Where we are
The central Sydney location of the workshop/studio in Darlington is central to our vision, being close the cultural hubs of Chippendale, Redfern and Newtown where many art galleries, studios and Sydney University and University of Technology Sydney (UTS) are located.
The workshop location is well served by public transport, with a short walk to Central and Redfern train stations, the Sydney CBD, and only 20 minutes by car from Sydney Airport.
