Welcome to our neck of The Woods…

Welcome to The Woods, the home and studio of renowned Australian stylist Deborah McLean and designer and photographer Colin Doswell. Located in the central highlands of Victoria, a stone’s throw from Daylesford and just over an hour from Melbourne, join us in an idyllic setting for a range of inspiring workshops and classes that foster creativity and innovation and cultivate and encourage collaboration.

‘I’ve attended their workshops for nearly a decade, and each time it feels less like a class and more like therapy.’
— Sandy Cummins, Acre of Roses
