About Canvas and Cork
Canvas and Cork is an art and craft studio on Bell Street in Torquay that runs guided painting classes for adults and kids. Adult classes follow a paint and sip format, with an artist taking the group through a chosen artwork one stage at a time. Complete beginners leave with a finished canvas they will be happy to hang at home, and the canvases, paints, brushes and aprons are all supplied. The studio is BYO for both food and drink. Groups pack wine, bubbles and a cheese platter, or order a meal in during the class, and the team sets out ice, wine buckets and glasses. Most adult classes run for two to three hours depending on the painting, with themes ranging from coastal scenes and sunflowers to portraits of the family dog. Private events take over the space for groups of roughly eight to 24 people. The studio hosts hens parties, baby showers, adult and kids birthdays, Christmas parties and workplace team building, with a range of artworks to pick from and custom themes on request. Kids' classes suit all ages, and parents of children under eight are asked to stay on site.
