone.

  • 5/5 from Chelsea Dennis, attended Apr 2026: Was so good with ndis student very calming and understanding
  • 5/5 from Paulene Gibson, attended Jan 2026: Water Marbling with Amanda was absolutely wonderful! The class was easy to book, the location was easy to find with the instructions given and the communication was perfect - they even sent reminders before the class! The space was beautiful, the equipment was professional and made the class so easy! Amanda's instructions were easy to follow, comprehensive and complete! My son and I really enjoyed ourselves and were making prints right up to last minute! I purchased a shirt for my Son to print and the process was easy and made a lovely keepsake from our visit! I highly recommend this activity for the budding artists!
  • 5/5 from Zoe Jade Wilson, attended Jan 2026: Amanda was great, explaining the techniques to both me and my 11 year old. A good, fun class for tweens.
  • 5/5 from Abraham Acevedo, attended Dec 2025: Great activity for the family. Creative and soothing. Amanda is a great instructor, patient and engaging
  • 5/5 from Katherine Legudi, attended Dec 2025: Amanda was a great teacher. I loved that the art was free form. You didn't know how it was going to look until finished.
  • 5/5 from Kayleen Thoren, attended Sep 2025: We had the best time. We had two 14 year old boys who loved getting off their devices and getting creative. Amazing class. Highly recommend. Aetheria was so nice and guided the workshop so well.
  • 5/5 from Margaret Frost, attended Sep 2025: Libby aged nine was thrilled with her first experience of water marvelling due to the kind and very patient Amanda who imparted her artistic skills so effortlessly. A very positive and happy experience.
  • 5/5 from Valentina Smith, attended Jul 2025: What a wonderful experience! My two daughters (11 and 6) thoroughly enjoyed this class - so much so they didn’t want to leave and have been begging to do another session in the holidays! We collected their large pile of artworks today and they enthusiastically talked us through each one of them. It was a large class (12 kids) of mixed ages, so some of the younger kids, or those a little less confident had their parent stay and give them some extra help, I didn’t stay however and both my kids loved it!
  • 5/5 from Dianna Ayres, attended Jul 2025: The class was super fun. THe teacher was really friendly and helpful.We had a fantastic time. Thankyou
  • 5/5 from Pippa Farrow, attended Jul 2025: It was really good, Amanda made it easy to understand how to do water marbling. I love my pieces! Thank you
  • 3/5 from Meg Terrill, attended Jul 2025: The class seemed lots of fun however it seemed way too many kids for one teacher so not as appropriate for younger kids who need a bit more guidance and support. My younger daughter had definitely struggled to get the most out of the experience. Perhaps putting a higher minimum age on the class, or limiting numbers a bit more, or maybe letting parents know it’s ok to stay to support younger children (which I may have planned to do if I knew this was an option) might be good. My older daughter loved it but she’s very creative and independent. Thankyou for the colourful, exciting experience.
  • 5/5 from Kirsty Platon, attended Apr 2025: My child absolutely loved attending the school holiday water marbling workshop. Amanda is a great teacher, encouraging creativity and self expression through this art form. My child was enthralled by the whole mindfully creative process and proud of their creations. A perfect school holiday activity!
  • 5/5 from Xiu Luo, attended Apr 2025: The teacher is so kind and friendly. My child really enjoyed the class—creating water marbles helped him stay focused and calm throughout the entire session. We’ll definitely be coming back.
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Camm, attended Apr 2025: My kids loved this class! It was so fun and they loved exploring their creative sides. Amanda was a wonderful teacher, so patient and encouraging. It was a great school holiday activity. I highly recommend the class.

  • 5/5 from Angela Molina, attended Jul 2024: We enjoyed the water marbling class at Aetheria today. We've never had a similar art class but it opened my son's eyes to a new art technique that he loved. It was a great experience and something I'd recommend.
  • 5/5 from Sharon Rechtman, attended May 2024: Best Mothers day experience ever. Such a fun class. Amada was great. We all enjoyed it. Including our 15 year old who wasn't very excited before we started. It was such an uplifting and stimulating experience. We all created such amazing pieces. Highly recommend for anyone. Any age.
  • 5/5 from Serren Callister, attended Sep 2023: My girls loved this class and wish to do more! Amanda was warm and welcoming and a great teacher. The materials made are fantastic and beautiful. Highly recommend as an experience.
  • 5/5 from Nicole Lobartolo, attended Apr 2023: My 2 children (11 and 8) absolutely loved this workshop. It inspired their creativity and took them on a whirlwind adventure through swirling marbling colours. They loved their creations and so do I - a beautiful addition to the home (placemats) and wardrobe (beautiful hand marbled silk scarves). Thanks so much for providing such a beautiful experience for my children.

Amanda is the creatrix behind the ever-evolving world In Aetheria. An interactive offering showcasing her own unique spin on the art of water marbling finessed over years of experimentation. This is paired with her study of fashion design, being an alumnus of Bachelor of Fashion Design (honours) RMIT. Thus, at this stage, her products are being worked predominantly into clothing.
However, the only limit is one's imagination! She is flowing with ideas on how the marbling may be worked into a plethora of product /interior design and art pieces.
Thus, opening up her studio was the obvious direction! To be able to share this art with others, offer the nuanced way in which she applies it to fabrications, and inspire attendees of her workshop to develop their creations into their own unique outcomes.
