A proper old school artists studio replete with wooden floorboards, strange anatomical plaster casts and a full size skeleton, paintings by former students and luminaries decorating the walls, and all kinds of easels and oils and quit, intense art students going about their biz-biz with bit lips and furrowed brows. And a nude model relaxing on the floor with a coat over her, awaiting the next live drawing session. #LEGIT

Art school in Leichardt is great for children, adults or even corporate bonding events such as…read morethemed christmas parties, or workshops to facilitate creative learning and teamwork. Courses are run throughout the school term as well as weekend workshops. They offers courses in different medium from oils to water-colours, and frequently run art competitions. The teachers are very experienced and thoughtful, so if you're indecisive on what to do, or how to do it, just ask. This makes for a very casual and relaxed atmosphere. There is a kitchen where you can prepare your own lunch during your lessons. They also run exhibitions there, so if you are an artist wanting space for an exhibition you can talk to Art Est for prices and deals. See their website for details on their classes for the upcoming term, and to see whether they have any exhibitions that could inspire your creativity.

Thank you Yelp for always providing fun activities for your Yelp Elite Crew!!…read more When I left Chicago about 2 years ago paint and wine was a very on trend activity to do amongst groups of females. Whether for a hens night, birthday, engagement or excuse to get pissed and paint it was popular. Lo and behold- the think tanks behind cork and chroma are..... Drum roll please.... From Chicago. Having left for greener pastures they set up their first studio in Brisbane and after gaining momentum have opened up in Surry Hills in I must say a beautiful location. I am a toddler painter but after fantastic instruction on the type of brush, stroke, angle, colour of paint and more I left with a full on masterpiece to hang above the fireplace!!! Great way to socialise, listen to music, drink, eat and tap into that inner artist in all of us- Cork and Chroma is where you need to have your next shindig!!!

Your wine might very well get mixed up with other people's wine, so treat it like a BBQ. The sink to wash your paint brushes is an experience in itself - imported the sink and gold pedal faucet from Chicago, or something. Would be cool if you got to see what painting you were going to do in advance so you could sign up for the theme that interests you most.
