Overview
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to slow down, get your hands dirty and create something entirely from the earth beneath your feet?
What if you could spend a weekend camping, exploring, making art out of wild clay, meeting curious people and reconnecting with the land, without needing to be an artist?
Join The Earthen Explorer for a small, immersive earthen art retreat in Lithgow, NSW, centred around nature, creativity, curiosity…

What if you could spend a weekend camping, exploring, making art out of wild clay, meeting curious people and reconnecting with the land, without needing to be an artist?
Join The Earthen Explorer for a small, immersive earthen art retreat in Lithgow, NSW, centred around nature, creativity, curiosity and community.
What is Earthen Art?... it is sculptural relief art made from clay plaster (clay, sand and water - absolutely no nasties)
Your individual artwork will become one piece of a collective installation that will eventually come together as an artwork for the community-led hempcrete building, Lithgow Area Women's Shed and Community Building, that arose out of the 2019/bushfires.
You each get to take home your very own, The Earthen Explorer Kit, to continue creating at home with your own local clays :)
So, what might Lithgow earth become when a group of people unites to create?
Come and find out.
Your weekend includes camping, shared meals, all materials and tools, an Earthen Explorer Kit, guided creative activities and plenty of time to explore, experiment and simply be.
No art experience needed. Just bring your curiosity.
