InStudio Art Trail is a self drive trail around artists studios and exhibition spaces happening over every weekend in August.
We couldnโt be more excited to kick off the 2022 InStudio Art Trail this weekend with 8 studios open from Crow's Nest to Highfields.

In retirement Rob and wife Lin were looking for a hobby they could combine with their love of travelling and researching Australian rural history.
Model making became a passion for them both and utilised their life skills โ Rob as a builder and Lyn as a seamstress. They settled on a standard size of 1/12 scale and began creating intricate and accurate models of horse drawn vehicles.
Using originals as a guide Rob makes the components from timber and metal and for many years Lin created the upholstery, bales of wool (for the load) and clothes for the dolls.
They put all these components together as dioramas, that not only display each model beautifully but also show a snapshot of Australian history.
