Quilty House

Escape to a bygone era, when you step inside the 'A Brush with Quilty' studio, which is part of a charming, historic, federation home, in beautiful leafy East Tamworth. If the walls could speak they would have many a tale to tell.

'A Brush with Quilty' studio is a part of 'Quilty House', where I paint as well as hold regular watercolour classes, workshops and teach privately.

Once a Presbyterian home for 96 boys who‘s ages ranged between six and eighteen, 'Quilty House' is now a luxurious Bed and Breakfast with a modern twist on the breakfast side of things. Built around 1889 by Charles Jeffries Britten and his wife Annie, 'Quilty House‘ was was originally called ‘Avondale’. It was later known as ‘Beethovens’ and has been operating as a Bed and Breakfast on and off ever since. It was recently renamed ‘Quilty House‘ in 2018 and is once again welcoming guests.
