Where creativity gets a little messy

A photo booth with a curtain, a sign that says 'PHOTO BOOTH,' and several photo strips on the wall.

(and that’s exactly how we like it)

Art classes for kids. Paint and Sip sessions for grown-ups.

From birthday parties to school holiday chaos, we create experiences that spark connection, build confidence, and leave everyone a little paint-splattered in the best way possible.

Our vibe

If you’re looking for perfect brushstrokes, this isn’t it.

We’re colourful, loud with laughter, and proudly covered in paint.

Our Geelong studio is designed for fun, not formality. You’ll find shelves stacked with paper, cardboard, gluesticks, and brushes that have seen things.

We’re here to remind you that art isn’t about being good at it. It’s about feeling good while you do it and when your feeling good about it the technique and outcome takes care of itself.

School Holiday Program

Forget the iPads and bring on the paint. Our school holiday sessions are the perfect mix of fun, learning, and creativity.

Kids will paint, sculpt, and craft their way through the day with help from our amazing facilitators who know how to keep things exciting and confidence-building.

Termly Classes

Our weekly art adventures help kids build skills, explore new mediums, and express themselves in ways school doesn’t always allow. Each term features new projects in painting, clay, collage, and craft.

You’ll get a proud smile and a fridge-worthy creation at the end of every class.

We handle setup, activities, and cleanup so you can relax and enjoy the day.

Choose your theme and watch your mini-Picassos light up with creativity.

Paint and Sip

Swap the juice boxes for wine glasses. Paint, chat, and laugh with friends while creating something you’ll actually want to hang on your wall.

Perfect for birthdays, hens nights, or team bonding.

No skills required, just good vibes!!

OUR Studio and space

Our Newtown studio is the heart of everything we do — bright, character-filled, and bursting with creativity.

It is where kids discover their confidence through art, where adults unwind with a paintbrush in hand, and where laughter, colour, and connection fill every corner.

Whether you are joining a class, celebrating a birthday, or attending a Paint and Sip night, the studio is designed to feel inspiring, welcoming, and just a little bit magical.

Because every creative moment deserves a photo finish.

Meet Jess

Hi, I’m Jess, founder of We Made and professional paint wrangler.

After years working in school wellbeing, I started this studio to help kids and adults build confidence through creativity.

What began as a few workshops has grown into a colourful community where imagination is celebrated and everyone feels safe to create.

Come for the art, stay for the laughs, and leave with a little more confidence than you walked in with.
