Forestvale Design Centre - Boat Building and Art School

Travel Guide - We have developed a number of courses that may present the hands on challenge and interest that you have been looking for. We have recruited Tasmanian and International artists and crafts people to run programs including traditional North American cedar strip and canvas canoe building, kayak building, wood skills for beginners, oil painting, the basics of house construction, sculpture carving and many more to be confirmed. The courses suit all levels of experience with class sizes that are small and intimate allowing all students the opportunity for personalised attention. There is much to learn from the experienced staff in a safe, relaxed environment. We have a 220m² gallery, a full wood working shop, naturally lit spaces for painting and a large shed for the boat building and wood working activities. We are situated on 300 acres of beautiful covenanted forest and grazing land. Our property has an abundance of wildlife and is a bird watchers paradise. We also have a resident white wallaby and deer are seen occasionally passing through. We serve fresh and delicious home cooked meals from local produce, our vegetable gardens and blueberry and fruit tree orchard. Come see us and for a remote, unique experience.
