Cheaper Than Therapy (and way more fun!

We hear it all the time, from tired mums, stressed-out teachers, frazzled FIFO partners, and even teens who've had a week.

"This is honestly cheaper than therapy."

And they’re not wrong. There’s something a bit magic about walking into our studio, kicking off your shoes (sometimes literally), and letting your brain take a back seat while your hands do their thing.

Why art, though?

Because creativity is calming. It slows you down. It lets you get a bit messy, and it doesn’t need to be perfect. It’s not about painting the next Mona Lisa.

It’s about the sound of a brush swooshing through paint, the feel of pastel dust on your fingertips, the way you lose track of time while mixing colours you didn’t even know had names.

It’s mindfulness without the app. Confidence without the pep talk. Joy without the pressure to be good at it.

Come for the chaos, stay for the calm

At Faire & Co, we’re all about process art. That means the doing is more important than the outcome. No pressure. No right or wrong. Just pure, paint-splattered joy.

Whether you’re a seasoned sketcher or haven’t picked up a pencil since Year 6, we’ve got a class for you. Our studio is a no-judgement, glitter-friendly, community-powered space where you can reconnect with your creative side (or discover it for the first time).

Real talk from the studio

We've had people cry mid-class (in a good way). We've had adults say it’s the first time they’ve truly relaxed in months. We’ve seen the quietest kids come out of their shell with a splatter of neon paint and a grin that doesn’t quit.

So is it really like therapy?

Look, we’re not trained psychologists, but we are big fans of turning off your phone, tuning into your senses, and making something just because you feel like it. And that, friends, is pretty therapeutic.

Want to see what the fuss is about?

Come join the gang. Check out our classes, whether it’s a Paint & Sip, Arty Farty for grown-ups, or our chaos-friendly family sessions, there’s a spot for you at the table. Want to see what’s on and when? Our 2026 timetables are live and looking fab — have a squiz and pencil yourself in.

Why we do membership (and not just drop-ins)

We know life gets full. Between school drop-offs, work chaos, and trying to remember if you’ve had a vegetable today, creative time often ends up dead last on the list.

So we made membership the heartbeat of our studio, because when creativity is something you commit to regularly, it becomes part of your life, not just a once-in-a-blue-moon treat.

Our term-based memberships give you a consistent space to unwind, reset, and reconnect, to your creativity, your community, and yourself.

It’s not about being “good at art”. It’s about showing up, week after week, and letting your nervous system exhale.

At Faire & Co, membership isn’t just about art classes (though we’ve got plenty of those). It’s about community, connection, and carving out a little creative space just for you.

Our members say it’s their midweek exhale, a place to unwind, reconnect, and remember how good it feels to just make something. Whether you come solo or bring your crew, there’s always a spot for you at our table.
