Easy to pick up, and hard to put down, the humble ukulele is the perfect instrument for those wanting to up their musical game. With a few simple chords, you can play along to thousands of tunes and jam along with other musos. The world is your musical oyster.

This class has one thing in mind -  getting you playing as quickly as possible while covering all good practises to let you develop into a player for the rest of your days. The class starts right at the basics and quickly develops. Positions and holding, strums, melody and chord shapes are covered as they develop into simple songs, taking a detour into the chord theory and quite a few laughs.
We'll cover basic strum patterns, chord structure and swing (all easier than you think with some proper guidance) and we’ll have you playing a sweet song in no time.
Come for the music class, stay for the dad jokes. Tom The Pom is our resident musical expert, with a side of stand up comedian so get ready for a fun-filled night learning the mightiest little instrument - the ukulele!
Please note: This class requires at least eight 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.

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.
