Arts & Craft Newsletter - Campbell Town Tasmania - July 2025
Edition 16 | July 2025
From the editor:
Thank you for participating in our usual activities and one-off workshops during June. It is always fun to explore, create and challenge ourselves.
This month we are featuring some of Richard Klekociuk’s latest drawings in a pop up exhibition. These works are highly detailed and are inspired by the Liffey Valley. On show until 23 July.
We have a plethora of activities and workshops coming up in July as we dive into our biggest school holiday fun yet. It’s not just us either, you’ll notice on the calendar (at the end of this newsletter) that there are things happening in Ross too.
We would love to see you, your children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren or friends during July. Be inspired to sketch, paint, clay play and so much more.
Keep an eye out for more information regarding our school holiday-long Treasure Hunt throughout Campbell Town & Ross. All will be further revealed this week on our Facebook Page with our weekend spectacular on 12 & 13 July (some activities are weather permitting).
Harmony on High Street will be temporarily closed from Thu 24 till Wed 30 July for a short break, to catch up on errands and to enjoy the arrival of our first grandchild. We will reopen as usual on Thu 31 July from 9am-4pm daily.
May your paint never dry up!
Lee-Anne Peters
