Creative Workshops

Workshops are offered by arrangement. It can be an individual workshop for one-to-one tuition, or for small groups up to 8 participants (larger can be accommodated on request). We host groups for special celebrations andcan include a garden walk including a visit to our 100+-year old woolshed.

Photo Gallery

Everything here was made at Mahoe Hills, most of it by people who arrived saying they were't artistic. Eco-printed paper and cloth, felted wool from our own alpacas, hand-cut mosaic. No experience needed, all materials provided, and you take your piece home the same day.

Testmonials

What people remember isn't the technique — it's the day. Small groups, unhurried company, and something of your own to take home

I arrived certain I wasn't an artistic person, and Marion had that undone inside ten minutes. There were only six of us, so nobody got left behind, and the afternoon simply vanished. Meeting the alpacas whose fleece we'd been working with was the part I didn't expect. I came home with a cushion cover I'd made myself.

"Chasing Sunsets" is a mesmerizing art piece that captures the fleeting beauty of dusk as the sun dips below the horizon. With vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple seamlessly blending into the darkening sky, it evokes a sense of tranquility and wonder.
