Watercolour Workshop: Paint a Fairy Wren

Spend a beautiful day immersed in watercolour, nature and creativity with award-winning visual artist Polla Posavec in the Makerspace.

Your subject is a quintessentially Australian pairing: an enchanting Variegated Fairy Wren nestled among the flowers and foliage of Emu Bush. With Polla’s gentle guidance, you’ll learn new watercolour techniques while bringing this charming scene to life.

There’s no rushing or pressure — just a beautiful setting, good company, delicious food and a whole day to slow down and create. Come on your own or bring a friend. Expect a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, plenty of creative conversation and time to completely switch off.
