I loved workingBianca was a generous, gifted and patient teacher. She pre empted a lot of my questions and took my limited experience into account as she talked through her process. I learned so much. I loved working side by side, playing and exploring while being shown the fundamentals of colour mixing as well as the properties of watercolours. Bianca was very generous with her take home pack and with her recommendations for brushes, paints and paper. I can't speak highly enough of her. I can't wait to practice at home and if time permits, I'd love to do another workshop. Thank you Bianca. Today was fantastic! + more

This was a great 3 hours spent trying lots of scents and mixing our own perfume. We had many many scents between two, so we didn’t have to wait for samples to be available in the class.

Teacher Molly was a great help explaining the structure of a perfume, and helping us to refine our trials to add complexity. We left with a bottle of our perfume with personalised label and a designer lid we chose from a selection. + more

Weekend Activities & Things To Do Adelaide
Best things to do in Adelaide this weekend
Whether you want to get crafty, cook up a storm, or simply enjoy a new experience, we’ve got the best things to do in Adelaide this weekend to keep you entertained.
Pottery classes
There’s something wildly satisfying about getting your hands into clay. Try a beginner pottery class and learn how to throw a bowl or cup on the wheel. It’s relaxed, tactile and surprisingly therapeutic—even if your first piece turns out a little wobbly (that’s the fun part of it!).
Paint and sip sessions
If you love the idea of painting but also enjoy a glass of wine, this one’s for you. Paint and sip classes are light-hearted and beginner-friendly, making them ideal for friends or lovebird duos. You’ll be guided step-by-step, so no experience is needed—just bring good vibes and your favourite drink.
Cocktail making workshops
Shake up your weekend plans with a hands-on cocktail class. Learn how to mix, stir and garnish like a pro while sipping on your creations. It’s social, interactive and way more fun than just ordering from a menu.
Cooking classes
Roll up your sleeves and learn how to make fresh pasta, dumplings or even Pad Thai from scratch. In a cooking class, you can pick up practical new skills in the kitchen and then enjoy the fruits of your labour afterwards. Date night, sorted.
Unique Adelaide activities for adults
Looking for something a little different? These adult-friendly experiences are perfect for date nights, birthdays or spontaneous catch-ups in 2026.
Join a Kokedama making class and bring a bit of nature into your home. Guided by a friendly teacher, you’ll learn how to create moss-covered plant balls that are perfect for decorating your living space or giving as a gift.
If you’re up for a creative adventure, try the art of glass fusing! In these workshops, you’ll layer and melt colourful pieces of glass to make your own platter, suncatcher or even jewellery. Perfect for beginners to join.
More in need of a mindful break? Pottery painting is a great choice if you want a creative experience without needing to make something from scratch. You can decorate and put your own funky spin on mugs, bowls or plates, leaving with a one-of-a-kind keepsake to cherish in your home.
Or learn how to steam milk properly and pour latte art yourself at a barista course near you. You’ll learn new skills, from tamping espresso to latte art, and be able to make your own cup of coffee to taste at the end. This might just inspire some amazing coffee at home!

Kids’ craft sessions

Beginner pottery for families
Pottery is a great first craft for kids to get started in. They can learn how to transform a simple lump of clay into their own handmade mug or bowl. How amazing is that?
