Arts & Craft Newsletter - Campbell Town Tasmania - September 2025

Edition 18 | September 2025

From the editor:

After a few quiet months of the Art & Craft Group Sessions I have decided to reduce our meetups to once a month now. We will meet 10am-12pm on the 2^nd Tuesday each month. It doesn’t cost anything and you’re welcome to attend. Just BYO activity to do. The space is open, friendly and accepting of your skill level.

Thank you to everyone who attended my long-awaited Landscape & Old Church Painting Retreat recently in Ross. We had such a great time. Thank you to Emily from Riverview at Ross for instigating this retreat earlier in the year. A few changes will be made, but I plan to host Painting Retreats again in April, June and August 2026. Details coming soon.

Our opening hours have now extended back to our normal hours of 9am-5pm until next winter. We’re open daily.

Campbell Town Streetscape works are due to commence this month, so there will be some disruption to parking, speed and accessibility for the next several months. They’re not planning to start in our end of the street until early 2026, so we’re hoping you’ll still shop, attend our events and visit, and if we can help you with possible delivery, online sales etc to make it easier and still remain open, then please let us know.

Exciting school holiday activities are happening, including a more advanced clay workshop for children with; clay experience and a good attention span. See the options below.

Cory and I deeply appreciate your support and enthusiasm about what we offer,

Hopefully we’ll see you again in September,

Lee-Anne Peters
