A weekend of art and creativity in Walcha ~ October 3
and 4

Experience the creative spirit of Walcha at Create in Walcha, a hands-on arts event bringing local artisans together to share their skills through a range of inspiring workshops and classes.

Held over two days, Create in Walcha offers a choice of half-day, one-day and two-day workshops, giving participants the opportunity to learn directly from local creators in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

Details of each workshop, including the artisan leading the session, are provided below.

https://walchabusinessgroup.com.au/create-in-walcha/

Whether you’re looking to try something new, develop your creative skills or simply enjoy a creative weekend away, there’s plenty to choose from.

Come for a day or make a weekend of it. You can choose a single workshop, combine several workshops across the weekend and leave time for some spare time, or fill your Saturday and Sunday with a full creative program. The hour-long break between morning and afternoon sessions gives you time to explore Walcha, visit the galleries and shops, grab a bite to eat or simply enjoy the town.

And because Create in Walcha falls on the long weekend, why not stay a little longer? Take your time on Monday to explore more of Walcha’s local attractions, history, shops, cafés and beautiful natural surroundings before heading home.

Planning to stay? Find accommodation options at walchansw.com.au/where-to-stay and make a weekend of it.

Workshop Times & Location

Sessions will run from 9.30am–12.30pm and 1.30pm–4.30pm on Saturday and Sunday at:

                                         Walcha Central School
154 North Street, Walcha

Saturday Evening Dinner

Saturday evening will provide an opportunity for participants to relax and chat with the artists over a special dinner at Walcha Bowling Club. Bookings are required for catering purposes. Dinner and drinks will be at each participant’s own expense.
