Creative Hobby Holidays

Spin yourself into elegant embroidery, gorgeous glasswork or picturesque portraits on one of our creative hobby holidays of Australia.

Stock up on the latest craft supplies at the annual Tasmanian Craft Fair in Deloraine, from 30 October to 02 November 2009. This hugely popular event offers an enormous range of goodies to get your fingers into, from kaleidoscope-making to egg carving and candle wicking. Unpack your gear at the Launceston Country Club Villas and give those legs a workout with a spot of tennis or round of golf.

Unleash your creative beast at an adult art class with a difference in Adelaide. Grab some friends and chill out with nibblies, music and wine while you use the supplied painting materials to reinvent expressionism. With your masterpiece tucked under your arm, arrive at the equally stunning Hotel Richmond and celebrate with your creative muses sipping cocktails at the chic bar.

How can sand turn into a work of art? There’s no magic trick required, just do an ‘off-the-street’ glassworks class in Canberra. Trained glass artists conduct workshops on how to fuse sheets of coloured glass, but if you prefer hands off, watch from above and visit the shop. Take a stroll back to Rydges Capital Hill and relax in the garden atrium with a whole new appreciation for your glass of wine.

There's more needles than haystacks at the Victorian tapestry workshop in Melbourne, with workshops running from September through to December on knitting, tapestry, pom pom making and crochet. Looking around is fun too, with a guided workshop tour where you can see artists in action and finished tapestries. End your day at the Amora Riverwalk Melbourne and stroll down to the Bridge Road shopping precinct.
