OCEAN LOVERS FESTIVAL - Workshop - Paint & Splash

OCTUPI-ING THE OCEANS - Join Apnea Yoga expert and octopus lover Tessa Ucchino @‌apneayogi to create pottery tea-lights inspired by her encounters with these wondrous eight-legged creatures.

Dive into an immersive painting experience with local artist Han Art for the ‘Paint and Splash’ Ocean Series. Returning for its fourth year at the Ocean Lovers Festival, the 2025 series expands to include weekly creative workshops throughout March. This year, the beloved Bondi café, Glory Days, will host each incredible workshop. Located in the iconic Bondi Pavilion overlooking the vibrant marine life of Bondi Beach, Glory Days will also provide a delicious selection of fresh canapés for guests.

During each 2-hour Masterclass, participants will be guided step-by-step in creating their own artwork inspired by the featured marine animal of the week. Every session also includes a short presentation from a passionate guest speaker sharing stories about their connection with these remarkable creatures.

WHEN: 7 pm - 9 pm Wednesday 19th March, 2025

WHERE: Glory Days, Bondi Pavilion

Guests will be welcomed with a refreshing glass of wine by fellow lovers of the ocean, The Hidden Sea. An amazing wine sharing our vision and mission, it’s making a real impact. For every bottle sold, The Hidden Sea removes the equivalent of 10 plastic bottles from the ocean, helping create a cleaner, healthier future.

A portion of profits from the Paint and Splash series will also support our charity partner, Underwater Earth, whose breathtaking underwater imagery will be showcased on the night, reminding us all of the beauty we’re working to protect.

Spots are limited, so be sure to book early to secure your place in this inspiring celebration of art, marine life, and ocean health.

We can’t wait to SEA you there!
