Geelong Artz With Class

Unlock your creativity with Grace Bailey MA,  artist with 30+ years experience.

Welcome to Geelong Artz With Class, where creativity meets fun! I’m Grace Bailey, an artist with over 30 years of experience, and I’ve had the joy of teaching painting workshops not just here in Australia, but overseas in America, Fiji, England, New Zealand, Macao, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or you're a seasoned painter looking for new inspiration, there's something for you in my one-day painting workshops.

All painting days are held in my enormous, light-filled studio in Highton, surrounded by my own paintings. I provide all the materials you’ll need (except for canvases) and keep you fuelled with a healthy morning tea and lunch.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It – Hear From Past Participants

Listen to Naomi's review! she had never painted before!

and Helan has been painting for 30 years!!

Grace is a talented amazing teacher and coach , and eeever so patient. I came home with an artwork that I can hardly believe I created! If you're tempted to do it, make it happen! You won't regret it.

A wonderful experience whether you are an artist or a beginner - the finished paintings were a surprise to many that they could paint so well.

- Glennis

I want to thank you so much for giving me a starting point. I learnt so much in such a short space of time and you were so encouraging yet practical and I loved every moment.

**“We travel a lot for art and might be off on another adventure after early May (possibly Brussels for an artist residency!). So if you’ve been thinking about signing up, don’t wait too long—we may not be around until the weather warms up again!

Keen but need a payment plan? Let’s chat—we’re happy to work something out.”**
