About Creative Adventure Downunder

This three day weekend retreat is all about immersing yourself in classes hosted by premier tutors of the papercraft industry today.

Each year we strive to bring to you an array of classes that are sure to get your creative juices flowing. This retreat is a busy weekend with back to back classes. Saturday night is set aside as Crop Night should you choose to do so, lots of fun to be had at crop night. We've found that participants enjoy sitting with their friends and the tutors while they work on completing projects from the classes held during Friday and Saturday. It's a great time to kick back and get to know the tutors a little more.

If your passion is paper craft, no matter what level you think you are at you will find this weekend totally inspiring!

There’s always such excitement in the air as everyone arrives for the first class on Friday morning and that buzz of excitement continues through to the last person leaving on Sunday afternoon. It’s definitely a time for kindred spirits to gather and there are lots of hugs at the end!
