Inner North Kids Classes
Melbourne's busiest strip for kids art classes and school holiday workshops.

Why Inner North (Northcote & Fitzroy)?
If you want a holiday workshop you can actually get to on a tram, the inner north is where to look. Northcote alone carries more bookable kids classes than the rest of Melbourne combined, and there is something running most days of the school break.
Paint With Me Melbourne on High Street sets the pace, running a different painting subject nearly every holiday day — Pikachu, Hedwig, Mushroom House, Pretty Kitty — plus all-ages family sessions where parents paint alongside their kids, and Messy Sensory Play for ages 1 to 5. During term they run Learn to Paint After School and Kids Drawing Classes as ongoing courses rather than one-offs.
In Collingwood, Slow Clay Centre runs Clay Club for kids and a separate Clay Club for Teens, along with a two-session Kid's Holiday pottery course over the break. Thread Den in Fitzroy teaches children to sew properly, starting with Beginner Basics and moving up to a two-day tote bag course.
Best suited to families who want a short trip, a range of options, and the ability to book a single day rather than a whole week.
