Itinerary

Ignite Your Creativity: Your retreat begins the moment you arrive in Maleny. Your first workshop will start with a relaxed lunch at 12.30pm, the perfect opportunity to meet your fellow creators. Masterclass Workshops: We are thrilled to present a spectacular lineup of creative experiences, including a rare opportunity you won’t want to miss. Eco-Printing on Silk Scarves with Kim Herringe – Discover the magical alchemy of botanical printing with acclaimed local printmaker Kim Herringe. You will harvest local leaves and eucalyptus bark, tightly binding them into luxurious silk. Through the ancient process of steaming, you will extract the plant's natural pigments, unfolding a completely unique, wearable piece of fine textile art. Charcoal Drawing Masterclass with renowned Australian artist Peter Hudson. As an Archibald Prize finalist widely celebrated for his deep, evocative landscape and portrait work, Peter never teaches public classes. This is a genuinely rare, once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn the raw power of charcoal shading, form, and expression directly from a master.
