For those members of the public inspired by the work exhibited each year on the Art and Architecture Trail Melbourne Festival organise a series of workshops each spring and autumn led by artists and makers who exhibit on the Trail.

Melbourne Festival Workshops programme aims to include something for everyone. The workshops are suitable for beginners, or people wanting to brush up their skills. Don’t be put off if you have no prior experience, enthusiasm is the key!

All specialist materials are provided for workshops, however some workshops require you to bring items with you or pay for extra materials on the day but this information will be provided when your place is confirmed.
Our aim is that everyone will have an enjoyable day and leave with the satisfaction of having learnt a new skill.

Autumn workshops are being confirmed and details and booking instructions will be available on this page as soon as they are available.
