Top 5 Creative Master Classes in Minsk 2026: Where to go for Inspiration?

The world is changing, and so are the ways we relax. In 2026, residents of Minsk are increasingly choosing creativity instead of the usual trips to the cinema or cafe. Creative master classes have ceased to be just a hobby; it is a new kind of leisure, an "intellectual bar" where, instead of cocktails, they mix paints and emotions.

But how not to get lost in the variety of offers? We have compiled an honest ranking of the top 5 directions that will be at the peak of popularity this season. Spoiler: you will definitely find something for your soul.

1. Creating items from gypsum and concrete

The undisputed leader of this year. The aesthetics of minimalism and Scandinavian style have taken over our Instagram feeds, and now our interiors. Working with gypsum is a meditative process accessible to everyone.

What will you do?

You mix a special solution (it looks like thick sour cream), add pigments to create marble streaks or a "terrazzo" effect, and pour it into silicone molds. In 30-40 minutes, magic happens: the liquid mass turns into solid stone. After removing from the mold, the item is sanded and coated with a protective compound.

• Difficulty: ⭐ (1/5)—even a child can do it.
• Result: Stylish trays, jewelry boxes, vases for dried flowers, jewelry stands.
• Time: 2–2.5 hours, you take the item immediately.
• Where to try: In our studio, there is a gypsum master class, where we teach not just to pour, but to create complex textures.

2. Candle Making (Aroma Candles)

In the era of stress and the eternal race, creating your own candle is a ritual of slowing down. Only natural soy or coconut wax is used, which melts at a low temperature and is safe for the skin (can be used as massage oil). Candle making is both a creative process and an element of aromatherapy.

The magic of scents

The most interesting part is selecting the perfume composition. "Tobacco & Vanilla", "Fresh Linen", "Sea Salt & Orchid". You become a perfumer creating the atmosphere of your home. The finished candle is decorated with dried flowers, crystals, or a wooden wick that crackles cozily when burning.

Why is candle making so popular?

Firstly, it's a great handmade gift—you create an author's item with a favorite scent. Secondly, you can take the finished candle right away. Thirdly, the process is safe for children from 10 years old, so it's a great family format.

You can learn more about the process on the candle master class page.

3. Fluid Art (Liquid Acrylic)

An excellent choice for those who are afraid of the "blank canvas" and worry that they cannot draw. You don't need to draw in the usual sense here! Fluid Art is a technique of controlling the flow of color that originated in Mexico and conquered the whole world.

You mix acrylic paints with a special medium, add a couple of drops of silicone oil, and pour this cocktail onto the canvas. The result is always unpredictable and always beautiful. This is pure art therapy: you learn to let go of control and trust the process. Learn more on the Fluid Art master class page.

4. Sculpture Painting (Texture Painting)

A trend for lovers of volume. A special texture paste, palette knives, and gold leaf are used. You create relief paintings: flowers, abstraction, mountains. Such a painting looks very interior and expensive, adding "air" and style to any room.

5. Oil and Acrylic Painting on Canvas

A classic that does not lose its relevance. A painting master class is suitable for those who dreamed of painting their first picture. Under the guidance of a professional artist, you create a full-fledged work in 2-3 hours. Landscapes, still lifes, abstraction—choose a theme to your liking.

The "Wine & Art" format is especially popular—painting with a glass of wine. This is a great option for corporate events and bachelorette parties. The atmosphere is relaxed, the music is playing, the paints are flowing... and you forget about everything in the world.

How to choose "your" master class?

The advice is simple: listen to yourself. Want to relax and not think about the result? Your choice is Fluid Art. Want to create a useful thing for the home? Go for gypsum or candles. Want volume and relief? Texture painting is waiting for you. Want a classic painting on the wall? Canvas painting.
