Did you know Melbourne was dubbed “Marvellous Melbourne” in the 1880? A fair time has passed since then but Melbourne continues to enchant us all, whether we were born here or far away. This year we all miss those things that make Melbourne… well Melbourne.. walking along the Yarra, festivals at Fed Square, parading along the Botanical Gardens, a movie at the Kino, dim sims in Chinatown, all the coffee, brunching… we even miss waiting for the tram!
We might be staying at home but we want to celebrate all the marvellous things we love about living here in Melbourne with a curated series of classes run by locals and neighbours! Paint local icons in watercolour, paper craft a tram, crochet a smashed avo toast, make barista coffee at home, design a map of your favourite suburb, cartoon your own Melbtoon… lots of fantastic classes to choose from.
Marvellous Melbourne classes are all 60-75mins, delivered live via Zoom. Book for individual classes below.
We’ll be adding more classes to the series as we go. If you’d like to teach a class yourself or suggest a topic, please email Marloes here. We are always looking for new teachers and ideas.
