Once a thriving hotel in the late 1800's, the former Engineers Arms Hotel has had many owners and a variety businesses under its roof over the years. More recently purchased by a well-known Maryborough lady Anne Nioa, the Engineers Arms Hotel has been brought back to its former glory now housing accommodation for the owners upstairs, a restaurant in the back courtyard, hairdresser and massage salons, a liqueur bar in the front and in what was once known as the "Stables", an art gallery and studio named Art in Arms.

Wine Glasses are not the only item that can be painted
For a mere price of $35.00 you can organise a group of your friends to partake in learning the art and having fun in painting two wine glasses whilst sampling the luscious range of liqueurs and enjoying a yummy cheese platter. There is a minimum of four people per booking; however I don't think that would be hard to achieve. Glasses are fired so they are dishwasher safe.
Add a personal touch to the Jam Jar
Wine glasses are not the only item that can be painted. For one who makes jams and condiments, Hayley awakened by imagination as I noticed plain jars, which most of us throw in the recycling bin once their contents have been used, were also being painted. Wouldn't it be lovely to give a bottle of strawberry jam to your friend with a strawberry painted on the outside as an added personal touch.
Gifts for sale
As well as glasses and jars, Art in Arms also sells other gifts such as paintings and cards.
