Art Month at Pine Street Creative Arts Centre

Overview

Whether you haven't picked up a paintbrush since high school or you live and breathe art, now is a great opportunity to stretch your creative muscles in Sydney. This month marks the return of Art Month Sydney, which will take over studios, galleries, museums and community centres across the city. The program of exhibitions, workshops, panel discussions and parties is aimed at celebrating Sydney's contemporary art scene.

And, of course, Pine Street Creative Arts Centre is getting involved. On Saturday, March 23, the Chippendale studio is running a full day of art workshops, free talks and demonstrations. You can make your own sterling silver jewellery ($45), try your hand at printmaking with fabric stamping and block printing classes (both $35), or learn to paint portraits ($204). You can also design your own fabric in this all-day workshop led by Goldberg Aberline studio ($260).

If you've ever thought you'd like to learn more about art and make some of your own, this is a friendly and welcoming space to start exploring. Try out some different disciplines and see if one (or more) sticks — you'll know. And if it does, you can then look into some of Pine Street's longer courses — from one- or two-day workshops to longer courses that run between six and eight weeks.
