Indulge in a beautifully catered, Six full days & nights of creativity.
Time to Let your soul
breathe and your spirit explore.
During the week, the facilitators will introduce various media to try
in short informative workshops i.e. grounds, collage, and layering. However, it is an opportunity for artists
to work with and learn from each other. (I will discuss areas of interest
with each individual at time of booking, so that a time table of workshops
can be inserted, where appropriate, over the week). Throughout the week, we will take short breaks to examine and talk about our
progress and share process, in a non-judgmental format.
The property offers numerous vistas within walking distance, or you
can visit some of the scenic spots, a short trip by car. Maps of immediate
area will be available.
At night, we will choose to; explore each others portfolios, view
interesting & informative DVD presentations, enjoy the expansive night
sky around a bush bon fire and generally experience the relaxed &
creative atmosphere.
No experience necessary, however it is an advantage.
