Our workshop experience gift cards are the gateway to artist-taught photography courses, screen printing workshops, hula hoop classes, watercolour illustration session and so much more. The biggest challenge you'll encounter is deciding which one to try!

If you want to give the gift of choice (or can't decide on what to gift), just get a gift card, and let them choose from our thousands of in-person and online classes, experiences or craft kits.
Your gift voucher will be sent to you immediately via email. You can print it out; or, we can deliver you a gift card in the mail, within 2 to 7 business days.
We know that it can be hard to please everyone. We're here to help - our gift cards are covered by a 100-day money-back guarantee.
You'll be supporting your local artists and promoting better mental wellbeing - workshops are a great way to improve mindfulness, and we donate to Dementia Australia with every booking.

Reviews from our gift recipients
Simon Gough • Apr 2021
We attended the kokedama class as a birthday present and it was a wonderful experience. The process was well-explained, along with a lot of advice on technique, care, and suggestions on how to decorate with the kokedama once we brought them home. We went home with four kokedama and an eagerness to learn more — would definitely recommend the class to others!

Make Your Own Silver Ring Workshop
The experience has been extremely lovely. This is our first time getting to know how rings are made and getting involved in hands on experience. Hee Cho was warm, friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend anyone who wants to make a special gift or create an unique memory with your cared one.
Shakira Branch • Mar 2021
Thank you so much for such a wonderful class. I purchased this for a graduation present for my friend & I to do together, and it was so nice to get creative and switch off for the night. And thank you to Liana for teaching us such great watercolour skills - you are an excellent teacher

Further comments on control of ISO and exposure settings together with commentary on still life, abstract and landscapes, (in addition to the street portraits and architecture) would enhance the presentation. A session outcome that has certainly changed my 'click and hope' photography to give me the awareness of a better 'click and presentation' After only 3 hrs attached photos from MEL with additional personal photographs from with learnings from this day + more

My husband and I enjoyed this soy candle making workshop at Handmaker’s Factory. This was our Christmas gift for each other. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. It’s good to be able to bring the finished candle projects home and light them up to enjoy it. Nicole is a very good teacher.

Hand Building Ceramics Class and Sangria
Fantastic class and teacher. This was a gift from my daughter in which we both attended. A truly fun and therapeutic atmosphere. Highly recommend

I did the class with my son as a gift for his birthday - he loves all things Italian. The gnocchi recipe was simple and delicious. Enjoyed the class which was practical and the presenter gave great tips and was very approachable too! Best of all the gnocchi was delicious - have recommended the class to all my friends and family - some even who live overseas given they can log in via Zoom!

We made soy scented candles and it was a very welcoming and informative private class! My first class with handmaker's factory and with classbento. It really was an amazing experience and ended up being a nice gift which mum appreciates :)

Myself and a friend took part in an abstract painting class on Saturday morning. It was a 30th birthday present to get creative and try something new. On arrival we felt very welcomed and entered a lovely calm and friendly environment. Our teacher was Andrea and she was fantastic! I am definitely not a painter and she made me feel confident in what I was doing and encouraged my ideas and helped me when I was a little stuck. There were so many different paints, colours and utensils to get different layers and texture on our canvas.

I would highly recommend ClassBento to get creative and to try something out of your comfort zone. I am excited to paint again. Thank you! + more

American Smoking BBQ Cooking Class
It was supposed to be an enjoyable birthday gift for my husband but didn't live up to the expectations and previous reviews. 25 people in the class and a function next to them so they could hardly hear anything. Plus there wasn't actual lessons to be learnt. Definitely not worth the price I guess. I feel bad for gifting him such a less than ordinary experience.

The teacher was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and thorough in explaining the process. They were also very present with everybody throughout the day. Very enjoyable workshop.

Hand Building with Clay Workshop
The class covered all the basic hand building techniques and Daisy was great at helping us utilise those techniques to realise our ideas to bring them into reality (of sorts!). While hours more practice would improve my end product - at least I now have Mother day's sorted gift wise!

Make Your Own Silver Ring Workshop
The teacher was excellent and very clear all the materials and tools were provided and I made a fabulous ring which was gift wrapped!

My workshop today was a Christmas gift from my husband and I really enjoyed the experience. The time was 10am to 1pm but I didn’t finish my piece until 2.30pm and was not rushed at all which I really appreciated. Merryl’s workspace, materials and facilities are wonderful I plan to attend again.

Essential Oil Blending and Perfume Workshop
This class was a birthday present for my daughter at her suggestion. Fabulous gift as it turns out! We had a tiny experience of essential oils but you don't need to as Cat gave an outline and demonstration of how to mix oils to give a pleasing outcome. We had plenty of time to experiment in the funky city fringe venue which was very adequate for the class. We had access to a vast array of oils to experiment with. It was a lot of fun.

Polymer Clay Workshop: Statement Earrings
This is the second polymere clay class I’ve done and each time you learn something new. Sheree is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, the classes have a great atmosphere and you get to take home some of your own jewellery as well as a little gift box.

Hand Building with Clay Workshop
Great class for beginners and I’d love to do another. Daisy explained everything up front, and patiently helped us with questions (or fixing any issues!) throughout. The tumbler as a gift was a lovely bonus. Looking forward to seeing how my pieces turn out once they’re glazed and fired.

I enjoyed learning from Hayley today & if it is possible I would love to participate in the plant ball session , if that is ok. I loved seeing what the other ladies had made with their terrariums & I have lots of ideas to follow up on. Like visiting an op shop to source vessels & to involve my grandson in helping to create terrariums for gift making, when we are able to leave the house post Covid Kind thanks for the bright spot of my last few weeks.

Loved it, easy to follow, although a bit tricky at points. I got it as a present for mothers day and in turn for my mum for her mothers day. My mum is now obsessed, haha
Whether you’re looking for presents for men, gifts for women, birthday experiences, or wedding anniversary gifts, there are Melbourne workshops for everyone. All of these unique experience gifts are led by passionate and trained artisan instructors in Melbourne, so your gift receiver will learn a lot while having a wonderful time.
There are tons of opportunities throughout the year to give gifts, but the process of finding the right one can be stressful. If you’re looking for gifts for couples, for instance, it can be hard to know if whatever item you buy will be enjoyed by both partners. Or, consider the struggle when buying Christmas presents - the mad rush to the shopping centre during the holiday season can mean that everyone walks away with the same or similar gifts. If you’re looking for something truly different and unique, the search for gifts can be overwhelming and time consuming. But with experience gifts, everyone in your life can have a gift that is new and exciting. You’re giving them the chance to make special memories and learn a new skill that they might never have tried - or even thought of!
The list of ClassBento workshops includes gift ideas for relaxation, creativity, culinary arts, and more. That means that you can find experience gift ideas for every occasion this year, be it a retirement celebration, hen’s party, birthday or anniversary. You might give your crafty friend the gift of an Introduction to Wheel Throwing Pottery Class in Kilsyth South. Or if you’re looking for gifts for couples, maybe you can sign them up for a Beginner’s Kintsugi Workshop in the Melbourne CBD. If you and your siblings are looking for the perfect gift ideas for mum, you might all sign up to take a Paint and Sip class with her in Abbotsford. And don’t think we forgot about presents for men. Who wouldn’t love a Night Photography Course in some of the most picturesque parts of Melbourne? There are hundreds of experience gift ideas in Melbourne to choose from.
There are plenty of things to love about ClassBento’s unique experience gifts in Melbourne. All of the classes are customisable, so that you can make sure that a class is exactly what your gift recipient would love. The class schedules offer plenty of different options for even your busiest loved ones. And, you can even sign your special person up for private classes or arrange for mobile classes to take place at home. Once you sign up your friend, family member or partner for a class, all they have to do is show up and enjoy. All materials are provided and no prior skills are necessary for most workshops. And if you want them to choose the class themself, you can give a gift card with a dollar amount. They’ll be amazed at all the wonderful workshops in Melbourne they can attend.
These experience gifts are bound to be remembered long after that special anniversary or birthday or bridal shower. Because while a physical gift takes a few moments to open, what a person can learn in a creative workshop will stick with them for years to come.
