Leap and Wander Creative Workshops will help you discover your inner potter or artist. Beginners and novices this is for you! My workshops are social and supportive and you will make or paint pieces you will be proud of and impress your family and friends. There are many different workshops to choose from and all the details are on my website. You can come by yourself, with a friend or contact me to organise a date just for your group. Pottery: You will hand build your pieces not use a pottery wheel. The studio is on our country property in the Derwent Valley an easy 35-minute drive from Hobart. All workshop places must be booked ahead.

Tasmania's best nine-hole golf club is situated in the township of New Norfolk only 30 minutes from Hobart. The undulating course is well watered and professionally presented with spectacular views up the Derwent Valley towards Mt Field National Park and over to the Wellington Ranges National Park. Affiliated golfers with a golf link handicap from interstate are welcome to play and green fees are only $20.
