WHAT WE DO

We are a creative hub for the arts / crafts / design movement providing workshops and events  to inspire.

We seek out and promote local Melbourne based Artists.

We unleash the unexplored creativity in people.

We provide a social gathering for people to slow down and team up.

We create a sensory experience that will get people talking.

We have been told that we are like the craft version of a spa day. 

Oh… and did we mention you will leave on cloud nine, tickled pink and proud as punch?  I think we just did….

You see, they LOVE gin; they love everything about it - the distilling, the craft, the cocktails, the creativity and the story telling of Australian craftspeople just doing the thing they love best. So that is why The Windsor Workshop has chosen to pair up with Four Pillars on THURSDAY 10TH AUGUST to offer you a GIN MASTERCLASS that you will absolutely LOVE.  Book now through our website - group prices available too - limited number of seats so please don't waste a minute! #thewindsorworkshop
