Retreat includes 6 nights accommodation and meals with only 9 places available
Welcome to my next beautifully curated Tasmanian Art Retreat - Where we will enjoy this quaint 100 year old hotel in the remote north east town of Winnaleah where you will enjoy your very own bedroom and a private detached bathroom across the hall in this beautiful old historic building, along with a full Art studio for us to create our landscapes. Excursions out and around this area to collect images and reference sketching - including the Bay of Fires and the lush rolling hills of this wonderful location.
Everything is included except your flights and art materials and 1 lunch and 1 dinner. We have made sure that you get a day to travel in and out plus a FULL 5 days in workshop mode with me after collecting your images and sketching reference material.
You will be comfortable in these beautiful bedrooms complete with luxury linens and a plush mattress topper for the best nights sleep. A light filled studio space complete with easels and boards for your use. Transfers between Launceston (airport or city) and the venue are included. At night, we dine in house (except for our final night) and can cater to suit all dietary needs. There are beautiful walks surrounding the hotel to truly experience the beauty of the area before or after class or sink into the Chesterfield couches with a wine, whiskey or a hot chocolate by the fire instead.
If you are keen to come on your own, don't worry, we have many people that join us on their own. Please note that if you opt for a shared room (twin single beds) you attract a $300 discount. Some rooms are located on the upper level and include stairs, so please contact us if you have mobility issues.
We look forward to welcoming you to a wonderful creative holiday.
