A gourmet healthy lunch is provided daily along with one evening meal we will have together to meet everyone and catch up possibly with old friends from a previous workshop. \nKnown as the ‘grand dame’ of The Bellarine\, this elegant town is a lot like a British seaside resort. Queenscliff  has wide boulevards\, stately churches\, and Victorian-era hotels. There are many great things to see and sketch that will keep you occupied well beyond the two workshop days if you so want. There is a black lighthouse (one of only 3 in the whole world)\, the historic fort\, historic railway\, vintage pier and shed\, an old fort\, endless grand homes and wonderful shops and cafes outside our front door to browse and sketch in. \n\n Each day after our Workshop and a quick lunch\, we will walk in the town to do an afternoon sketch together somewhere closeby and then you have free time to explore parts of Queenscliff. \nThe Weather in September is reasonably good: clear blue sunny skies usually. But if the weather turns we have our own indoor workshop space for daily lessons anyway.
