Art Chat and Chill at Art Shed Moorabbin

Art Chat + Chill

Our casual monthly community hangout - it's not a class, not a demo, it's just a vibe. Bring your sketchbook, your current project, or just yourself. Sit, chat, create and connect with fellow art lovers in a totally relaxed, no-pressure space. Sometimes we demo a new product, sometimes we just vibe to a playlist and play with supplies. It's free. It's friendly. It's very Art Shed.

Art Classes & Workshops at Art Shed Moorabbin, Melbourne

Art Shed is Melbourne's go-to destination for art supplies, creative workshops and hands-on demonstrations. Conveniently located at 475 Warrigal Road, Moorabbin - just a short drive from the CBD - our in-store events bring together artists, crafters and curious beginners of all ages and skill levels.

We run a rotating calendar of art classes in Melbourne covering a wide range of mediums - including acrylic painting, watercolour, pastel drawing, mixed media and more. Our classes are deliberately kept small (typically 10-14 people) so every participant receives personalised guidance from our expert artist instructors.

We also host regular free art demonstrations in-store - the perfect low-pressure way to discover a new medium, pick up a technique, or get inspired. No booking required, just walk in. These demos cover everything from oil and soft pastels to acrylic pouring, drawing fundamentals and beyond.

All of our kids' art classes and school holiday workshops are facilitated by qualified instructors who hold valid Working with Children checks. Classes are beginner-friendly, structured around fun and creativity, and all materials are provided. We also run free, family-friendly in-store events throughout the year, making Art Shed a great destination for parents looking for creative activities for children in Melbourne's south-east.

Whether you're a complete beginner picking up a brush for the first time, or a practising artist looking to explore a new technique, Art Shed's workshops and demonstrations are designed to inspire, educate and connect our local creative community.


Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a Demo and a Class?

Free Demos are casual drop-ins - no booking, no cost. Watch one of our artists demonstrate a product, technique or medium live in-store. You're welcome to ask questions and sometimes even have a little try yourself. Just walk in during the scheduled time. Paid Classes are structured, hands-on sessions with limited spots where you actively participate from start to finish. Bookings are essential as spots fill fast - and you'll leave with something you actually made!

Where are Art Shed's classes and demos held?

All of our in-store events are held at Art Shed, 475 Warrigal Road, Moorabbin VIC 3189. We have free parking available on-site. We're open 7 days - Mon-Sat 9 am-5 pm, Sunday 10 am-4 pm.

Do I need to bring anything to a class?

For most of our classes, all art materials are provided - paint, brushes, paper, canvases, aprons and more. Each event listing will specify exactly what's included and whether you should bring anything (usually just yourself and clothes you don't mind getting creative with!).

Are your classes suitable for absolute beginners?

Absolutely! The majority of our workshops and demos are designed for beginners. Our instructors guide you through every step, so no prior experience is needed. Each event listing shows the recommended skill level so you can choose the right session for you.

Do you run art classes for kids?

Yes! We run kids' art classes and school holiday workshops throughout the year, suitable for children from ages 5 and up. Our kids' classes are run by qualified instructors with Working with Children checks. We also host free family events in-store. Check our listings above for upcoming children's events.

How do I book a class?
