Welcome to the hill

A retreat where making is the whole point.

On the Hill Crafts – Makers’ Retreat began with a simple idea: a place where people could slow down, get creative and enjoy good company in a beautiful country setting.

Based in Yarraman, regional South East Queensland, our relaxed, hands-on retreats bring makers together to learn, connect and create. We keep numbers small so it feels personal, with good food, good company and plenty of time to switch off and make.

This was the best retreat I have ever had the pleasure of attending and I have been to a few over the years.

This retreat was amazing. First time bag making but it was no different to the first time I learnt to quilt, just faster. I had a ball and would attend again.

Jocelyn GJune 2026

Thankyou for organising a fun retreat. I learnt so much about bag making and I’m thrilled with the two bags I made.
