Description
There's a sense of mystery around the ancient arts of blacksmithing, wool dyeing and horning, so it's fitting to experience these intriguing old disciplines in a rich historical setting.
Garden Hill's Ancient Arts Revival will be housed in the gallery and museum's spectacular collection of traditional rural sheds, nestled in the Lost World Valley and set against the mountains of the Lamington National Park.
The professionally-led workshops - including blacksmithing: horn and pewter; spinning, dyeing and weaving; bookbinding; whip making; drawing and sandstone sculpture - are an exceptional extended opportunity to explore these old arts.
Classes will culminate in a collectors and artist's exhibition on Saturday. Everyone is welcome on this day to enjoy gallery sales, demonstrations and displays of ancient arts and bush crafts, memorabilia and old farm tools, as well as food and market stalls and a walk in the country garden.
Other Information
Children:Children are welcome.
Disabled:

Further Details:
This is an inaugural event and it has developed from a demand for longer workshops from participants in the "Arts in the Olives Festival". The historical sheds, which have been saved and relocated to McGhee's' and seemed the ideal location for such an event. In the years to come it is planned to extend the Ancient Arts Revival festival to include other facets such as endangered and rare farm animals and demonstrations of old farming methods.
