From Melbourne Calm Painting Workshops by TanShi

👇This workshop requires **a fee and a deposit.** Please read all below before you hit the button👇 Hello art lovers, for this meet-up, we’ll use water-based acrylic paints to create a small artwork that you can take home and display👩‍🎨 Each session includes a live demonstration from me, so beginners are absolutely welcome! The group is intentionally small, which means there is plenty of time for questions and individual guidance👍 Recent themes we've done include: 🌊A lakeside scene inspired by Ballarat 🌷A picture of flowers, "I want to display" 🌇A view of Geelong's sunset Let me know what you would like to try :-) **Place** Brunswick West (👉private home studio space – exact address provided after booking via message) **Fee** **$50 AUD** All materials included! You only need to bring: • a drink • a lunch or snack(if you need) • a bag to carry your artwork home The finished painting is approximately A5 size. **Before attending the sessions** If you’d like to join, please send me a message to secure your seats with: **1\. Your name** **2\. A short introduction (your art experience or what interests you about joining)** **Deposit** To secure your seat and prepare plenty of materials, **a $20 deposit** is required via bank transfer(PayID) before the sessions. Details will be provided via message. The last $30 fee can be paid directly on the day via bank transfer/cash, so that we don't have to pay extra fees for PayPal, hehe😂) If you can not come after paying your deposit, please let me know as early as possible. I’ll pay it back via bank transfer. I’m hoping to create a friendly space where people can enjoy making art without pressure, meet others, and leave with a painting they’re proud of😊 If you’re coming alone, don’t worry — most of the people join solo, and the group is kept small and friendly. If you would like to bring guests, please message me directly to reserve your seats. Thanks for reading, and feel free to message me with any questions😊 *As a requirement of the owner of the studio space, males may only participate as part of a couple when you attend the sessions, until the organiser finds a nice common studio space. Thank you for your understanding🙏

4.5

**🌙✨ The Chic Night‑Walk of Quiet Chemistry for Singles** - Oscar Cooper Cafe→ QT Rooftop - Next door (almost) to Prahran train station - Sandringham line - Singles only 30–55 - No married or seperated individuals - Thursday Evening - 6:30 PM meet, 7:00 PM depart 💫 **The Vi**be: A dark mysterious, atmospheric, gently flirtatious night‑walk for singles who appreciate elegance, subtlety, and the kind of slow‑burn social energy that only emerges under Melbourne’s evening lights. **Please no**te: *This event is waitlisted.* *I want a balanced gender mix, i.e even numbers of girls and guys. I have a creep code operating and event expectations around no shows, read on* for how that works. Just adults 30–55 who enjoy good company, good conversation, and the soft glamour of a city at dusk. We begin at Oscar Cooper on Greville Street — a perfect pre‑amble spot for a bite, a drink, or simply a stylish rendezvous before stepping into the night. 🌌 **The Route**: A Civilised Stroll Through Darkness & Beauty A curated (but lightly chaotic) 5–6 km, 1 hour 15 min meander through some of Melbourne’s most atmospheric night‑time landscapes. **Expect**: - Fawkner Park in its dusky quiet — long avenues of shadow and soft silhouettes - The Shrine precinct glowing like a sentinel over the city - The NGV and its moody forecourt pools - St Kilda Road’s Parisian stretch — elegant, tree‑lined, and cinematic at night - A final ascent to the QT Rooftop, where the lights, the skyline, and the social energy all rise together This walk is intentionally semi‑random — a curated drift through parks, gardens, boulevards, and pockets of beautiful silence. The kind of route where you might whisper “wow” without meaning to. Optional micro‑detours may include: - Transport Bar 🍺 - The NGV forecourt - The Queen Victoria Gardens - A spontaneous pause at any spot that feels too gorgeous to ignore 🕰️ **Schedule** - 6:30 PM — Arrive at Oscar Cooper, 160 Greville St - Grab a bite, a drink, or simply gather with the group - 6 - 7:00 PM — We depart - A civilised, unhurried night‑walk through parks, gardens, and boulevards - ~8:15 PM — Arrival at QT Rooftop - Drinks, mingling, and the soft sparkle of Melbourne’s skyline 🧥 **What to Bring** - Comfortable walking shoes - A warm layer (Melbourne nights love drama) - Curiosity, charm, and a willingness to talk to strangers - A sense of adventure — this walk rewards those who lean into the atmosphere - We will be heading into sophisticated walking and social spaces, so your best urban walking outfits for a cold mid winter walk **🚶‍♀️Fitness and etique**tte I like walking at a relaxed pace around 4+km/hr It's a long walk, so make sure you can keep up and can make the distance People who speed ahead aren't really welcome, find a speed walking group instead. If you are too slow and dawdle you might be asked to leave, same goes with inappropriate behaviour. Do not turn up un announced and not on the guest list, you will be asked to leave., Check ins will be performed. No shows will likely be removed from the group. If you can't make it take yourself off the going list 💘 **Flirtation Guidelines** **This** is a social event, not a pressure cooker.Don’t be pushy about phone numbers — let the moment offer itself If the vibe is mutual, go for it Become a regular — I’ll be testing this format over 3–4 events You’ll likely see the same lovely humans again at future singles nights/events or Eat Drink Dance “open” events The goal is to build a small, recurring ecosystem where people feel comfortable, familiar, and relaxed enough to be themselves. **👥Waitlist & Gender Ratios** **To** keep things balanced and comfortable: Event capped at max 30 people to test interest, Generally guys admitted only after a woman registers (to maintain ratios) at my discretion until the format matures. If you become a regular I'm not so discriminating as long as you behave yourself. 💁‍♀️ **Female Privilege —** Early Bird Advantage If a woman messages the organiser after being added to “Going,” she may nominate someone from the guys waitlist — provided his communication fits the event’s social expectations. Discretion is assured👍 This means guys may be delayed entry. Women can be a little flaky (we love them anyway), so I may accept 1–2 extra **🧭The Creep Code** **A** refined social compass keeps the vibe safe, fun, and drama‑free. So: No married/seperated individuals or those already coupled up (generally) No Tinder Swindler‑style minglers **Guys**: Please Take Special Note - Must have a clear face photo (no sunglasses, no blurry shadows, no “mysterious man in witness protection”) - No wide shots taken from a distance where you can't be identified. - No yacht/car/jet flexing — if your profile screams “crypto‑adjacent”, you will be gently declined. - If you are declined, update your profile photo to something less creepy. - **Girls**: No restrictions — privacy and safety first” ⚠️ **SMAL EVENT EXPECTATIONS ⚠️** **⏰Late Arrivals** - The event starts on time. - More than 15 minutes late without communication = No‑show - More than 30 minutes late (even with communication) = Not admitted = No Show - We do not endlessly wait at meeting points. If you’re late, you must find the group yourself. Messages are not monitored after the start of the walk.. This protects the experience for people who arrive on time 👻 **No‑Shows** No‑shows block waitlisted people from attending and disrupt small-group events. Remove yourself at least 24 hours before the event. No‑shows will likely be removed and blocked from the group. Last‑minute cancellations (“flaking”) may also result in group removal, especially when there is a waitlist. 👀 **Attending Without Being on the Going List** This is a security issue. Do NOT turn up unannounced. If you’re not on the Going list and haven’t arranged it with the organiser beforehand, you will be asked to leave. Event check‑ins are performed.

Yes, Meetup encourages member input. You can discuss your ideas with the group coordinator, and they might help organize a new event based on popular interest.

Meeting new people can vary by individual. Engaging actively in events increases the likelihood of forming meaningful connections over time.

Joining Meetup is free, though some events might have associated costs for participation, typically mentioned in the event details.
