Everything to Know About Paint & Sip

A creative session here can mean a canvas or a lump of clay. The painting studio sits in the waterfront precinct and runs artist-led sessions where the group brings its own drinks, while two pottery studios, one on Bathurst Street in the city centre and one in Goodwood in the northern suburbs, teach the wheel and hand-building to private groups.

Comparing the three formats:

  • Painting from $59 per person: an artist guides the group through one piece step by step, and guests bring whatever they like to sip.
  • City pottery from $63.75 per person: beginner-friendly wheel and hand-building workshops with free BYO, and children welcome for family groups.
  • Northern suburbs pottery from $85 per person: private classes at a Goodwood clay studio, on the wheel, by hand or a mix of both, for up to 16 guests.
  • Messy or tidy: painting keeps everyone seated and chatting, while the wheel takes focus and splashes, which some groups enjoy most of all.

Clay pieces need drying and firing before they can go home, so ask how and when the group collects its work. For a fuller day, see hens party ideas.

Occasions a studio suits

  • Hens groups often book a studio as the relaxed first stop before dinner along the waterfront or in Salamanca Place.
  • Baby showers and bridal showers suit painting, where nobody needs to stand at a wheel for an hour.
  • Work teams use clay or canvas as a low-pressure team building session where nobody needs prior skill.
  • Birthdays across the ages work too, and the Bathurst Street studio welcomes children.

Setting up the session

  • Ask what is included: aprons, materials, glazes and firing, or the session alone.
  • Check whether food can be brought or ordered in, especially for a session that runs over a meal time.
  • An evening start in winter gives the group a warm indoor plan on a cold night.
  • Confirm the finish time so a dinner booking lines up afterwards.

Before and after the studio

  • The waterfront and city studios sit among the bars and restaurants of the old town, so a session can roll straight into dinner.
  • Goodwood is out in the northern suburbs; book a minibus if the group heads on to dinner from there.
  • For a BYO session, agree who brings what and include a non-alcoholic option.

Before You Book: Paint & Sip FAQs

Is the paint and sip studio in the waterfront precinct BYO?

Yes. Guests bring their own drinks to the artist-led painting sessions, which start from $59 per person for hens, birthdays, showers and teams.

Can children join a pottery party in the city centre?

The Bathurst Street pottery studio welcomes kids, so a family birthday or a mixed group can share a wheel or hand-building workshop there.

How many guests fit in a private clay class at Goodwood?

The Goodwood studio takes up to 16 for private classes, from $85 per person. Larger groups should ask about splitting into two sessions.

Do pottery pieces go home at the end of the class?

Usually not on the night, because clay has to dry and be fired. Ask each studio how it returns finished work and roughly how long that takes.

Which creative studios around the city take hens bookings?

All three studios run hens sessions: guided painting in the waterfront precinct, and pottery on Bathurst Street and in Goodwood.
