Printmaking & Bookmaking Workshops April-June 2026
The first half of 2026 is a short one for workshops as I’m taking February, March and most of April away from teaching so I can focus on making new work for my solo exhibition later this year.
Dates for the second half of the year will be released in May. If something you love isn’t on the April-June list, or is already FULL, click the waitlist email link to register interest so I can plan extra dates and later sessions.
Whether you are new to the craft of printmaking, or wanting to extend your current creative skills, please join me in a small-group printmaking workshop held in my own private art studio in beautiful Maleny. Maleny is nestled in the heart of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, just over an easy hours drive north of Brisbane.
ALL workshops are INCLUSIVE OF ALL TOOLS and MATERIALS. That means that you don’t need to pre-purchase anything. Feel free to bring your own tools and kit if you already have them.
You will leave your workshop with handouts and information about what and where to buy, to a range of different budget options, to enhance your newly acquired skills beyond our workshop.
Workshops maintain an intimate setting with a maximum of 5 or 6 students, depending on the specific workshop. This ensures that everyone receives individualised attention, fostering a comfortable and engaging experience.
Availability for each workshop is highlighted. This page is manually updated, so the displayed numbers may not reflect real-time availability when you make your booking.
In the event that a workshop is already at full capacity when you enrol, I will notify you and add your name to the workshop’s waitlist.
Workshops are organised in 6-month blocks, with additional dates added as workshops reach full capacity, dependent on time availability.
If a workshop is FULL, click the ‘wait list’ link. It’s not uncommon for cancellations to happen. When they do, I work through the wait list, in order of when people were added, to fill the spot.
