Have you ever wanted to skateboard, but didn’t know where to start? Felt unsure about hitting your local skate park alone? Don’t want to buy a deck just to try your hand (well, foot) at skating? No experience? No worries! This is the class for you!

Led by Jayden Sheridan of Gnarly Neighbours, this beginner-specific class is all about getting comfortable on a skateboard in a space that is safe, private, and supportive for women and gender-nonconforming folks.

We’ll cover the basics: pushing, turning, and stopping, so you can build confidence, get comfy on your board, and have fun without worrying about stacks or judgement. It’s all happening indoors, so we are on rain, hail, or shine, and we’ve got decks for you to use, so just bring yourself and an open mind!

Whether you’re here to conquer a lifelong fear or just keen to try something new, you’ll be learning alongside a group that’s got your back. Come connect, meet like-minded folks, start a crew, and hit the X-Games, or simply discover the freedom of skating.

No pressure, no judgement, just vibes.

Please note: This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class

What you'll get

– Basic skateboarding skills and the confidence needed to keep pushing.

What to bring

– Just yourself!

Work-Shop is a creative concept that will broaden your horizons and help you unleash your inner awesome. We provide affordable short courses in life skills and alternative art. We’ve teamed up with Australia’s brightest creative minds to share their knowledge and help teach you a new skill. From 3D printing and stencil art through to music and gardening – life skills and personal development through to cooking doughnuts and mushroom foraging, we offer a broad range of fun and creative short courses to suit our time poor lives. We will inspire you to pick up that pen, paintbrush, hammer or sewing machine and flick the switch that will kickstart a whole new way of life.
Community values lie at the heart of our project. We collaborate with local artists and industry experts to teach classes and utilise local suppliers for any materials needed. We also provide a creative environment for emerging artists to produce and sell work, and meet like minded individuals. Work-Shop will be a space for everyone, with a rotating schedule of art shows, information nights on local issues and a whole range of events and community initiatives.
