If you want to learn a new skill or host a memorable event, you need to check out the best craft workshops in Perth. These spaces offer diverse activities like pottery throwing and sewing classes. 

But finding the right studio can be tricky if you don’t know where to look. To help, we’ve explored various local studios to see which ones deliver genuine value and hands-on fun. 

Read on to discover our top picks for your next creative adventure!

1. Studio Thimbles

Website: studiothimbles.com.au 

Address: 437 Hay Street, Subiaco

Contact: 0403 120 016 | [email protected]

Hours: Class-based schedule

Learning to sew can feel daunting at first, but Studio Thimbles makes it easier with their fully equipped studio. They offer beginner-friendly sewing courses and provide the materials and equipment, so you can start creating without buying anything.

We spoke with a client who took an introductory garment construction class, and they said the hands-on support was excellent.

Small group sizes mean you get plenty of direct guidance and quick feedback as you learn. From there, you can move into social sewing and more advanced alterations as your skills grow.

Plus, the studio welcomes both kids and adults, making it a great option for different age groups.

But since their focus is mainly on sewing and textiles, you won’t find many other art forms here. 

Supportive atmosphere, great instruction and interesting projects

Supportive atmosphere, great instruction and interesting projects- the perfect place to learn to sew. Olga is great and a wealth of knowledge- I loved my classes at Studio Thimbles. I was a complete beginner- never touched a sewing machine before I started- and I always felt I was given excellent support and coaching to succeed, and most importantly, enjoy the process of sewing. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn to sew!

Best decision I made this year

Absolutely loved my sewing classes. Best decision I made this year. I can’t believe I have made my own apron, skirt and now dress! I have so much more confidence and skill now in sewing and mending projects at home. The teachers are fantastic, patient and helpful. I looked forward to the class every week.

2. Crafter Studio

Website: https://crafterstudio.com.au/

Address: 43/211 Beaufort Street

Contact: 0404 221 058 | [email protected]

Hours: Thursday to Tuesday 11:00 AM-7:00 PM

Finding a creative activity that works for a whole group can be tricky. Crafter Studio makes it easier with a multi-activity DIY space offering options like mosaic art and fluid art.

You don’t need any prior experience to join. Their staff guides you through each step, which makes the process less intimidating for first-time crafters.

We spoke with a client who recently attended a weekend fluid art session, and they said the relaxed atmosphere made the experience genuinely fun.

For mosaic projects, you can also choose from more than 20 different coloured stones. The studio is well suited to social events, from weekend dates to corporate functions.

However, their focus on both regular workshops and larger events can sometimes make availability tricky. They’re also closed on Wednesdays.

The craft activities on offer are varied and we always find something we love

Recently came here for the second time with my daughter. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The craft activities on offer are varied and we always find something we love, which becomes a special momento of our trip. Thank you to the lovely staff 🙂

Fun, satisfying & different activity to do

Fun, satisfying & different activity to do. Recently went with my 10 year old daughter for decoden craft. Location is easy to access and there’s metered parking right outside (take coins – no card facility except ‘easypark’ app). Joe and his team were super friendly & helpful

3. The Sunshine Lane

Website: https://thesunshinelane.com/

Address: 89 Eighth Avenue, Maylands

Contact: [email protected]

Hours: Wednesday-Friday, 10:00 AM-4:00 PM; Saturday-Sunday, 9:30 AM-2:00 PM

Families looking for a flexible creative outlet will feel right at home at The Sunshine Lane in Maylands. 

They offer casual drop-in craft sessions alongside structured after-school classes, creating a welcoming space for hands-on creativity at different skill levels.

Their after-school programs introduce kids to different mediums, including clay and repurposed art. Regular visitors can also get more value from the family membership, which includes free studio entry during drop-in sessions and discounts on products.

However, the studio’s smaller size can make private group bookings harder to arrange. They’re also closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so you’ll need to plan around those days.

Super fun and easy to just walk in and start making something

Just took the kids for a craft date. 4yo really enjoyed making some polymer clay monsters (with a little help!) while I glazed a mug and the baby slept in the pram. Super fun and easy to just walk in and start making something, with the set up / clean up taken care of 😂  Will go again for some collage making!

I highly recommend visiting The Sunshine Lane for any fun, creative experiences!

My fiance gifted me a polymer clay earring workshop for my birthday and it was such a wholesome experience! Our teacher was super friendly and helped us make some beautiful little creations. We left with about 6 gorgeous pairs of earrings between the two of us and felt very inspired to take it up as a hobby. I highly recommend visiting The Sunshine Lane for any fun, creative experiences!

4. Open Hands Creative

Website: https://www.openhandscreative.com/

Address: Perth

Contact: contact form via website

Hours: Contact to schedule an appointment

Many people want to explore their creative side without creating a big environmental footprint. Open Hands Creative makes that easier with a fully mobile art experience focused on eco-friendly practices and sustainability-themed events.

They bring pop-up workshops directly to different venues across the region, so you don’t have to travel to a fixed studio. Their workshops work well for families, corporate groups, and private events.

They can even customise sessions for bridal showers and birthday parties, including custom signage for hosts. For something more convenient, they offer craft kits you can enjoy at home.

Plus, you can learn different artistic techniques without enrolling in formal art school.

But since the workshops take place at different venues, the overall experience can vary depending on the space and setup.

A wonderful way to share quality time

Had an amazing experience doing the flower crown workshop with my teen daughter. The workshop itself and location catered to all senses. This was up there with one of the best experiences we’ve shared together. A wonderful way to share quality time. Look forward to attending future workshops.

The studio space was beautiful, the workshop was so well organised and presented

My daughter and I attended the open day, fabric stamping workshop 30/04. The studio space was beautiful, the workshop was so well organised and presented. My 5 year old had so much fun and felt very comfortable with all the staff.

Coffee for parents was a massive added bonus! Thank you so much Morgan, Chloe and team!

5. Happy Hub Collective

Website: https://www.happyhubcollective.com.au/

Address: Based in Fremantle and mobile across Perth 

Contact: +61 478 728 487 | [email protected]

Hours: Contact to schedule an appointment

Working with clay is a relaxing way to take a break from everyday stress. Happy Hub Collective specialises in guided pottery classes and floral design workshops, with a fixed studio in Fremantle and mobile creative sessions across the city.

Their classes focus on hands-on participation and connection rather than casual drop-in crafting. They provide the clay and firing materials you need, making the setup simple for corporate wellness events and private weekend celebrations.

You can also arrange for their team to bring a workshop directly to your community program.

Just remember pottery that breaks during drying or firing isn’t eligible for a refund. 

Shiloh guided the session perfectly, giving a brief but really helpful run through the basics

Walking in the space was set up so thoughtfully and they made everyone feel welcome, with a drink in hand. Shiloh guided the session perfectly, giving a brief but really helpful run through the basics, then letting everyone be creative and do their own thing. She and Aïscha were hands on and so helpful, enthusiastic and kind for the whole session, but never intervened when it wasn’t welcomed (and kept the mimosas flowing, the perfect playlist of tunes going, and took some happy snaps for us too!)
