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.

I've been to a few of Caity's silver ring workshops, and recently attended her gemstone setting workshop,

every time I've gone in I've been surprised to learn new techniques and tools to use,

I really love that she embraces a more alternative style and encourages us to experiment with designs

Emma Luimes Dec 2023


This was a great class and Caity is a great teacher! We got lots of resources to use and I learnt a lot.

The class was very very very fun. It was a great atmosphere and the teacher was incredibly helpful. It was an awesome process to play around with the wax, and I love that we were given the opportunity to have fun and make mistakes.

Rebecca Winstone Nov 2023


Enjoyable afternoon. Time went quickly. Great teacher. Inspiring and fun. I would definitely recommend doing

John Forster Nov 2023


Daisy was an excellent teacher, very responsive to the group and engaging.
The environment was a good space for the workshop and everything you needed for modern day Kintsugi was supplied. Great fun and good value.
Thanks to the team and especially Helena for the booking support!
warm regards
John

Really fun and wholesome activity. Relaxed vibes in studio, and adorable dog was a bonus

Erica Lacorcia Nov 2023


The venue was great and I loved the dog as an added feature!
Helena was very welcoming and the teacher Daisy was so helpful, happy and friendly as well as very competent and confident in explaining the process.
It was interesting to see how the other participants managed their pieces as well.
The process and the outcomes are fascinating!

Nettie Handley Nov 2023


Thank you for such a well prepared, fully thought through workshop.
Helena was great at explaining all the basics, and expertly led us through to create our own fully usable planter box in the 3 hours allocated!
I look forward to joining other workshops in the future.

Ro Lynagh Nov 2023


Helena was an excellent teacher giving us the confidence to take on our diy projects. Loved being able to show up with just myself and being provided with all the tools and materials. Finally I have a license to drill!

Ryan Hodgman Nov 2023


Helena was super friendly and welcoming, and the venue was airy and lush with greenery that made the space feel fun to be in. The materials were quality and straightforward to use, and everyone present had a lot of fun.

The class was very expensive, seemingly 4-5x moreso than the (guessed) material cost. It's not clear that this was good value for money, though we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Looking forward to returning for another class sometime!

Liora Jacoby Nov 2023


I had a lovely time learning techniques to sketch a portrait. Arabella our teacher was lovely and under her guidance we all came back with beautiful portraits.

Gemma Burnside Nov 2023


Great class - very informative! Have now confidently made a few sourdough loaves that have turned out great. The one I made in class I kind of messed up but with the learnings from class and the e-book my second and third loaves I have made solo have been great. Would highly recommend.

Jessica Solla Nov 2023


Super friendly and available but not overbearing teacher. Flexible class allowed us to make extra rings where time permitted (cost of silver was understandably extra). Plus the lollipops were a nice touch. Would recommend and go back!

Emily Penn-Tonkin Nov 2023


Great workshop!
The teacher, Jess is extremely informative and knowledgeable and explains the basics (and more) in a condensed timeframe. It was simplified in a way that is great for people starting out or wanting to get back into baking sourdough.
Would highly recommend this class.

Lily Zendel Nov 2023


Very informative session! The teacher knows what she is talking about.
We learned a lot about the process.
We got our own starter and basket with the mixture with us and we are going to bake it the next day.

Priscilla Teng Oct 2023


Our teacher was very friendly and encouraging, and answered all questions. The equipment was suitable for beginners and the cheat sheet was very handy. Overall an enjoyable class (I could have easily stayed longer) and a gentle introduction to watercolour for beginners.

Yvonne Anagnostidis Oct 2023


Teacher, Helena was friendly and greeted us on arrival. . The instructions was easy to understand. The venue was great and very spacious. Learnt alot about the various tools used. Thankyou.

Catherine John Oct 2023


Organised, encouraging , patient , good humoured and responsible teaching .
Instructions on safety precautions and step by step demonstrations of how to construct the planter box were clear and well delivered.

Jacqui Edser Oct 2023


Helena was amazing, offering to help with set up the moment we arrived and assisting in every way she could. Helena provided great instruction and was very kind with everyone's questions. Initially we all thought chocolate and lipstick made no sense but having now done it, it makes so much sense and the time flies! Great value for money having walked away with a snack and 10 lipsticks all in different colours after trading with everyone there. The Bride to Be was very happy with the surprise and feedback from guests has been very positive. venue is a great space, there are two flights of stairs on entry but overall clean and huge!

Anonymised ClassBento student Oct 2023


Helena is such an excellent educator: everything was clearly explained, included really important and practical information that might not otherwise be evident about doing things well and keeping safe - and also the kinds of things we might see out in the world that we should be wary of. I learnt loads and now feel slightly less petrified of using tools that can dismember me.

Marita Conheady-Barker Oct 2023


Our teacher was calm, efficient and a very good communicator. The venue was perfect for the class and everything was prepared so time was not wasted. I would recommend this class to anyone. Her equipment trolley showed her commitment and thought that she had put I to developing the class.

Jane Moroney Oct 2023


I had the best time at the Handy Woman class! Helena was full of helpful information & advice, and her instructions were clear, and easy to follow. I can’t wait to put my new skills in action!

Natalie Billias Oct 2023


What a fantastic class! Tina was very knowledgable, patient and kind. I would recommend this to anyone interested in learning how to make chocolate – it was delicious. Thank you for the lovely class Tina :)

Lucy Clark Oct 2023


This class was fantastic! Exactly what I hoped it would be. I’ve always considered myself “handy” (with very little to back this up) and it was great to get confident with some new tools and better on tools I thought I was across. I was nervous about going by myself, but it was the most welcoming wonderful environment. I couldn’t recommend this higher. More classes please! Thanks Helena, you’re the best.

Alex Stead Oct 2023


What a fabulous workshop. We did this nipple tassle making workshop for our friend hens and it was so much fun. Loved that we could bring all our own drinks and food (but Helena provided all glassware and tables). The workshop itself was super fun. Emma was a brilliant teacher and we can’t wait to wear our pasties

Naina Knoess Oct 2023


Absolutely fabulous- fun as well as informative. Great teacher with the expertise and sunny disposition as a bonus!

Judith Hoffmann Oct 2023


Tina was lovely and so knowledgeable. ❤️. Great idea to do with friends. Thanks so much, Tina!

Paige Robinson Oct 2023


Great class, easy to understand and follow the instructions from teacher. Workspace was very suitable.

Tzung Ding Oct 2023


Ivan was an engaging communicator and teacher. He answered questions thoughtfully and patiently. The content was just right with a good balance of knowledge and show and tell. Great venues. Great value for money. Highly recommended. Thanks Ivan.

Helena Trang Oct 2023


Highly recommend this course, it was very well structured and run course that had the right level of detail for a beginner. It had really useful information on what preventative maintenance can be done as well as what to look out for and be informed on when servicing cars. I would recommend to anyone who drives and/or owns a car.

Beydan Abdi Oct 2023


He answered all the questions and it was really engaging. You’ve got nothing to lose attending this workshop

A fantastic class run by Helena who shared her tips and tricks brought about by extensive experience working with the medium. It was great to get advice on best materials and tools to use if you were thinking about doing this at home and every hands on demo was clear and easy to follow. The space itself was great and welcoming and there were snacks and a tea/coffee station if you needed some extra energy while tufting. Helena also roamed around the room pretty regularly and was really great at troubleshooting! Also she was more than happy to help you out with achieving your chosen design and helping tuft/trim. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to start up tufting at home or even looking for a great one-off tufting experience!

Jason Lee Oct 2023


Ivan left me feeling a lot more confident maintaining my new and old car after the 4 hour session. He was very informative, shared plenty of tips, showed us the most important things to know and how to identify car maintenance parts!

Wished there were more courses in Melbourne that actually educated us like this!

Kate Burke Oct 2023


Ivan gave a great workshop on all working parts of a car, and the importance of preventative maintenance to keep cars running well and avoiding breakdowns. He was super engaging and the class was great value for money, would highly recommend for anyone who want's to know a bit more about how your car works and what your mechanic is doing each service!

Good venue in an active workshop. Very good teacher, very engaged with his subject. Not so much about how to fix small problems as be more conversant with your mechanic and understand the process better. Emphasis is on regular servicing and looking after your car properly. Learnt quite a few useful things that I'll be able to use in the future.

Karen Durso Oct 2023


Great knowledge and attention to detail. Would be great if a more advanced course was available.

Amanda Louey Oct 2023


Really great class. Ivan is knowledgeable and passionate. The class was great for people with no knowledge but would also be interesting for people with some interest in cars. Would highly recommend!

Christopher Oct 2023


Great way to spend an evening for anyone interested in sourdough, or even just baking in general! You get so much great information on the subject - including all the do's and don't's of sourdough - from a teacher who clearly has a depth of experience and knowledge in the area. But I also had such good fun just working alongside a group of like-minded baker's for a few hours.

Really looking forward to getting my first sourdough loaf, prepped and readied for baking during the class, into the oven in the morning!

Michael Ferris Oct 2023


Teacher was fun, patient and incredibly helpful.
The ring making itself was fantastic and I'd absolutely do it again!

Teacher was absolutely fabulous .She passed on information clearly and with a fabulous sense of humour - So all information was taken in. Anyone with an interest should attend this class they will not be disappointed.

Georgia Chrisanthou Oct 2023


This was a great introduction to Tarot Reading. The teacher was knowledgeable & personable, which made the class a relaxing experience in an easygoing environment. I would definitely recommend it as a starting point to the path of learning about Tarot cards and performing readings.

Carol Lima Oct 2023


Loved the class, the atmosphere, it was definitely worth the money.
The teacher was knowledgeable friendly and very approachable.

Andrea Young Oct 2023


Sheree was absolutely amazing. I can't wait to put my new skills to use

Sarah Wolfe Oct 2023


Caity is an excellent teacher - so generous in sharing her knowledge and experience and equally enthusiastic about the creations of the class. I learnt so much and feel very confident to be able to start my own jewellery making at home.

Helena the teacher was Amazing, very good at explaining and assisting, friendly and warm hearted. The location was awesome, and the experience was fun and engaging . A very relaxed environment to learn Totally loved my weekend of learning Tufting by Helena & sash the gorgeous dog, and meeting other lovely people.

The course was enjoyable and the teacher was good. Clear instructions. But too many people on the course so she was spread too thinly to provide adequate guidance and support. She also failed to email the instructions after the course, as she promised.

Helena is the sweetest teacher I've come across so far! She is very patient and goes through every step with care. I had a great time learning to make my own planter pot and was very inspired by the class. Big plus was to do it with the cutest pup in the studio!

Just a month I did a Kintsugi workshop in Albert Park and it was an excellent introduction to this unique craft. Unfortunately, I didn’t know that Modern Kintsugi is a lot more basic and does not require many skills.
The website doesn’t explain much about the difference between the two styles and I thought I would learn more, but in reality, I was presented with a very simple way to apply this craft. I left after the first 30 minutes after I realised, I had nothing to learn at this modern technic class.
It is only suitable for the first new students.

Rachael Roberts Sep 2023


Well paced class with clear step-by-step instructions. The teacher was friendly and talked us through different materials and techniques throughout the class. I decided to try my own design and sketch for the lino cut which worked out better than I anticipated!

Our teacher, Daisy, was excellent. The location was clean and well equipped, we learned a lot, and the materials provided were all useful.

Josephine Gagliardi Sep 2023


I absolutely loved my experience doing 'How to Handywoman' at the Work-Shop. Helena was an amazing teacher and I learnt so much. I went in a very green beginner but now feel more confident going into a hardware store and knowing what tools to get and how to use them. The venue was lovely too and easy to get to and the small class size was just right.

Josephine El Srouji Sep 2023

Clear and easy instructions about how to use the tools and great guidance through the process to finish the project!

Cynthia Boudeville Sep 2023


Excellent class. It was very interesting, well run and organised; instructions were provided clearly by the instructor and the length of time for the workshop was perfect- I would definitely recommend it!

Maryam Mostofi Sep 2023


Really enjoyed the 3 hour workshop with Helena! She explained every detail step by step, and was always there to help every individual!
The gust of honour, Mr.Doggo also checked in on our work and made the class even more fun

Woodworking class review by Maryam Mostofi - Melbourne

Katherine Hunt Sep 2023


Helena was a fantastic teacher. She went through the basics of measuring, using a jigsaw, a drill and even a hammer, with so many useful tips on tools that I thought I knew how to use!
This class has given me the confidence to do my own projects now.

I enjoyed the class, the teacher shared some easy to follow instructions, next time maybe we can use bigger mold and maybe double the recipe (for the price we paid for the class) so we can make more attractive better design for the soap

Elly Freer Sep 2023


I had a great time, found it very informative and fun and was a fun group of people :)

Claudia Soler Sep 2023


Loved the class! Most of us were designers so the class got more in depth about the techniques etc which was what I was interested in. However Gaston modifies the class to suit the needs of the group - so if there’s anything you are wanting to learn be sure to tell him. The class is focused on giving you the knowledge to go home and continue with your practice. Materials were provided and the space was beautiful. Thanks so much! Would be interested in further workshops!

Sign Painting Workshop review by Claudia Soler - Melbourne

Rebecca Stone Sep 2023


The class was super helpful for me as an aspiring sign writer. Gaston has a great way of teaching and is open to all questions :)

Dion Avro Sep 2023


Gaston was fun and very chrazimatick. I think maybe trye different brushes would o fbeen food

Olivia Flower Sep 2023


I was gifted this class for my birthday as I’ve already wanted to learn how to tuft but I didn’t want to spend the money on equipment and find I didn’t like it !
Helena was LOVELY and so generous with her knowledge and advice throughout the process - I appreciated her honesty when it came to getting into the craft (expenses/things to consider) and her obvious passion and excitement for the craft was contagious.
Incredible communication before and after the class, and I’m so excited to come back and try some other workshops at the venue !

This is the second time I've tried to learn about sourdough - and I am much more confident that I can manage after this class. Practical with straightforward advice - making it clear what is important. I've been able to keep my starter (Harry) alive and have made a few loaves that have gone down a treat. Thanks

Chris Capetanakis Sep 2023


Gaston is a great teacher, he is knowledgeable, skilled and patient. His passion is clear. The class is very satisfying creating something by hand is rewarding in a time when we spend so much time in front of screens.

Everything was provided and the time allowed was appropriate for the piece we created.
Definitely recommend!

Textiles class review by Suse Baker - Melbourne

Felicia Savvopoulos Sep 2023


Great class! Had waitlisted this class for ages and was ecstatic when it became available - was not disappointed at all.
Gaston was a great teacher - a fountain of sign painting knowledge, and super charismatic. All materials were provided by Gaston, and he advised us on next steps if keen on purchasing materials to pursue practice of sign painting in future.
The class was highly hands on, with intermittent demos on how to correct technique and for the teacher to answer our burning questions through the process. I left feeling equipped to explore sign painting in my own time, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you Gaston and Work-Shop!

Tim Boreham Sep 2023


Gaston was an amazing communicator and passionate teacher . Absolutely loved the class and can’t wait to start my sign painting journey

I’ve always wanted to learn sign painting techniques and it’s rare to find opportunities learn it in Sydney. Having Gaston fly from Melbourne is such a privilege! Not only is he deeply passionate about sign painting, he also has an excellent teaching style including giving every person plenty of one-on-one assistance. Gaston has so much depth and breadth of knowledge in this specialist skillset - it’s super unique. I learnt so much in one day that I feel confident trying more fonts on my own at home. I also made friends in the class (we’re going to practise together). The venue was lovely too - spacious, airy, with loads of free street parking. I hope there’s a continuers class sometime soon. Thanks to both Gaston & the venue for an awesome day! A super worthwhile experience. I will be bringing friends with me next time.

Tiziana Russo Sep 2023


Love the teaching, very knowledgeable great approach. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and I will master the basics and well go back to-do the master class Hopefully

Adam Cusick Sep 2023


Was very informative and great that we got the starter and banneton bowl to take home. It would have been good if the teacher brought in some bread she'd baked before the class so we could taste the final product. Also would have been good if we were given a recipe during the class so we could follow along with the process. Was finished in about 2 hours.

Venessa Fay Sep 2023


Wonderful experience! Bread is something I haven’t been able to master, and this course was full of valuable information and hands on experience to help me perfect sourdough. Having Jess there to show me where things needed tweaking was incredible and I feel much more confident now.

Had a fantastic time at the silver ring making class. Very inclusive and knowledgeable teacher, and the Workshop venue in Paddington is a great space for a creative morning. Would recommend.

Leah Sep 2023


The teacher was super friendly and the vibe of the entire workshop was really lovely and laidback. Really loved having the freedom to choose our own plants and decorative rocks etc. It was a simple, quick and easy workshop!

Succulent Terrarium Making Class review by Leah - Brisbane

Jenny Macd Sep 2023


A few points to note
- the teacher was approachable and generous with materials
- the venue was openly spaced and airy, however the steps were a little harder to navigate!
- the materials supplied were good, however we thought it was a succulent terrarium, which was the attraction initially, but we were supplied with ferns and climbers. They were lovely, just not what we had expected.
- the 1.5 hour time was p0lanty and we were not pushed. Most of us were finished in about 50 minutes.

Kat was a wealth of knowledge about incense making and good scent combinations. Our incense smells so good throughout the house :)
