the workshop

Spend a day by the stunning Hawkesbury River celebrating the fascinating world of Australian mushrooms and fungi. The day starts with a mini foraging adventure led by a fungi expert, where you'll discover local species and learn about the strange and fascinating histories of fungi—how towering fungal giants once dominated the landscape and the eerie behaviour of zombie ants. Central Coast artist and designer Leonie Loewe introduces our first watercolour painting session, guiding you through simple techniques to capture the textures and forms of fungi followed by a beautiful morning tea. Learn modern watercolour methods, colour tonality and brushwork under Leonie’s expert guidance. By the end of the day, you’ll leave with your own stunning piece of artwork and new watercolour painting skills. No prior experience is necessary—watercolours and all materials will be provided. The day also includes morning tea, lunch, and an afternoon refreshment and take-home gift.
