We can’t wait to welcome you to The Mattress Factory!

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

Workshop Dates: Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th December, 2026

Workshop Location: The Mattress Factory, Melbourne, Australia. This former mattress factory is the incredibly beautiful home of Lynda Gardener, and is one of the 22 homes from around the world that features in our book. It has recently undergone a complete reimagining and renovation, a transformation that Lynda has been keeping under wraps until the launch of the book! We’re incredibly excited that our workshop group will be the very first to step inside and experience Lynda’s newly transformed home in person, making this an extra special one-off workshop location.

Two Day Workshop Tickets: $2900 + GST.

Workshop Time: 8:30am - 6:00pm both days.

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: A lush morning tea, lunch and apéritif will be provided on both days. For lunch, we will be stepping out into Lynda’s local Fitzroy neighbourhood to enjoy two of the very best local restaurants. Morning tea and apéritif will be served at Lynda’s home with help from Michelle Crawford.

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