There's a version of you that makes their own pasta, knows how to throw on a pottery wheel, or can actually mix a decent cocktail. RedBalloon learning experiences are how that version shows up. With hundreds of classes and workshops across Australia - cooking, art, photography, craft, cocktail-making, and more. There's something here for every kind of curious. Browse by location and interest or give a learning experience as a gift with a 5-year voucher that lets them choose their own class.
Learning experiences worth showing up for
The best learning experiences don't feel like lessons. They feel like an afternoon you chose, doing something with your hands, guided by someone who actually knows what they're doing.
RedBalloon has hundreds of classes and workshops across Australia spanning cooking, art and craft, cocktail making, photography, and more. Whether you're a complete beginner or have dabbled before, the experiences here are designed for people who want to enjoy the process, not just the outcome.
What kind of learning experiences does RedBalloon offer?
Cooking classes cover everything from Italian pasta-making and French technique to South American BBQ and Thai cuisine - most ending with a sit-down meal of what you've just made. Art and craft workshops include paint and sip classes, pottery wheel sessions, clay sculpting, polymer clay jewellery, and chocolate-making. Photography workshops let you learn composition and technique with a real camera in your hands. Cocktail masterclasses teach you to shake, stir and strain properly. There are also more niche options: traditional butter-making in Tasmania, blacksmithing in Queensland, a coffee roasting tour in Adelaide, and a cooking demonstration at Maggie Beer's Farm in the Barossa.
Learning experiences as gifts
A class or workshop is one of the easier gifts to get right, because the recipient gets to choose what they actually want to learn. RedBalloon gift vouchers are redeemable across the full learning experiences range, valid for five years, and can be personalised with a message.
