Frequently asked questions
I don’t have a creative bone in my body but I want to get away. How will I cope?
This is perfect, a fresh mind, with no preconceived ideas. So often people come up with an idea and get stuck, because you are open-minded and want to try something new, you will be fabulous. Sally’s superpower is to put you at ease and she will give you clear instructions and take you through the processes step-by-step.
Where is this Winnaleah place?
Winnaleah is in Tasmania’s remote North-East. Up a bit past the MtB mecca of the town, Derby. See here
Winnaleah is nestled in the illustrious Dorset Local Government Area, this gem is located a mere 38 kilometres northeast of Scottsdale. If you’re wondering about the population, it’s a bustling metropolis of 225 lucky souls, according to the 2016 census—because who needs a crowd when you have character?
In this enchanting little corner of the world, the local attractions are nothing short of spectacular.
So, pack your bags and make your way to Winnaleah, where the population is small, but the charm is off the charts!
Do I have to do all the workshops?
No worries at all! Sally gets it if you need a little downtime during one of the sessions. Just give her a heads-up in advance, and you’re all set!
I have never done any printmaking before, will I be ok?
These printmaking holidays will provide an introductory level of printmaking for you if you feel you are a beginner. However, experienced printmakers will be guided to work independently. Everyone will enjoy the beautiful and peaceful country setting as a source of creative inspiration.
Where do you recommend to stay?
Accommodation is not included and there are three options for you to choose from:
- The Winnaleah Recreation Ground has free camping
- BnB’s are highly concentrated in the nearby mountain biking town of Derby, just a 6-minute drive away
- Derby Lodge 4 Cascade Dam Road, Derby
I am gluten, and lactose intolerant have an egg allergy and am also a vegan will I starve?
Hell no! Sally is a vegetarian and gets it! However, please, please let us know when you place your registration.
