About Brush & Bubbles
Brush & Bubbles is an art studio with its own bar on James Street in Geelong. Its classes follow the paint and sip format: an instructor demonstrates the artwork one step at a time while guests copy along at their own easel. No painting background is needed, and the classes are pitched so beginners and practised artists both enjoy them. Each guest gets a canvas, easel, paints, brushes, a palette and an apron, and there is music playing throughout. Everyone leaves with their own finished painting. The studio holds a liquor licence, so drinks such as bubbles, wine and beer are bought at the bar rather than brought in. Food is not sold on site, but guests may bring their own nibbles or a platter. For private events, the team can pass on details of the caterers it works with. Private events suit hens parties, birthdays and corporate or team building groups. For a hens day with a bit more cheek, the studio can arrange a nude life drawing session with a male model. Groups that would rather stay put can have the instructor bring the class to an office, home, restaurant, winery or function centre. The light-filled space can also be hired on its own for exhibitions, product launches and celebrations. Private bookings are priced on request, and tickets are not refundable once bought.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need to be good at painting to join a class?
No. The classes are designed for complete beginners as well as people who already paint, and the instructor walks the group through each stage of the artwork so everyone finishes a canvas.
Can we bring our own wine or bubbles?
No. The studio's liquor licence does not allow BYO alcohol, so drinks are bought from the studio bar during the class. Guests are welcome to bring their own nibbles or a platter.
What is included in a Brush & Bubbles class?
Each guest has a canvas, easel, paints, brushes, pencils, a palette and an apron, plus music and an instructor. Drinks are paid for separately at the bar.
Can Brush & Bubbles host a hens party?
Yes. Hens groups can book a private painting session at the studio, and there is also the option of a nude life drawing class with a male model for the bride-to-be and her friends.
Can the class come to our office or another venue?
Yes. As well as hosting groups at the James Street studio, the team runs mobile classes at workplaces, homes, restaurants, wineries and function centres, tailored to the event.

A great experience in a very welcoming environment. No pressure to do anything right or wrong, just good fun. Jack was brilliant as our instructor, and Alex behind the bar is legend.
