HENS NIGHTS and BRIDAL PARTY'S in SYDNEY

The Best Idea Ever

This is the best idea ever for a Hens night. One day a bridesmaid phoned and asked if we would do a special 'drawing a nude male'  beginners art class? We thought 'why not?' We did it and we all had a ball. It was wonderful. Consequently for the next 2 years we kept on having more and more of them just on word of mouth, we didn't advertise once. While there have been others who have copied the idea since, nobody does this as well as us. My name is Tony Johansen, and I am your teacher for the best hens night possible.

This is the blog for Sydney Hens Nights. You can see more, including photo galleries of our hens nights, at our full website by clicking here. In formation about the other exciting classes here at East Sdney Academy of Art can be found in the sidebar at right.

Would You Enjoy A Champagne?

Meet Paula your hostess for the evening.

An artist's studio without drinks is, well, not a real artist's studio. Our Sydney Hens Nights include champagne as you enter and to keep the creative juices flowing, would you enjoy another champagne? Some party's prefer half/half with orange juice or pink lemonade. Or perhaps you prefer fresh spring water from the head of the Colo River reputed to be the most pure natural water on Earth. At East Sydney Academy of Art we treat bride's in the way they deserve to be treated. In this unique environment you will feel very special indeed.

Yummy Finger Food

We call it Bohemian Fare, it's the sort of nibbles that you would expect in a real artist's studio and we would not want to disappoint. It's hommus and avocado dips and salami and carrots and lebanese bread and melon and olives and watercrackers and all manner of yummy temptations. Just perfect as entrées before dinner at one of the more than 200 fine restaurants within 10 minutes walk of the studio.

The Perfect Location

East Sydney Academy of Art is perfectly located, central to major transport hubs including public transport, it is easy to find just 3 minutes walk from the Coca Cola sign near Kings Cross. Most Hen's Party's book for 5 o'clock. That is excellent timing to go from your special drawing event to dinner at any one of the 200 restaurants within 10 minutes walk.

Restaurants in this area vary from very exclusve 5 star establishments like Otto's or Salt to more casual yet excellent eateries like Venice Beach or Tharens, the hat place. Every taste and every budget is catered for in this premier restaurant district.

Then afterwards there are enough Nightclubs and bars to satisfy the urge to party.

The Art Class

This is the class that everyone is talking about. All of these women are beginners. I guide them through a 6 step program that makes drawing the figure easy. Each time we have one of these groups the hens all go away amazed at how quickily they made a drawing that was not only fun to make, but actually looked like the model. The model of course is the traditional male life drawing model. At East Sydney Academy of Art you will be taught by myself, Tony Johansen. I have great experience at teaching beginners groups to draw the figure. You can see my work here.  I look forward to showing you too how easy it is to be an artist and enjoy your night out.

To Book Your Hens Night, or To Enquire If Your Date Is Still Available

Sydney Hens Night has been a popular idea for all concerned, including us. For a long time we kept getting bookings just from word of mouth as the happy brides spread the word. Now we have a website and we expect more bookings to follow. To ensure that you don't miss out on the best hens night experience in Sydney book now, or enquire if your date is still available by clicking here.

Belly Dancing At Our Hens Arty Party

Belly Dancing is a fun and exotic optional extra now available for our Arty Partys. In the East Belly Dancing was an important part of women only celebrations for centuries, and while the idea of a Hens Night is a fairly modern one, the inclusion of Belly Dancing is very fitting for todays world. The color and excitement of this beautiful dance follows the conclusion of the art class and is the perfect way to finish a wonderful event.

Our New Web Site

We now have a new web site online. Our old faithful site is still viewable at

SydneyHensNight.com.

The new site has additional information including Belly Dancing and a special Hens Night planning guide. It can be found at

HensNightIdeas.com

We have come a long way from the early days when the Hens Nights were something we did not seek, but bridesmaids kept phoning us because they had heard about our Arty Partys. For 2 years we didn't advertise at all. But finally it dawned on us, it is a popular idea, and we should make a web site. Now days we have bookings as much as 6 months in advance, and more than one Hens Night every weekend.
