About the host

Hosted by Barbara & Terry Bowness

Red Bach Retreat was Red Bach Gallery for a number of years selling our hand made copper sculptures. Due to injury we closed the gallery and are now running Writers Retreats, Sculpture Workshops, and I have written a book and made a series of sculptures for the last 6 years called The Secret Keeper. Have a look on Facebook thesecretkeepernz. We also provide a place for tutors to run there own workshops with on site accommodation. We have also opened it up for people to come and relax and have some time out in a restful environment to get away from their busy lifestyles. Come, visit and enjoy your stay with us.
