Hey there, art enthusiasts! Paint for Fun in Melbourne’s Open Studio just levelled up! If you’ve ever dreamed of squishing clay between your fingers or watching watercolours dance across the paper, your moment has arrived. We’re not just about acrylics anymore—now you can sculpt, swirl, and splash your way through a whole new world of art. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just looking to try something new, our studio is the perfect place to let your imagination run wild.
New Ways to Create: Try Clay and Watercolour!
The Open Studio has long been a favourite for relaxed art classes, offering freedom to explore your creativity without pressure. Now, it’s even more versatile.
Watercolour Painting:
Fluid and expressive, watercolours let you experiment with blending, layering, and spontaneous colour play. With access to our watercolour classes, you can craft delicate florals, moody abstracts, or dreamy landscapes. There’s no wrong way to begin—just start painting and see where it takes you.
Our watercolour workshop options are designed to be beginner-friendly, making it easy to enjoy without prior experience.
Clay Sculpting:
Prefer something more tactile? Sink your hands into soft, moldable clay and bring your imagination to life. From quirky characters to elegant vases, this medium encourages creative freedom with every squeeze and shape.
It’s a refreshing addition to our adult art classes, and a great way to relax while creating something truly unique.
These activities are available for just $8–$9 on top of the $12 Open Studio entry fee, giving you endless creative opportunities for under $20.
Why People Love Open Studio
Unlike traditional painting classes, our Open Studio sessions are self-guided, social, and designed for fun. It’s more than just a creative space—it’s your chance to unwind and express without the pressure of performance.
Here’s why people are loving it:
Total Creative Freedom: Work on whatever inspires you, at your own pace.
All Ages Welcome: It’s perfect for adults, teens, and kids alike—bring the whole crew!
Try Something New: Never used clay or watercolours before? No problem. This is your chance to experiment and play.
Support on Standby: Need help or a little inspo? Our friendly team is around to guide you if needed—no hovering, just helpfulness.
Let’s Get Creative!
Looking for a casual, no-judgment alternative to a formal painting workshop? Or maybe you’ve tried a paint and sip night and want more freedom? This is your space to play.
Even better, you can explore themes similar to our acrylic painting classes while diving into new textures and forms through clay or watercolour. For those starting out, our Open Studio also doubles as one of the most enjoyable beginner painting classes around.
