Let's draw or paint together at **Studley Park Boathouse!** 🛶 Studley Park Boathouse is Melbourne's oldest public boathouse and was renovated a few years ago. It's a beautiful place to soak up some sun next to the Yarra River (fingers crossed for the weather🤞). I have booked a large table for us on **Friday 24 July at 10am on The Deck**. This is at the cafe and restaurant so you are most welcome to grab yourself a hot drink or food while you sketch. Bring your own art supplies and be sure to dress warm in case it gets chilly! I look forward to seeing everyone soon ❤️

25 July: Figurine Painting and Friends-Social: Carlton

25 July: Figurine Painting and Friends-Social: Carlton

Sat, Jul 25, 3:00 AM
From Hue&Crew: Figurine Painting with new friends🎨

**✨Are you tired of making ‘how are you’ friends? This event is for you!✨** 🎨What better way to build and deepen connections than through a fun activity like **Figurine painting**! There are many social events but it isn’t easy to feel connected to someone in a large group setting. I am super extroverted yet found myself walking home after a great social feeling more lonely, because of all the superficial connections made. I started Hue&Crew to help people build their next close-friend circle based on age, personality and interest! 🎨**What to Expect** This isn’t a big mixer event, every event has a limit of 6 people per table and a fishbowl full of conversation starters to help people get started! We move around Melbourne's many beautiful cafes weekly to keep things fresh! Expect: * A fresh, comfy venue * A hosted structure so you’re never left awkwardly quiet * A fishbowl of conversation starters for the introverts * A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself * Hand-painted figurines you made yourself to bring home Each group is curated to feel natural, matched by age, interest and personality 🎨**Notice before you sign up:** As the events are really small and it might take some time to form a group with similar interests, we will inform you when there is a suitable group for you! **RSVP now:** [https://forms.gle/4MN6oygujee9qmej9](https://forms.gle/4MN6oygujee9qmej9) **Take a look at our instagram page to see past public events**👇 [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXY8PXADXsm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXY8PXADXsm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) **Bring a friend for a 10% Discount for the both of you!**

From Melbourne Calm Painting Workshops by TanShi

👇This workshop requires **a fee and a deposit.** Please read all below before you hit the button👇 Hello art lovers, for this meet-up, we’ll use water-based acrylic paints to create a small artwork that you can take home and display👩‍🎨 Each session includes a live demonstration from me, so beginners are absolutely welcome! The group is intentionally small, which means there is plenty of time for questions and individual guidance👍 Recent themes we've done include: 🌊A lakeside scene inspired by Ballarat 🌷A picture of flowers, "I want to display" 🌇A view of Geelong's sunset Let me know what you would like to try :-) **Place** Brunswick West (👉private home studio space – exact address provided after booking via message) **Fee** **$50 AUD** All materials included! You only need to bring: • a drink • a lunch or snack(if you need) • a bag to carry your artwork home The finished painting is approximately A5 size. **Before attending the sessions** If you’d like to join, please send me a message to secure your seats with: **1\. Your name** **2\. A short introduction (your art experience or what interests you about joining)** **Deposit** To secure your seat and prepare plenty of materials, **a $20 deposit** is required via bank transfer(PayID) before the sessions. Details will be provided via message. The last $30 fee can be paid directly on the day via bank transfer/cash, so that we don't have to pay extra fees for PayPal, hehe😂) If you can not come after paying your deposit, please let me know as early as possible. I’ll pay it back via bank transfer. I’m hoping to create a friendly space where people can enjoy making art without pressure, meet others, and leave with a painting they’re proud of😊 If you’re coming alone, don’t worry — most of the people join solo, and the group is kept small and friendly. If you would like to bring guests, please message me directly to reserve your seats. Thanks for reading, and feel free to message me with any questions😊 *As a requirement of the owner of the studio space, males may only participate as part of a couple when you attend the sessions, until the organiser finds a nice common studio space. Thank you for your understanding🙏
