It's hands-on, it's for hire, and it works better than another dinner reservation.

The Space Cowboy Gallery

The artist behind this Byron Bay gallery goes by The Space Cowboy — holder of 56 Guinness World Records and maker of paintings that double as animations.

Woodwork for Women

Patt Gregory has been teaching women to build furniture in Mullumbimby for over two decades. Her approach skips sample joints entirely — students start the actual project on day one, learning tool handling and construction logic through a mind-body method she developed after training as a carpenter-joiner in Bristol in the 1980s. Daybeds, dining tables, bookcases. Real things, made properly.
