Service Description

Brisbane artists Kate Quinn and Emily Day are thrilled to be hosting a luxury three day art retreat in Tasmania's stunning rural landscape, 90 minutes from Launceston. Running from the 13-16 January 2025, this very special immersion in art and nature will leave you feeling rested, refreshed and inspired. 13th: We will pick you up from Launceston or Launceston airport at 3.30pm, and bring you to the stunning ten bedroom, ten bathroom restored hotel, to settle into your rooms, followed by welcome drinks and a stunning 2 course dinner. 14th: We will visit a glorious local dahlia farm, with the option of picking your own bouquet. After lunch, in the afternoon, we will start to work on our floral still life paintings in the comfy workshop space. 15th: We will finish off our paintings, and take a beautiful outing to the 'mirror lake' for a wander outdoors, to stretch our legs and get some fresh Tassie air. 16th: After a lovely breakfast, will drop you back to Launceston by 11am for your trip home (your flights should be booked for midday and after). This retreat is suitable for beginners, as well as those with hobby painting experience. There will be plenty of time for you to rest, chat and relax during our retreat. All non-painting activities are completely optional. Transport to and from Launceston, all meals and snacks, non-alcoholic drinks, art supplies and accommodation is included in the price. You will have to arrange and book your own flights/ transport to and from Launceston. Emily and Kate will divide the small class into 'acrylics' and 'oils' painting groups, and will provide creative guidance in a non-judgemental, kind and supportive way. You will walk away with a beautiful still life painting and a bunch of new skills to keep developing your practice at home. We cannot wait to meet you in Tasmania for an unforgettable experience!
