Location: Chatswood

If you're looking for fun and simple Mother’s Day gifts in Sydney, consider treating Mum to a paint and sip class in Chatswood! This engaging experience allows you and Mum to unleash your creativity while enjoying a glass of wine or a refreshing beverage of your choice. The best part? Mums can pick their own artwork to paint, making it uniquely personal and fun!

Invite the whole family and let everyone gather together with paintbrushes in hand, surrounded by a vibrant atmosphere filled with colour and laughter. As you sip on your favorite drink, you can chat and reminisce while following the friendly instructor's guidance. Whether Mum wants to create a serene landscape, an abstract masterpiece, or even a whimsical portrait, the choice is hers, so she can express herself in the way that speaks to her heart.

Not only is a paint and sip class an excellent way to enjoy quality time together, but it also offers a true escape from the everyday hustle. It's the perfect opportunity for Mum to relax, unwind, and tap into her artistic side, all while making lovely memories with you. Plus, she leaves with a handmade piece of art that she can hang proudly in her home—a constant reminder of a special day spent together.
