Join the Paint & Tea watercolour workshop, featuring a majestic tiger artwork by popular request. This artwork has been thoughtfully designed for beginners, with a hand-sketched outline so you can focus on learning, relaxing and enjoying the process.
Hosted at the beautiful Zensation Teahouse in Waterloo, this two-hour workshop invites you to slow down and immerse yourself in the gentle rhythm of watercolour painting. You’ll be guided step by step through essential techniques such as colour mixing, brush control and layering, all while sipping freshly brewed teas in the serene ambience of the teahouse.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of how watercolour works, learning approachable techniques that build confidence and allow your painting to come together naturally. Premium materials are provided, so you can fully enjoy the experience without needing to bring anything along.
This workshop is designed especially for beginners, so no prior painting experience is needed. The atmosphere is supportive, relaxed and pressure-free — a space to unwind, explore your creativity and enjoy a mindful afternoon.
By the end of the session, you’ll leave with your own Tiger watercolour artwork, along with a renewed sense of calm, creativity and inspiration. Join us for a tranquil Sydney experience of painting, tea and quiet celebration.

I grew up surrounded by making. My dad’s upholstery workshop was my first studio, where I’d spend hours painting, sewing with fabric scraps, and experimenting with whatever I could get my hands on. That early love of play and creativity has stayed with me ever since.
Over the years, I’ve explored many different art forms, from painting and sewing to design and craft, and I’m still inspired by the magic of trying something new. Creativity has a way of teaching us to let go, trust the process, and find joy in the unexpected.
That’s the experience I love to share in my workshops. Whether you’re picking up a brush, learning a new craft, or simply curious to explore your creative side, you don’t need any experience, just a willingness to play. I create a warm, welcoming, judgment-free space where you can relax, connect, and surprise yourself with what you’re able to make.
One of my favourite things is seeing people light up when they realise they are creative, especially those who’ve always doubted themselves. That spark of confidence is why I do what I do.
I bring a background in visual arts, animation, and teaching, but what matters most to me is creating meaningful, joyful experiences where you feel supported and inspired.
If you’re feeling the pull to try something new or return to something you’ve always loved, I’d be honoured to have you in one of my workshops. Let’s make, laugh, and create something beautiful together.
