Cork and Canvas Darlinghurst

Overview

For those that need a glass of wine to feel confident enough to get creative and paint, especially in public, Cork and Canvas is waiting. Offering public painting sessions and private events, this paint 'n' sip studio does not offer your typical art class. Aspiring artists are invited to BYO drinks and nibbles to enjoy while they paint — fridges, plates, glassware and all painting supplies are provided.

Each session takes on a different theme, with the Cork and Canvas team taking you step-by-step through creating a Picasso-esque portrait of your mate, a pop-art-style painting of your pet, or the next Banksy exhibition piece.

Sessions will set you back between $50–80, and groups of four or more score a cheeky discount. If you're looking for somewhere to host your next work party, private sessions can be booked for up to 53 painters. Walk in with a little liquid inspiration and walk out with a new masterpiece.
