Join a relaxed, creative morning class designed for adults who want to explore acrylics and mixed media in a supportive, community-focused setting. These adult art classes are led by expressionist artist Lee Cummins and are perfect for parents seeking a nourishing creative outlet while balancing family life.
You can expect a warm, inclusive environment where artists of all levels work at their own pace and discover new techniques in acrylics and mixed media. The classes focus on exploration rather than perfection, making it ideal for busy parents who want low-pressure creative time.
Each session will introduce practical painting approaches inspired by local Australian landscapes, with demonstrations and gentle one-on-one guidance. Expect friendly feedback and time to develop individual projects over the six sessions, great for building confidence in painting and mixed media art.
Materials and outcomes will be clearly explained so you can plan ahead; basic materials may be provided or a simple materials list supplied before the first class. You will leave each class with new skills and small finished pieces, and a renewed sense of creative energy.
The course runs as six weekly morning sessions on Wednesdays from 10:00 to 12:00, covering foundational techniques in colour, composition and texture. This structured yet flexible format suits parents who prefer consistent, mid-week creative time.
Lee Cummins draws on local scenes for inspiration, and lessons include demonstrations in expressive acrylic techniques and mixed media layering. The focus is on process-driven art making so participants can enjoy experimentation and personal expression without pressure.
Classes are suitable for beginners through to intermediate artists who want to refine skills or try a new medium. The small-group setting encourages peer support and individual attention from the tutor, creating a nurturing learning environment for adults.
Classes are held at Aspendale Gardens Community Centre, 103-105 Kearney Drive, Aspendale Gardens 3195, a convenient local venue with easy access from surrounding suburbs. The centre is family-friendly and provides a calm morning atmosphere for adult learning.
Consider walking, cycling or using public transport where possible to avoid parking stress; there are local bus routes and short-term parking near the centre. The venue coordinates well with school drop-off routines for parents who want to attend before other daytime commitments.
If you need accessibility support or travel advice, contact the event organisers in advance so they can help you plan your visit. The community centre staff can provide guidance on entry points and facilities to make your arrival smooth.
The course is run by Aspendale Gardens Community Service Inc. and places are limited to ensure quality tuition, so booking early is recommended. Sessions are suitable for adults only and are paced to accommodate varying experience levels.
Health and wellbeing are considered throughout the class; if you have specific needs (allergies to materials, mobility requirements) please notify the organisers ahead of time. Bring an apron or wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on, and plan to bring or purchase any recommended materials.
Please arrive a few minutes early for sign-in and set-up so sessions can start promptly at 10:00. The classes are designed to be a restorative midweek break — think creative time that fits around family life and school schedules.
The six-session course fee is $155.00, payable at time of booking and covering the full six-week program. This fee reflects expert tuition and the small-group setting which provides individual support and structured learning.
To book or enquire, visit the Aspendale Gardens Community Service website page for the art class or contact them directly by phone or Facebook. Early booking is advised as sessions often fill quickly, especially with midweek timing that suits parents and carers.
Refunds and transfer policies are managed by the hosting organisation; if you need to change your booking, contact the organisers as soon as possible to discuss options. The booking page will outline payment methods and any materials information you need before the first class.
