Super affordable prices for musicians who don't have their own set up yet or are looking to record something at a higher level of quality.

I became interested in Little Picassos after receiving a greeting card from a friend that had been…read moremade by her daughter. Little Picassos on King William road at Hyde Park conduct art classes for children who either fancy themselves as budding artistes or who just want to express themselves creatively through art. Classes are held both during the year as per the school term calendar and during school holidays. The kids are divided into two age groups from two and half to five for the little ones and then there's the school age kids from four and a half to fifteen. Classes for the bigger kids are held after school hours and on weekend. The kids I've spoken to love the experience but I have to say their classes aren't cheap. You can even hold your child's next birthday party at Little Picassos for kids aged 3 and up. Parties go for 2 hours and you can organise catering or the Little Picassos guys can do it all for you. All the kids will go home with their own creation, made during the party.

The Plaster Fun House on Unley Road possess a large chunk of my childhood (same to the nearby Fairy…read moreShop) and although they have moved premises, I spent many a friend's birthday sitting on the little plastic chairs and trying to emulate the display pieces of my chosen plaster mould. Oddly enough, I found myself back here as an adult, sitting on the same little chairs sipping on a juice box and covering myself in paint and found the experience just as fantastic as it was when I was smaller. For $10 you can pick one of the basic moulds to paint AND get a packet of twisties and a juice box. Amazing really. The Plaster Fun House was an amazing experience and allowed my friend and I to wile away an hour or to whilst singing along to the Peter Coombe pumping from the stereo. The kids and parents sitting around my friend and I, appeared to seriously enjoy their time. Kids took a lot of time seriously pondering their choice and then spent a long time in silence carefully painting away and thinking of the most unusual colour combinations possible. The Plaster Fun House is well worth the stop on Unley Road, no matter your age, bonus points for the Peter Coombe.

I don't care who you are, this is an awesome place to go…read more SUPPOSED to be for kids, but me and my friend see it as our guilty pleasure as we sit there on the small tables painstakingly painting small plaster models whilst having our adult conversations and PAINTING THEM BETTER THAN ANY STUPID KIDS IN THE SHOP. Because we're adults. Add some glitter? sure! add some stupid glasses and a fuzzy haired hat? Why not?! Get a softdrink and a packet of chips whilst you talk. Affordable and fun, great for kids and no one will tell if you shed your accountant exterior for some naieve painting fun.
