Paint & Sip on the Southern Gold Coast

Everything to Know About Paint & Sip

Creative parties in the south cluster in Burleigh Heads, with Tugun's POT Studios as the alternative for pottery. Choosing between suburbs mainly matters if clay is the plan, because Burleigh Heads and Tugun each have a studio with a different approach.

How Burleigh Heads and Tugun compare for a group:

Painting is at Burleigh Heads only: Mesi Studio's textured art from $55 per person, and canvases at The Craft Parlour from $65 per person.
Mixed crafts are at The Craft Parlour, with flower crowns, beading, candles and more.
Clay for smaller groups suits Dirty Hands Pottery Studio, from $110 per person and up to 12 people.
Clay for bigger groups suits POT Studios in Tugun, with 6 to 25 people in a two-hour workshop.
BYO food and drinks are allowed at all four studios.

POT Studios has six wheels, so bigger Tugun parties usually mix hand building with wheel throwing.
Dirty Hands Pottery Studio asks you to pick hand building or wheel throwing on its enquiry form.
Firing and glazing are covered at both, and pieces are collected later.
The Craft Parlour also offers ceramics if some of your group would prefer a different craft.
