2026 Workshop Series

After a huge 2025 Workshop Series (thanks to a grant from Create NSW) and the REGENERATION REIMAGINE RENEW Exhibition Series (currently at Gunnedah) continuing through to the end of the year, we are taking a rest from a larger workshop series while still focusing on our professional development.

We will be running a series of short ‘For Members By Members’ workshops including printing, clay and stitching at this stage (stay tuned!) as well as another weekend workshop in November with Helle Jorgensen (details to be announced.) We are off this weekend for our Art Camp at Tumbledown – always a hive of creativity and fun.

Members always have first dibs so to keep in touch join us, only $35 a year, (click here for the form) then watch out for details of what’s on each month in our shared minutes or join in the fun at our meetings.
