We can’t wait to welcome you to The Bowmont!

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

Workshop Dates: Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th November, 2026

Workshop Location: The Bowmont, Franklin, Tasmania/Lutruwita (half an hour south of Hobart). There's a reason (many reasons, in fact) that I keep returning to The Bowmont for my photography workshops, and why it was one of the first homes we wanted to include in our book, Factory Convent Schoolhouse Home. Beginning life as a bank, The Bowmont has a fascinating story, culminating in its current life as a creative event space, stunning accommodation, and home to our book's wordsmith, Michelle Crawford. Of course it’s only fitting that we host a special edition book launch workshop within its historic, reimagined walls. It’s an endlessly inspiring space for two days of learning and celebrating!

Two Day Workshop Tickets: $2900 + GST.

Workshop Time: 8:30am - 5:30pm Wednesday, 9:30am - 7:30pm Thursday (including a special book launch evening soirée).

Guest Speakers: Lynda Gardener and Michelle Crawford - Lynda Gardener, stylist and co-author, and Michelle Crawford, writer of our book, Factory Convent Schoolhouse Home.

Suitable For: All photography lovers and levels - including small business owners keen to up-skill and create their own content, absolute beginners ready to dive in and take on new creative challenges, photography lovers wanting to step up and improve on their skills, those wanting to become professional photographers, and fellow photography professionals already in the field who are interested in furthering their industry insight, networking opportunities and creative nourishment. As a teacher it's my absolute priority to provide value for everyone, at all photography levels.

Catering: Michelle Crawford, wearer of many impressive hats, will also be spoiling us with her delicious cooking, featuring the very best of Tassie’s local produce. A lush morning tea, lunch and apéritif will be provided on both days.

Thursday Evening Book Launch Soirée: On the Thursday evening after finishing up the workshop, we will be transforming The Bowmont into an evening Soirée to host our very first book launch event for Lynda Gardener and my new book, Factory Convent Schoolhouse Home. Your workshop ticket will include a copy of the book, plus entry to attend this very special intimate event. We will be celebrating in style at The Bowmont, one of the homes featured in the book, with drinks, nibbles, a storytelling session about the making of our book and a book signing. The Book Launch Soirée will kick off at 5:30pm and wind up at 7:30pm. We can’t wait to celebrate our book launch with you!

NB: We will also be releasing a small number of seperate tickets for those who'd like to join us in Tassie at The Bowmont for just the evening book launch soirée. Watch this space - I'll be sharing details and ticket release dates for that, and the rest of our book launch events, in the next week or so. 

Please Note: Airfares, transportation to and from the workshop and accommodation are not included.
