Place-Based Masterclasses around Lutruwita/Tasmania
Welcome to Oatlands Art Retreat, an art retreat originating in Oatlands and designed for artists of all levels to come together and work side-by-side and gain new creative tools and methods.
In 2026, Oatlands Art Retreat is extending beyond its home base to offer a series of place-based masterclasses around lutruwita/Tasmania, starting with a botanical Midwinter Masterclass in the capital, Nipaluna/Hobart.
We are excited to be taking masterclasses to new locations, connecting artists with inspiring places, communities, and fostering creative opportunities throughout Tasmania.
Midwinter Masterclass
in Nipaluna/Hobart
At the centre of this year's offering is a full-day still life/botanical Masterclass with artist and educator Maggie Mey Jeffries.
Designed to develop observation skills, composition, and confidence in working with botanical illustration and painting, participants will be guided through intuitive color mixing, layering, and brush techniques using charcoal, acrylics and oils.
With personalised, professional support, the emphasis is on slowing down and allowing each work to evolve with care and attention.
