Wayside Walks is a tour unlike any you’ll ever find in a guide book. It takes people around Kings Cross and Elizabeth Bay where Andrew points out spots of significance along the way – the places where he slept and ate, other charities that are in the area and moments of how he came to know Wayside so well.

The host is Wayside employee and former rough sleeper, Andrew Windsor, who draws on his own experiences of homelessness and addiction to provide people with a rare insight into street life.

In this awesome class, you’ll learn some basic colour theory, painting composition and unique techniques on how to paint using just what you were born with- your hands and your Heart.

Enjoy 2 glasses of wine, some canapes and prepare to rediscover that childhood passion for getting messy while learning a rad new skill to create art at home! You’ll be amazed at what you will create.

What you’ll get:
