ABOUT LAB TWO6
A creative space for curious people.
LAB TWO6 is a Melbourne-based creative learning space for people who want to make, experiment and learn by doing.
Learn by making.
We believe creativity grows through trying things, making mistakes, sharing ideas and staying curious. LAB TWO6 brings together practical workshops, recurring creative sessions and a community of people who want to keep making.

WHO IT’S FOR
You don’t need to be an artist.
Some people come to learn a specific skill. Others come to meet people, restart a neglected practice or make something without worrying about whether it is perfect.
MELBOURNE / COMMUNITY
Creativity works better together.
LAB TWO6 is based in Melbourne and grows through workshops, recurring labs, events and collaborations.
The aim is to create a place where people can keep coming back — not just for a single class, but to build skills, projects and creative relationships over time.
FOUNDER
Built from a working creative practice.
LAB TWO6 was founded by Melbourne artist and educator Robert Scholten.
His practice spans painting, drawing, photography, design and creative education, with experience teaching across visual art, photography and media.
LAB TWO6 grew from a simple idea: creative learning should feel practical, welcoming, experimental and connected to the way artists and designers actually work.
