'Rediscovering the Past Through Craft'

Step back in time — then make it your own.
As part of AdventureFest 2026, Redlands Coast Museum invites you to embark on The Heritage Artisan Faire Workshops: a hands-on journey through heritage skills, artistry, and self-discovery. Vintage trades meet modern creativity in a series of immersive workshops that celebrate craftsmanship as a living link between past and present.
Over ten days, explore the crafts and traditions that shaped Redlands Coast. Learn time-honoured techniques, uncover local stories, and experience the joy of making — guided by skilled local artisans and passionate Museum volunteers.
From blacksmithing in the Museum's historic forge
Burnt-brim hats using the art of pyrography
Ceramic pottery surface decorating
Glass fusing & glass engraving
Metal smithing
Traditional bookbinding
Toothbrush rag rug revival
Wooden spoon carving

…and more hands-on heritage workshops to discover.
This is your Arts & Culture Adventure — rich in story, skill, and made by hand.
