Paint & Sip in Burleigh Heads

Everything to Know About Paint & Sip

All three Burleigh Heads studios let you bring your own drinks, but only one of them is mainly about a brush and canvas. Mesi Studio teaches textured art and oil pastels, The Craft Parlour offers a menu of crafts, and Dirty Hands Pottery Studio works in clay.

Your choice mostly depends on group size and whether people want to leave with their piece that day, because clay has to stay behind.

Comparing the three Burleigh studios:

Mesi Studio seats 20 comfortably and starts from $55 per person, with materials, aprons and set up covered on private events.
The Craft Parlour takes up to 35 from $65 per person, with a minimum of 10 guests that drops to 8 from Monday to Thursday.
Dirty Hands Pottery Studio takes up to 12 from $110 per person, covering clay, tools, glazing and kiln firing.
No experience is needed at any of them, as a facilitator, host or teacher leads the group.
Each studio is indoors, and guests keep what they make.

Paint is closest to the classic format at Mesi Studio, where guests layer paint and texture medium on a canvas.
Oil pastels are Mesi Studio's other workshop, focused on colour, blending and mark-making.
The Craft Parlour's group picks one craft: canvas painting, ceramics, flower crowns, beading, kokedama, candles or decoupage.
At Dirty Hands Pottery Studio, choose hand building or wheel throwing on the enquiry form.

Sorting the wine, food and pick-up

Mesi Studio welcomes your own wine, bubbles and grazing boards, and can add champagne on arrival or a grazing table.
The Craft Parlour is fully BYO and supplies glasses and small plates, and a caterer's delivery can come to the door.
Dirty Hands Pottery Studio offers free coffee, tea and water alongside your own wine or beer.
Clay goes home later: about five to six weeks at The Craft Parlour, and Dirty Hands calls when pieces can be collected.
