Join former Hadley’s Art Prize finalist Julie Payne for a drawing workshop at the beautiful Art Farm Birchs Bay, just a short drive south of Nipaluna/Hobart.

Whether you’re new to drawing or just want a few enjoyable hours sketching with others, Julie will guide you through sketchbook practice—from capturing the landscape to exploring composition and tone.

An event presented in partnership with the Hadley’s Art Prize held during the 2026 exhibition of Hadley's Art Prize finalists.
