Swirl it. Dip it. Make it!
Step into the wonderfully hypnotic world of water marbling—where ink dances, colours pop, and no two creations are ever the same!
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to use inks and marbling baths to create stunning patterns on glass bottles, ceramics, fabric… and Christmas Baubles!
We’ll start with the basics, show you how to layer and swirl your inks, and then let the fun begin!
Play, experiment, and try your patterns on paper first (great for cards!) before moving on to your final pieces
In the Bottles & Ceramics class you'll choose from a range of - glassware & ceramics having the option of 1 of each -and create up to 4 marbled masterpieces
In the Christmas Baubles class you'll create 12 x baubles
It’s visually mesmerising and super Instagrammable—yes, your reels will thank you!
Drying times vary, so some pieces may need to be collected later. Fabric pieces need a rinse and iron to set the colours—leave it with us or take it home to finish.
Whether you're flying solo, bringing a mate, planning a quirky date day, arranging a Christmas get together, or celebrating a hen’s party—this colourful, calming, and slightly addictive art form is perfect for all.

  • 5/5 from Sara Sutton, attended Nov 2025: The Xmas bauble water marbling workshop was a lot of fun! The teacher explained things clearly and had testers for us so we weren't learning how to do the task with the baubles we get to take home. That really took some worry away. The vibe on the day was lovely; there were snacks and drinks to share and everyone in the class was friendly and supportive. I left thinking about which class I am going to book next!

  • 5/5 from Michaela Schuetz, attended Nov 2025: It was such a fun night. Rochelle explained the process in detail and we had plenty of time to experiment and be creative. I will definitely back for more...glassware, fabric or vases. There was plenty of paint and the quality of the 12 christmas baubles was great and all prep-work done for us. Time flew and we laughed and chatted throughout the evening.
  • 5/5 from Jo Quinlan, attended Nov 2025: Once again - another amazing class with the extremely talented Rochelle! Took a friend to do the Xmas baubles class as she loves Xmas and it's her birthday. Great way to pass a couple of hours and enjoy meeting new people - always have a good laugh and Rochelle puts on a lovely spread of snacks and drinks. Can't wait to see which class I'll be doing next. Awesome idea to buy a class for yourself or family/friends for Xmas present :)

Collective Obsessions is a creative studio and community space in Balcatta, Perth, designed for people who want to try new things, make cool stuff, and surprise themselves. We're also proud 3 x Time SBA Award winners!
What started as a love of getting hands-on with creative mediums has grown into a colourful, welcoming studio offering workshops, open studio sessions, memberships and private events. We work across a range of mediums including resin, alcohol inks, water marbling, acrylic pouring, textured art and so much more.
More than anything, Collective Obsessions is about people. Our workshops are filled with first-timers, returning guests, and our beautiful creative tribe who make the studio feel like home.
If you’ve ever said “I’m not creative”, you’re exactly who we’re for.
We’re on a mission to…
Make creativity feel accessible, fun and safe.
We believe creativity isn’t about talent or experience - it’s about giving yourself permission to play.
Our mission is to create a space where people can slow down, switch off their busy brains, connect with others, and feel proud of what they make.
Whether you’re joining us for a one-off workshop or becoming part of our creative tribe, we want you to leave feeling lighter than when you arrived.
Our top tips for beginners is…
Don’t overthink it - just start.
You don’t need any experience, skills or artistic background. We’ll teach you the techniques, guide you step-by-step, and then encourage you to make it your own. The best pieces often come from experimenting, happy accidents and trusting your instincts.
There is no “right way” to create here.
You’ll leave our workshop feeling…
Proud, relaxed and slightly obsessed.
Most people walk in feeling unsure and walk out buzzing - with something beautiful in their hands and a new appreciation for their own creativity. Many leave already planning what they want to try next.
Meet the Team:
Rochelle - Owner
Raised by a creative dad and a crafty mum, Rochelle has had art running through her veins from day one. From charcoal sketches and fashion design to photography, creativity has always been her language.
These days, Rochelle pours her energy into art, nature-inspired wood pieces, flow art, and guiding others on their creative journeys. Her passion is contagious, her encouragement endless, and her favourite moment is watching someone realise, “OMG… I made that!”
Fuelled by laughter, ocean swims, studio time, and anything chocolate, Rochelle is your biggest creative cheerleader.
Meet Mean Boss – aka Jamie
Co-Founder & Artist
Affectionately known as Mean Boss (don’t be fooled - he’s a big softie), Jamie is drawn to the quirky, the unexpected, and the beautifully imperfect.
With roots in photography and a deep respect for nature and traditional craftsmanship, Jamie’s creative journey led him into timber, then expanded into charcoal, resin, acrylics, ink, graphite, and beyond. Always experimenting, always pushing boundaries, and often breaking things along the way (the okay kind).
Back in the studio, Jamie brings relaxed vibes, big ideas, and a little mischief to everything he creates.
That’s our story and we THANK you for reading and taking an interest.
