Come and celebrate the hands of the local artisan! In the Shoalhaven, we have many makers who are creating exciting and unique pieces that you can take home after your holiday. There’s something here to catch anyone’s fancy, whether you’re after something retro and crafty or you’re looking for something sleek and modern. 

You can meet local makers at places like Kangaroo Valley Woodcrafts, a great way to be inspired by the creative process. Located in the South Coast, they certainly have an extensive range of handcrafted gifts. From rocking horses to chopping boards, there’s plenty of locally made products to choose from. Or why not have a go at creating your own masterpiece at workshops run by The Artisan Collective in Nowra. 

For those who’d like to gaze up at walls filled with spectacular artworks, explore one of our many creative spaces at Courtyard Studios, Milton’s fantastic arts and crafts hub right in the centre of town, featuring woodworks, ceramics and all things handmade.
