An Upper Clutha Community Arts Council Project
22-26 April, 2025
Wanaka Autumn Art School
2025 Classes will be posted in early November.
There will be a range of classes that will bring our tutors to you ready for a creative week. This is a great opportunity to step off the world to learn new skills and create something unique.
These are small intimate classes with skilled tutors, set within the dramatic Central Otago landscape. The classes are designed to give participants chances to shine. Beginners and experienced students welcomed. There are many opportunities to meet new friends, socialise as well as learn about the different tutors.
Information will be available on the website from December and enrolments will open in the first week of January 2025. We encourage you to enrol early as classes fill quickly.
We are using an electronic booking system for enrolment: the link will be on our website. When you enter your details please ensure that your email is correct so that you can receive updates and important information.
Confirmation of enrolment will be sent out shortly after registration.
We hope to see you here
2025 DATES CHANGE TO 22-26 APRIL
PROGRAMME
All classes, unless indicated otherwise, will run from Monday to Friday with registration from 8.30am on the first day. Normal hours are 9.30am to 4.30pm although these are flexible according to class activities.
A social hour will be held at the end of classes each day – a chance to meet participants on other courses and hear from a number of our tutors discussing their work.
On Thursday evening there will be a Platter and Pinot social time at the College at a cost of $25. Bookings for this must be made prior to the school. Tickets can be bought as a separate event along with your class enrolment. Friends are also very welcome.
A Mini-market will be held following classes on Wednesday. Both tutors and participants are invited to sell anything they produce themselves.
