Workshop & Classes

Discover a slower, more meaningful way to experience the Pilbara through creativity, culture, and connection.

At Grateful Remnants, our workshops and retreats are designed to nurture creativity, wellbeing, and connection—whether for a few hours or several days.

Led by founder Suzanne Philpot, sessions draw on over 40 years of textile practice and a deep respect for slow making traditions. Workshops are intentionally relaxed, supportive, and inclusive, allowing participants to work at their own pace.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced maker, our retreats and workshops offer space to learn, explore, and create in a supportive environment.
