On the inspiring grounds of Piccolo Family Farm, a series of arts workshops and seminars are facilitated by skilled professional makers and artists across various unique creative disciplines. The workshops will centre around the concept of Place, and how makers and creatives evoke and communicate Place through their craft. Throughout the day, facilitators and participants have the opportunity to gather with the other participants, fostering creative networking and the exchange of ideas and thoughtful conversation.

Speaking Place was founded to provide access to world-class artistic skills for regional audiences. It also has a strong focus on ongoing impact, encouraging further creative collaboration and artistic exploration beyond the Speaking Place weekend.

‘Place’ is a generous topic of exploration. It gives artists and audiences an infinite world of discussion and discovery of how their craft ‘speaks place’ and opens them up to a journey of creative understanding and collaboration.

Workshop ticket includes welcome coffee, lunch, and admission to the Speaking Place Festival on Sunday 25th October; where each workshop will showcase their craft throughout the day.

Workshop participant also have the opportunity to add a ticket to the Speaking Place dinner on Saturday 24th October – Join us for the Speaking Place dinner; an opportunity to network with other Speaking Place workshop participants and facilitators, presentations and keynote addresses.
