Meet Tiffany
Tiffany Sharpe has spent her life with messy hands and a curious mind. Long before she was teaching others to create, she was a lifelong crafter — moving between quilting, knitting, scrapbooking, and anything else that let her build something meaningful from scratch.
She spent years as a chemistry teacher, and she'll tell you that science and art are just two sides of the same coin. Both need patience, experimentation, and a willingness to see what happens when different elements collide.
Today, her work blends the outdoors with traditional crafting — rooted in the belief that the best art comes from play. From gathering. From slowing down long enough to notice the things most people walk right past.
She can't go on a walk without filling her pockets with interesting leaves, textured bark, or smooth stones. At Manyoni, her pockets are going to be very full!
Something you didn't know "I am a collector of nature. I can't go on a simple walk without filling my pockets with interesting leaves, textured bark, or smooth stones that most people walk right past."
Everything You Need to Know
Seven days at Manyoni. Here's exactly what that looks like, what's included, and how to secure your place.
-
Each day moves to the rhythm of the reserve.
Mornings belong to the bush — early game drives, fresh air, and the kind of light that makes you want to capture everything. Then you come back, sit down at the table with Tiffany, and make something out of what you've just seen.
Tiffany leads daily mixed media workshops built around the world just outside your door: the texture of bark, the colours of the landscape, the shape of an animal mid-stride. Her roots in quilting, nature collecting, and experimental making turn each session into something closer to play than instruction.
Evenings are for sharing what you made, swapping stories around the fire, and watching the African sky remind you how small — and how lucky — you are.
This isn't a class. It's a gathering.
-
Every session is hands-on, tactile, and shaped by what the day has given you.
· Mixed media techniques using natural materials from the landscape
· Collage, layering and experimental mark-making
· Nature journaling — turning walks into creative fuel
· Freezing a fleeting moment and turning it into a physical memory
· Creative freedom — no rules, no judgement, just playNo experience needed. Tiffany's ideal guest is anyone with an open mind and a willingness to get their hands a little messy.

Where You’ll Be Staying
Zebra Hills - Manyoni Private Game Reserve, Hluhluwe, KwaZulu-Natal
Manyoni Private Game Reserve spans 23,000 hectares of KwaZulu-Natal wilderness and is home to the Big Five, over 400 species of bird, and some of the most paintable landscapes in South Africa. It's remote enough to feel like another world. It's comfortable enough that you won't want to leave.
This is where Pathway Partners hosts all its artist retreats, chosen deliberately for its scale, its wildlife density, and the quality of light that artists keep coming back for.
