In this sculpting workshop, we'll be taking inspiration from Rachel’s own Firetail Finch installation to guide the creation of your own clay finches to decorate your garden area. Rachel has been teaching figurative sculpture at the Central Coast Potters Society since 2016 and is a known sculptor on the Central Coast. Rachel’s work incorporates animal and environmental themes, and she is known for her eco art workshops, both in clay and drawing mediums.

Firescreek is a 2.5 acre, organic farm nestled in a rainforest backdrop in Holgate, Sydney.
We use regenerative farming techniques to grow over 30 species of fruit, 40 species of roses and countless other botanicals. Instead of relying on a single grape harvest, we're able to produce wine year-round using the abundance of seasonal produce grown on our farm.
Winemaking from fruits has been around for thousands of years – and Firecreek's winemakers continue to push the boundaries of this age-old practice. From elderberry, cinnamon and orange wine to coffee, chocolate and blackcurrant, we create unique flavour combinations that aren't produced anywhere else in the world.
When you visit, you're free to take a stroll through our magnificent garden and see the beauty of permaculture in action – with worm hotels, food forests, water-saving and regenerative farming practices on display.
Firescreek has appeared on NBN News, Sunrise and Tourism Australian, as well as several national magazine titles. Our wines have been awarded over 45 medals and are sure to delight creative foodies seeking new experiences and tastes.
Come and explore this quaint hidden gem on the NSW Central Coast... We can't wait to meet you.
"Enjoyed a great tour with the winemaker, who was very welcoming and enthusiastic about her craft. Also learnt about permaculture, organic gardening and wine-making from fruit and plants with a relaxing stroll around the garden. Highly recommend. I'm keen to book some of Firescreek’s other experiences." – Katie Milton, Secret Garden Winery Tour with a Winemaker
