• 5/5 from Belinda Small, attended May 2026: Had such a lovely time at Paint for Fun today during their open studio session. I took my 3-year-old and 10-year-old and both absolutely loved the freedom to paint at their own pace, choosing whatever they wanted to create in their own way. The space was welcoming and full of inspiration, with stencils and ideas around the room, plus a friendly staff member nearby if we needed any help. It felt relaxed, creative and pressure-free — which made it enjoyable for both kids and adults. Such an affordable family activity and we loved leaving with canvases they were genuinely proud of. We’ll definitely be back.
• 4/5 from Kim Ho, attended Apr 2026: I went to celebrate my birthday and while it was very enjoyable and relaxing, I wished I knew that the $15 paid in advance for was an entry fee and that materials would need to be purchased. When I made the purchase, I was under the impression that $15 would cover at least one type of material (e.g. mini canvas). I did like the atmosphere and how calm the activity was.

• 5/5 from James Tohme, attended Feb 2024: I felt, given how great the session went, that the program itself was priced too low! It was amazing, the teachers there provided support for my friends and I in terms of where to find things such as the sink for replacing pain water, extra paint incase some ran out, and gave accurate pricing for the canvases given. Even though I myself am not and artistic person, they were very supportive of people with all levels of skill, and with that level of care for its customers, I was able to paint this image of my cat. It was wonderful painting there for Valentine's Day, not to mention how fun it was for my friends and I, I'd gladly do it again!
• 4/5 from Yvonne Harris, attended Feb 2024: My sister (from Perth) and I (from Brisbane) had a little reunion in Melbourne and attended an open workshop in the Port Melbourne studio. Debbie was very welcoming and the atmosphere was very relaxed and we had a wonderful day painting together. We did find the website blurb a bit confusing because we did expect a bit of help and guidance in the painting department as we are very much beginners. However Debbie was able to help a little here and there and lots of paint and materials were at our fingertips. Our paintings turned out beautifully! And as a bonus we found the experience very reasonably priced. We left extremely happy and really enjoyed our time there. ️ We even had a yummy espresso martini ️
• 5/5 from Phu Dao, attended Jan 2024: The teacher was very friendly and helpful despite our broken english, the best thing i like is how we get to do it at our own paces, and for fun.
