4. Gift your best friends a fun paint and sip session
Price: $75
A blank canvas is like an open invitation to let your creativity run wild, which is what makes painting such an amazing and enjoyable activity that anyone can join. With Sydney Creative’s group painting classes, you and your friends can unlock your inner artist in a relaxed, fun-filled atmosphere.
In this class, your loved one will learn the endless possibilities of textured art. It’s exactly like painting but instead of a paintbrush, they’ll be using a palette knife! This tool helps them create depth and texture in their artwork and allows them to have so much fun with what designs they can come up with. Under the guidance of experienced local artists, even those who claim they can't draw a stick figure will soon find themselves lost in the magic of their creative process.
One of the best parts about these paint and sip classes is that no prior experience is necessary. Everyone's artistic journey begins somewhere after all! At less than $100 per person, it’s an affordable way to have some fun while also creating something beautiful that you can proudly display at home.
5. Pour and mix resin art to make custom homewares
Price: $99
If you have a loved one always on the hunt for new decor, help them make it themselves instead! Resin art is a unique form of creativity that involves pouring and mixing resin to create stunning pieces of homeware, jewellery or even wall art. At Studio Inner West in Leichhardt, total beginners can join resin art workshops led by experts, who will guide your giftee step-by-step through the process, from choosing their colours and design to moving and blending the colours together. For under $100, they’ll have everything they need for a fantastic hands-on experience, including all materials and safety equipment.
Resin art is also all about experiencing the satisfying process involved in making them. Pouring and mixing resin can be incredibly therapeutic—there's something almost hypnotic about watching the swirls of colour come together into a unique design. This workshop also makes an ideal gift as it allows for personalisation. Imagine your loved one’s reaction when they unwrap a custom-made piece of homeware, created by none other than yourself!
What's more? ClassBento offers these workshops at various times throughout the week so you can easily find one that fits your schedule.
