Escape the ordinary, immerse yourself in creativity, hand-make something unique and embrace a new skill at Woodfordia’s Artisan Camp.

Leading up to the annual Planting festival, Woodfordia’s Artisan Camp is an organic gathering of artists, artisans and other creative folk hosting immersive masterclasses. courses range from two – six days and are all presented at beautiful Woodfordia.

The classes, diverse, light-hearted, skill-building intensives, offer participants the opportunity to learn or hone silversmithing, woodcarving, songwriting, sustainable gardening, oil painting, natural skincare, cheese making, traditional Maori basket weaving and even improvised comedy among many others.

Each class culminates in the development of a creative product, artwork or performance on the last night of the camp. Participants and facilitators are invited to stay at Woodfordia for the duration of the masterclass series. Camping and catering packages are also available.

Vale Des Ritchie
One of the world's special humans Des Ritchie passed away last night aged 91. Des was our President for 17 years and so much more to many. Woodfordia would not be the place it is today without him. We were so blessed to know and love him. He helped not only the trees to grow, but all of us. Our deepest sympathy to Jillian and all the clan.
