Do Studio Spaces Include Supplies With a Private Hire?
Yes, many creative art studios in Melbourne do offer supplies, but it depends on the studio and the type of session or booking. Here's a quick breakdown of what you might expect:
What Creative Studios Often Provide:
- Basic art materials: easels, drawing boards, brushes, paints, pencils, aprons
- Craft supplies: glue guns, scissors, paper, markers, cutting mats
- Specialist equipment: screen printing setups, pottery wheels, or photography lighting (for mixed-use creative spaces)
- Furniture & layout: tables, stools, wash-up stations, and drying racks
- Workshop kits: if they host events, expect curated kits for painting, life drawing, collage, etc.
What They Usually Don’t Include Without Prior Booking:
- High-end tools (like digital tablets or custom canvas sizes)
- Personal sketchbooks or specialty items (you’re often expected to bring your own for serious work)
- Replenishable stock (some venues charge extra for paints, clay, or canvases beyond basic use)
Check venues like Bighouse Arts in the Northern Suburbs. This multi-use venue supports everything from painting and drawing to experimental art forms. With its strong community arts focus and session-based pricing, it’s highly likely they provide shared supplies or materials for creative workshops.

Amazing venue with a wide range of versatile shooting locations. I loved working here and would absolutely shoot here again. Thank you!
Natural light from open windows. Big open studio space was lovely to host our event. Larissa (studio manager) was very helpful, helping us during bump in to carry up our equipment, and providing clear instructions on locating the studio and accessing the space.
