Champainting at Sea Life Melbourne

Overview

Artistic inspiration comes in many forms. A fantastic view can do the trick — or a refreshing beverage could get your creative juices flowing. Or, at Cork and Canvas' new 'Champainting' sessions at Sea Life Melbourne, you can try both.

Putting a paintbrush in your hand and seeing what a dose of liquid courage brings out is hardly a new concept, and these folks have the history to prove it. But, between 6–9pm from Thursday, March 18 and Friday, March 19, Cork and Canvas is setting up shop somewhere other than its usual South Melbourne studio, and hosting two sessions not only with quite the bubbly accompaniment, but also surrounded by sea life.

Your $140 ticket includes the class — where you'll whip up something arty on a canvas, inspired by the setting and its sharks, stingrays, penguins, seahorses, jellyfish and turtles — plus two hours of bottomless sparkling, wine and beer, and a grazing platter as well.

Tickets are on sale now, but places are limited — so this is a get-in-quickly kind of affair. And yes, the price includes spending an hour touring the aquarium after-hours with your mates, too.
