Wild Learning is an arts space in the heart of Cessnock all about opportunities for locals and visitors to get creative!

  • We run classes for children and adults

  • We teach art, craft, creative skills, sewing, choir, music and wellness.

  • We run regular weekly classes and weekend workshops.

  • We do amazing birthday parties, hen’s parties, team building activities and retreats.

    Wild Learning is independent and locally owned which means we have the flexibility to deliver the programs our community wants and a deep passion for inclusion and creating positive opportunities for Cessnock.


    We are all about arts + people + community

As a studio we welcome beginners, new starters, those seeking a friendly place to relax with a new hobby or connect with new friends - and we also love being a space of enrichment and growth for more experienced creatives.

We love to mix high quality materials and arts processes with recycled and reclaimed resources - this helps reduce our environmental footprint AND means our programs remain affordable. (We also don’t sell creative supplies in house - so you will never be pushed to purchase expensive materials in order to participate in classes)

When you step into our space, we want you to feel welcomed into an environment that feels inspiring and like a great big community living room where magic and art happen!

All our teaching artists are also practising artists with some pretty cool skills. We love collaboration, community projects, commissions and great big wild ideas! So if you need creative work in Cessnock - lets talk!

“Absolutely loving this class! Really appreciate all the help and support and encouragement from Emmie, Emmie has been so patient in teaching me. I went from knowing absolutely nothing to this term making my own play suit. Couldn’t recommend Wild Learning more.”
