What lives inside
Three ways to create
Built for those who just get it. Every workshop feeds an event, every event feeds the community, and the community feeds the studio. One living, circular creative ecosystem.
Workshops
Learn it. Make it. Love it.
Arts, music, and self-care workshops for the curious, the creative, and the passionate. All levels welcomed, all materials included.
Improvisation Circle
Ever wanted to bang on something while your favourite song plays? Learn to feel the music and respond, improvise your own flair, and hold your own in a drum circle.
DJ & Mixing
Mixers, decks, beat matching, EQ, effects, and song selection. Walk away with a foundation that makes you feel confident, whether for your friends or your first crowd. Led by DJs with 10+ years.
Drum Lessons, Private & Group
Built around where you are, not where we think you should be. Flexible scheduling, genuine teaching, and a free 30-minute intro to start with no pressure.
Still Life Drawing
What if everyone saw the same still life differently? Settle the body, quiet the mind, and draw from an intuitive place. The focus is exploration, not perfection.
Acrylic Painting
Each session is inspired by a different art movement and featured artist. A quick intro to the style, then a guided, relaxed painting experience. Just enjoy the process.
Paint Your Friend's Portrait
You paint them, they paint you. A colour-theory intro, then a portrait, a laugh, and probably a new favourite memory. Great for groups, date nights, or solo adventurers.
Persian Mosaic Tile
Step into centuries-old mosaic traditions from Iran and the Middle East. A short history of the craft, then your own coaster, mirror, or tile to take home. All materials included.
Stencil & Colour Print
Pattern meets colour. Layer, repeat, and build your own compositions with simple colour theory, then bring it together into a finished canvas piece you will actually want to keep.
Pottery & Clay
Get your hands dirty with hand-building and the basics of working clay into something honest and yours. Glaze it, fire it, and pick up a piece that holds the morning you made it.
Feel the Beat BodyCombat
A martial-arts-inspired shadow boxing class combining punches, kicks, and athletic movement into a powerful, rhythm-driven workout. Dynamic lighting, high-quality sound. No contact, just you versus your limits.
Candlelight Stretch & Meditation
Forty minutes of deep, mindful stretching and twenty of guided meditation to the sound of a live hang drum. Soft lighting, gentle sound. We close with a warm Persian-style tea.
Meditation & Mandala Colouring
A gentle guided meditation to quiet the mind, then a relaxed mandala colouring session to ease into a creative flow. Warm lighting, immersive music, and a Persian-style tea. All materials provided.
Therapeutic Mandala + Live Music
Colour, breathe, and slow down with live hang drum playing softly in the background. One of our most loved sessions. Come find out why.
Colour Theory, Level 1 & 2
Colour is everywhere: your wardrobe, your home, your art. Learn to use it with intention. Level 1 covers fundamentals; Level 2 brings it into interior design, fashion, and personal style.
Host Your Own
Got something worth sharing? Bring your workshop to our space. We handle the room, setup, and community. You bring the craft and the heart. Painters, ceramicists, musicians, yoga teachers, all welcome.
Get Togethers
Feel it. Hear it. Live it.
More than a night out. Immersive events inside The Atelier's audio-visual cube: music, art, culture, and community. Intimate spaces, warm energy, experiences that stay with you.
Saturday Night
Underground electronic music in an intimate warehouse setting. A curated lineup, a sound system that does it justice, warm lighting, and a crowd that is here for all the right reasons. Kept small on purpose.
Gallery Night
Local artists on the walls, live music in the background, and good people all around. We rotate monthly: painting, photography, mixed media, and installation.
Pop-Up Shop & Exhibition
Local makers, designers, and artists take over the space. Shop original art, handmade jewellery, and independent fashion from people in your city who love what they make.
Jam Night
Bring your instrument or borrow one of ours. Open, unscripted, always a good time. Bands, solo players, beatmakers, and curious newcomers, all welcome. No ego, just music.
Studio Sessions & Rentals
Your vision, our space, one team.
A complete creative space for content production, from social shoots to branded campaigns. Bring your idea and we will help you execute it with the right setup and support.
Content Creation Studio
Flexible lighting, curated backdrops, and an aesthetic that translates on camera. Built for photographers, videographers, creators, and brands who want character, not a white wall.
DJ & Live Recording
Record your set, lay down tracks, or capture a live performance in a room built with sound in mind. DJ recording, music production, band rehearsals, and performance shoots.
Podcast Studio
A quiet, well-treated room for clean audio. Perfect for podcasts, interviews, and digital content, from solo recordings to group discussions.
Our Story
Built for the ones who make things.
It started with a feeling: that the city had so many creative people, and so few spaces truly built for them.
Not a co-working office. Not a cookie-cutter art studio. Something with soul. Somewhere warm, intentional, and alive with the kind of energy that makes you want to create the moment you walk in.
The Atelier was founded by Jordan and Sam, a musician and a visual artist, out of a shared belief that creativity is better together. So we built the room: part art studio, part music workshop, part event venue, part content studio. Take a painting workshop on Tuesday, catch a gallery night on Friday, record a music video on Saturday.
We keep it intimate by choice. We care about who walks through our doors. More than just a space, this is a sanctuary. Come create, connect, and grow.

Our Values
Rooted in community. Driven by opportunity. Built for expression.
Peace, Love & Community
Creativity is most powerful when shared. Everything here is designed with connection in mind, open and inclusive. We offer subsidized rates for emerging artists and always make room for underrepresented voices.
Quality in Everything
Good lighting. Great sound. High-quality materials. Warm, knowledgeable facilitators. We hold everything to a standard, because we want you to feel the difference.
Culturally Rooted
Our aesthetic and programming draw from a rich mix of Eastern, Persian, and global artistic traditions. A space that celebrates ethnic art and the cultures that deserve a bigger stage.
The Atelier Awaits
A sanctuary, waiting inside.
Workshops, studio sessions, and get togethers, all behind one door. Free to join, membership granted upon approval.
