Arts & Craft Newsletter - Campbell Town Tasmania - January 2026
Edition 22 | January 2026
From the editor:
Happy New Year!! May 2026 be healthy, fruitful and just how you’d like it to be.
At Harmony on High Street, we have changed our whole workshop area and are looking forward to increasing capacity and activities for art this year. Thank you to everyone for your support – especially in the past few months as demand has generally increased. We appreciate your interest in creativity.
Don’t miss our 4 x weekly January Kids Art Club sessions. We’ll be working on a Painting Project from start to finish. On Tuesdays 9-10am, or Thursdays 1-2pm. Begins next week!
We’re starting a 3 x month Paint n Sip trial later this month.
One of our local Campbell Town residents, Penny and her son Oliver have been very busy creating for a magical and enchanting exhibition called Folklore Faeries. You’re invited to attend their exhibition opening event on Sunday 11 Jan, 2.30pm start.
You’ll find more details on the above, below.
We look forward to enjoying lots of creating in our community in 2026. If you are interested in learning, gathering or creating and you’d like more, something different, or another day – please let us know and we will see what we can do.
Happy Creating,
Lee-Anne Peters

Introducing 3 x trial opportunities for
PAINT N SIP
here in Campbell Town
I’ve tried to create 3 x different options, on different days of the week and times of the afternoon to see if something may appeal and suit you - if you’re interested in such an activity.
The bookings to these trial sessions will help me determine if there is enough interest to continue and refine these sessions moving forward.
They are BYO drinks and snacks.
Sessions are guided step-by-step, or if you’d like to go at your own pace, you certainly are welcome to.
You can learn more about these Paint n Sip sessions in store or online here: https://www.leeannepeters.com/collections/classes
