SUMMARY:Unique Seafood Art Class
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Tweed Coast for a unique School Holiday activity in Pottsville\, NSW (between the Gold Coast and Byron Bay). \nPipit Restaurant’s unique seafood art class\, led by award-winning chef Ben Devlin\, will be a special School Holidays Gyotaku Class on Monday 12 January at 10am.
