Art adventure to Satellite Island
Dates: 31st August – 4th of September.
This is an exclusive opportunity to spend five days of full creative immersion on our very own Tasmanian Island. We will be responding to this spectacular, rugged landscape through drawing, painting, sculpture, photography and writing. You don’t need any experience and you can approach the workshop anyway you choose. I will be on hand guiding you through each step of the way.
Guests from across the world have joined Atelier by Dominique Sutton in France, Africa and Australia including painters, photographers, writers, and sculptors, with plenty to do for non-painting partners too.
So who am I
I am Dominique Sutton and I will be your tutor and guide. I am an artist and have extensive teaching experience. I have hosted and taught many workshops and retreats so you are in good hands.
Satellite Island.
There is so much or so little to do on Satellite Island. Sleep on the water’s edge at the Boathouse, shuck wild oysters off the rocks, dive for abalone and urchin, cast in a line from a deck chair on the jetty, feed the deer, watch the sunset across the Southern Ocean from Last Glimpse Point, see the Southern Lights, stargaze, light a fire on the pebble beach at Dreamy Bay, explore the island on foot, by kayak, canoe or stand up paddle board, enjoy a long lunch at the Boathouse with just the sound of the water lapping, take the rock shelf walk and collect wild oysters for lunch, fossick for shells, read a book on the Summer House deck, take a picnic to the top of the island with 360 degree views of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, roll out a yoga mat at dawn on the Boathouse jetty and in winter sit in front of a crackling fire at the Summer House with amazing views of the snow capped world heritage Mt Hartz mountain range.
All that and the opportunity to paint, draw, sculpt, photograph and write your experience.
