Overview

A Meaningful Art and Travel Experience

This is much more than an art class. It is an opportunity to connect with creativity, place, landscape and story through the eyes of a practicing artist.

You could be an art lover, a curious traveller, a creative spirit, or simply looking for a meaningful experience during your visit to the Waitaki region. This intimate small-group experience invites you behind the scenes of a professional artistic practice, to learn and connect.

This unique opportunity allows art enthusiasts and curious travelers alike to explore the creative process, create a personal artwork to take home and be guided through the local creative environment.

Guided by Beth, discover the landscapes that inspire her work and enjoy a local walk through the historic area. This small-group experience promises a connection to creativity and place that few visitors ever encounter.
