Fun Textiles classes / courses in Brisbane

Fiber art has been around for thousands of years, and it was only in the last century or so that we all but lost our ability to sew, weave, stitch and crochet. Nowadays, many of us rely on store-bought clothing and fast fashion when it comes to filling our closet and achieving our interior design goals. But, when you start to introduce handmade items of fiber art into your personal style and decor, you’ll notice a drastic change for the better. With fibre arts, you can feel like your wardrobe and home are unique and personal, and you’ll love the feeling of pride you can take in knowing that you made the items that you love most.

Of course, it’s not so easy to simply pick up a fibre art skill, even with the many beginner sewing projects diy videos and how to stitch guides. Sometimes the push you need to actually get started is an in-person lesson. That’s where ClassBento’s list of the best textile classes in Brisbane comes in. You’ll learn from the best textile instructors in Brisbane who know how to encourage you to keep practice and troubleshoot any issues as they come up. You’ll gain all the confidence and inspiration you need to keep going from these fun Brisbane workshops.

Textiles classes can cover many different forms of fiber art, which is why you’ll be able to choose from a long list of class options. If you’re interested in learning how to macrame or do other interior design projects like how to weave a basket, there are plenty of hands on workshops for home decor. With plenty of sewing classes, you can stop searching for “sewing classes near me” and find group or individual sewing lessons in your neighbourhood. These classes are great for all skill levels, whether you’re looking for beginners sewing projects or even sewing classes for kids. There are also embroidery classes, macrame classes and workshops to learn how to weave on a loom. No matter what fiber art is most exciting to you, there are plenty of these fun Brisbane activities to try.

As we all become more drawn to sustainable fashion and handmade products, textile classes are only becoming more popular. These workshops are some of the best things to do in Brisbane for elegant bridal showers or birthday parties. They’re also a wonderful way to relax and disconnect from work after a long day. In fact, many companies are choosing to add these fun corporate team building activities to their workplace wellbeing programs as a way to encourage self care and prevent burnout. 

While you may walk away with a different finished project depending on which textile art class you sign up for, the warmth and inviting environment of these classes is always the same. Your passionate textile instructor is dedicated to making you feel welcome and will ensure that you understand the basics of your new hobby. No matter if you’re basket weaving or learning how to sew, you’ll walk away with a sense of pride and a spark of inspiration to keep exploring the world of fiber art!

Embroidery Class: Stitch and Bitch



We had a great night at the Stitch and Bitch session. There were 4 designs to choose from and we were given all of the equipment we needed. Our teacher was very thorough on explaining and demonstrating what we needed to do. She was extremely helpful as well with anything we needed in terms of further steps.

It was a great night out and excellent value for money!

Introduction to Punch Needle Embroidery



I found this class incredibly enjoyable. Receiving the kit in the mail was also very exciting - especially with all the little treats! Punch needling (is that the verb?) was a lovely craft to learn - it’s very satisfying to see results so quickly. Rebecca was a great teacher, so easy to understand and helpful. I look forward to doing more of her classes in the future.

This is my second class with Mari and I would recommend her highly to anyone who would like to learn traditional forms of stitching. She is very patient with her students and willing to have a good laugh whilst you stitch.

DIY Beeswax Wraps Workshop

A fabulous class with newly learnt skills. I feel confident going forward that I will be able to create these wraps for myself and my friends, and also feel great knowing I'm helping the environment. Kirsty is a friendly and informative teacher who got through all the nitty gritty without me feeling overwhelmed. In addition to the class Kirsty has provided me with additional information regarding future resources I may need.
